Hello! My name is Angela and I am delighted that you are on your way to a better "you"! I am spiritually based, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20+ years of experience working with and supporting individuals and families. I received my graduate school education from California School of Professional Psychology. I have worked with clients with a wide range of mental health and relational challenges which include depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, relationship issues, peer pressure challenges, amongst others. My specialty is working to help spouses/partners return to a more healthier place in their relationships'.
My counseling style is warm, interactive, and down to earth. I believe in treating everyone with respect, dignity, and compassion. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral and client-centered when providing individual and group counseling. For couples, my therapeutic approach is solution-focused with communication therapy techniques that help couples return to a baseline or what the relationship looked like when it's healthy.
You possess within you everything you need to overcome mental health challenges and I am ready to partner with you to discover that "better you!"
I look forward to working with you!

When I first signed up for therapy for the first time, I was kind of nervous of how it would turn out & cautious to see if my therapist will help me in getting the healing that I needed. But, Angela definitely exceeded those expectations. She welcomed me with open arms & was patient with me the entire step of the way. As I told her, I love her directness & subtle advice that she gives; along with her humor & fun, relatable stories on the side. I’m beyond blessed and grateful to have went with my heart & chose the right therapist to help assist me to my greatness. Thank you Angela for all that you’ve done for me. You’ve made such an impact in my life & I hope to keep telling you my drama more in the future lol.

Angela Crosson is a gifted and impactful therapist. She is compassionate and supportive. She also dares to challenge my limiting beliefs and perspectives. Working with Angela helped me get clear about my past and helped me get stronger and increase my capacity for my life’s purpose. I met her at a time when I was in crisis. With nurturing and caring support, strength and courage she pulled me up. Now I’m more confident, my boundaries are more clear, and I feel safe and joyful. I don’t know where I would be without meeting her and spending time in her care. Thank you, Angela!
