About me

I'm licensed as a counselor (LPC) in Idaho and Arizona, with six years of therapy experience. My goal is to listen, come alongside, and empower women.

I have been trained as a certified clinical trauma professional. In the past, I counseled diverse children with trauma, but for over two years now I have been focusing on women. In addition, I have knowledge of religious trauma.

I also learned qualitative research in a doctoral certificate program. My own position as a woman, daughter, wife, and mother led me to research women and gender roles.

Along with my women's specialization, I bring insight to the complex roots of a client's coping skills that have become dysfunctional. These often stem from cultural and family messaging, trauma and abuse. I support clients in developing new coping skills with self-compassion.

I love to continue learning and growing. I use a person-centered and eclectic approach tailored to each unique individual. I'm here to help you build relational skills, including how to relate to your own inner self.

Angela Murphy is a considerate and thoughtful therapist. I appreciate that after listening to me, Angela is able to give strong, considerate insights into the issues. I have sought out therapy to gain a better understanding of myself and approach the world with more confidence and trust in myself. Navigating a person's insecurities and deep-seeded trust issues is extremely hard and Angela does that with real kindness and compassion.
