Hello! My name is Angie Garita, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist and an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of California. I graduated from California Baptist University with an M.S. in Counseling Psychology. I have experience providing services to clients dealing with depression, anxiety/stress, trauma, anger management, attention issues, grief &loss and adjustment issues. I have also facilitated parenting classes and have experience with family therapy. My approach uses a combination of therapeutic modalities such as; Client-Centered, Solution Focused and Cognitive Behavioral therapy. However, I am skilled in assessing the needs of my clients and demonstrate flexibility in providing interventions and strategies best suited for each individual.
Overall my counseling style is pretty laid back. I have been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate, with a pretty good sense of humor. I like to focus on identifying my client's strengths and helping them to maximize those strengths to overcome obstacles.
I'm here to help you sort through the things that are difficult right now, and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment. I am deeply passionate about my work as a therapist and take great pride in being a support to others during challenging times. I look forward to working with you during this journey.
Additional areas of focus: Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Grief, Eating disorders, Career difficulties, Coping with life changes, Coaching, Compassion fatigue, ADHD

Angie is non-judgmental, knowledgeable, and talks to you like a friend. She offers you perspectives that you may not have considered, supports you through your own self-exploration, and overall makes you feel safe talking to her about anything. I'm so glad to have been matched up with her. I can see progress after each session, which is amazing. She also checks up and offers you resources and worksheets in between sessions. She's awesome.
