ANGEL THOMSON, LICENSED MARRIAGE & FAMILY THERAPIST ASSOCIATE
Grief and Relationship Therapy in Seattle
You remember a time when feeling anxious and overwhelmed weren’t the “norm” … but those days feel like a distant memory. Don’t you wish you could change that?
You’ve come to the right place.
I’m Angel, and I help teens, women, and couples just like you: ones that have it within them to be confident and thriving again, but just need the support to get there.
I help my clients find emotional balance, self-confidence, and resilience by helping them better understand themselves and one another. I believe that secure attachment to self and to others is what allows us to heal, grow, and become fully alive humans.
Many of today’s solutions for anxiety, grief, and relationship problems are focused on only managing symptoms, leading so many to feel powerless and like they’ll never find healing or lasting change. While I will help you feel stabilized, we will also do the deeper work of uncovering what is keeping you stuck and why. I know that your circumstances are unique, so every step we take is tailored to you, and always with your specific end goals in mind.
First, we unpack the experiences that are causing distress in your life. Understanding the past and the present is important, and we will also focus significantly on who you want to be and where you want to go. Then, we work on self-awareness and practical skills that will be most effective for you. Through our work together, you’ll feel more confident in handling difficult situations and navigating life's ups and downs.
I am dedicated to helping people heal & grow.
My training in anxiety, grief, and couples therapy means I have the expertise you need and deserve when moving through painful and challenging times in your life. But at the end of the day, you want to know you’re working with someone who “gets” what it feels like to struggle with feeling alone and disconnected, right?
I get it because I’ve lived it myself, and I’ve worked with many others who were right where you are. I know that sometimes you just want to give up. So when we work together, you won’t just get a trained therapist. You’ll get someone who truly understands what you’re going through.
