Angela Charles , LMFT
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California
Hello,
I'm Angela Charles, LMFT (License #151885). My work is centered on helping individuals move beyond coping with painful experiences and toward fully processing them.
Over time, I have developed a clinical focus on trauma recovery and the emotional patterns that often grow from unresolved experiences—such as people-pleasing, self-doubt, anxiety, and relationship struggles.
Using trauma-informed approaches such as EMDR, I support clients in safely processing experiences that continue to shape their emotional responses today.
My goal is to create a therapeutic space where clients feel deeply understood, supported, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and freedom.
About Me
Before becoming a therapist, I spent years working in the entertainment industry which was an experience that gave me deep appreciation for the pressure, identity shifts and emotional complexity that many of my clients navigate. I decided to pursue a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology and I haven't looked back since.
Today I work with individuals, couples, teens and families from diverse backgrounds, blending evidenced-based approaches with genuine human connection and a commitment to ongoing learning, training and consultation.
When I am not in the therapy room you will find me working out, reading a good book or spending time with my family.
How I Work With Clients
I offer telehealth therapy to clients throughout California and provide in-person sessions at my office in Ventura County.
Intensives & Weekly Therapy Options
Some people find that their schedule is too busy for weekly therapy sessions. Others feel that weekly therapy moves slower than they prefer. EMDR intensives provide an opportunity for clients to experience great therapeutic gains over a condensed period of time.
