My name is Angela Coker, PhD. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in California. Most of my clinical work focuses on women’s personal development. I have over twenty years of experience working with a diversity of individuals, especially women of color. I use a Cognitive Behavioral Approach (CBT), which explores how individuals think and behave within a particular situation. CBT examines how to identify and change thought patterns that do not serve long-term life goals. I also use a feminist approach that values the equality of women and views women as experts of their own lived experiences. I provide therapy to individuals who are dealing with normal life transitions, challenges, and stress related to relationship issues, career development, parenting, body image, health concerns, menopause, as well as individuals who are trying to navigate life in the most effective way possible. My communication style is client-centered and inviting. I recognize that therapy can be scary, especially for someone who has never talked to a therapist before. I work to provide a warm and safe environment for individuals to tell their story and share their concerns.
