Specialized OCD and PTSD Therapy:

Find Relief and Recovery through Evidence-Based Treatment

About Angela

Hello and welcome! I'm Angela Grau, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California.

I am specialized in the treatment of OCD, OC-Spectrum disorders, PTSD and anxiety. I also treat Depression, substance use disorders, life transitions and grief. My practice is fully virtual, open to adults (18+) living in California. 

PHILOSOPHY

My therapeutic approach centers around nurturing the profound relationship we have with ourselves. Together, we will collaboratively explore your inner experiences with authenticity, curiosity, and compassion. I am dedicated to helping you gain deeper insights into your current stressors and symptoms as well as equipping you with the tools needed to navigate and overcome them.

My goal is to provide the space for you to feel truly heard and supported while empowering you to show up for yourself in new ways.

  • Self compassion

    Being human is hard. Together, we will build understanding and self compassion instead of listening to our harsh critic voice.

  • Mindful awareness

    To build healthy change, we must know what dysfunctional patterns we are stuck in first. We will use mind/body techniques aimed at building awareness and insight into our internal struggles.

  • Strengths and tools

    You already have the strength within you to overcome your challenges and build a fulfilling life. I will help you uncover tools and create more effective coping strategies.

  • Radical acceptance

    This life is full of uncertainty which often makes us feel unsafe and anxious. Together, we will build tools for ultimate acceptance of these uncertainties (and ourselves) in order to live our most fulfilling life.
