Specialized OCD Therapy:
Live your most fulfilling life
About AngelaHello and welcome! I'm Angela Grau, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California.
I specialize in helping adults break free from obsessive compulsive cycles and regain a sense of control over their thoughts and daily life. While my specialty is OCD, I am also passionate about working with those struggling with Depression, substance use and trauma. My practice is fully virtual, open to adults (18+) living in California.
PHILOSOPHYMy 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.
