Angela Amos
Counseling Resident
(she/her)
You may find yourself seeking a consistent and open-minded therapist who is able to accept you for who you are, who you used to be, and who you want to become. Sessions with me tend to start by co-creating little rituals that become our way of finding presence and creating a “safe-space” container to explore the how’s and why’s of your personal world. I strive to make my office feel like a cozy art studio where we might chat, drink tea, simply color, or create images that represent feelings we cannot express with words. Making art is an invitation, not a requirement. I may mention my idea if an appropriate art therapy exercise pops into my head and I will always thank you for your “no” if you are not feeling up for it.
Born in the PNW rainforest, I have a deep love for the natural world and a keen interest in bringing eco-art therapy into the city environment.I am gender, sexuality, neurodiversity, and in most other ways, affirming. Grief counseling, expanding our new reality to accepting loss or transition, is a subject I value discussing as well as navigating life with chronic pain, illness, or disability. As a former massage therapist and certified herbalist, I bring you a depth of experience in body awareness techniques, breath exercises, meditation, and purposeful movement. With lived-experience, I am able to hold space for support around neurodiversity, housing instability, chronic pain or illness, and finding one’s own relationship to queer identity. A long-time activist and graduate student at Antioch University Seattle, I am committed to learning and practicing a decolonial approach to therapy and welcome nuanced conversation about oppressive systems.
