Angie Platt Therapy provides individual therapy to teenagers, parents, adults, relationships, and marriage and co-parenting counseling for couples in Folsom, California.
Hello, my name is Angie Platt, and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)! Welcome to my spot on the internet that can help you get to know me and the services I provide.
Personally, I am a wife, a mom, a lover of live music (especially country), football, and high heels, and I’m located in Folsom, California.
As a therapist, you can expect that I’ll be a good listener, but I am not that therapist that sits quietly. The process of therapy is a conversation, and if you don’t know what to say or do, I will help us navigate. You’ll find that I’m going to challenge you, but I won’t dictate. Let’s get curious and explore those areas of your life that you want to see some changes.
I offer counseling to clients in all stages of healing. Maybe you have been in therapy before, or maybe this is your first experience. Regardless, I’ll meet you where you’re at today and just ask that you be open to the possibilities and willing to try new tools.
I’m expectant but never pushy. I want you to see results, but I want you to go at your own pace. You will find I am insightful but not intrusive. I will bring observation and vision, but I want you to recognize your own process for change and experience the relief of understanding in those “aha moments.
Lastly, I am a cheerleader, but not unrealistic. My role is to help you grow authentically, in the way you were always meant to be. I will be your biggest fan and help you reach achievable goals along the way. Let’s celebrate your healing together.
Therapy can be scary and hard and anxiety provoking. Trust me, I get it.
But let me assure you that the moment you step into my office, I am working to calm those nerves and make you feel as welcome and peaceful as possible. Research shows that the connection with your therapist is the most important component when starting your therapy journey.
I like to say connection is my superpower. So, join me in this tough but rewarding walk of emotional healing. Let’s explore, unpack, heal, and maybe share a few laughs along the way.
In my work as a therapist, I have found my true passion in helping people find the happiest, healthiest, and most productive version of their lives.
