Angela Murphy, LPC

Angela Murphy is a licensed counselor (LPC) who brings six years of clinical experience to her work with women and families. She holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and denotes formal training and licensure to provide counseling services. Over the course of her career she was trained as a certified clinical trauma professional and previously counseled diverse children impacted by trauma. For the past two years she has concentrated her practice on supporting women, drawing on that trauma expertise and a familiarity with religious trauma.

Her clinical perspective grew in part from doctoral-level qualitative research, where she explored women and gender roles informed by her personal positions as a woman, daughter, wife, and mother. That research background contributes to a thoughtful approach when tracing the origins of coping strategies that have become unhelpful or harmful. She often identifies cultural and family messaging, trauma, and abuse as underlying influences and partners with clients to develop new coping skills rooted in self-compassion.

Angela uses a person-centered and eclectic framework tailored to each client's needs and priorities. She aims to listen closely, come alongside clients in their process, and empower women to build stronger relational skills, including healthier ways of relating to their own inner selves. Her work focuses on helping individuals understand patterns, heal from past wounds, and find practical steps toward improved well-being.
