Therapists in Cambrian Park, San Jose, CA

Angelica Maulucci is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in the San Francisco Bay Area, and specializes in working with youth, adolescents, and their families. With the belief that generational healing begins at home, Angelica focuses on both aspects of "nature" and "nurture," to foster holistic support through life's changes. Transitions big and small can have a ripple effect on each family member, which can lead to individual and collective stress, trauma, and overwhelm.

Since 1979 I have acquired a broad range of experiences and skills, not the least of which is a sense of humor. I work with people to help them make real changes in the way they live their lives in areas such as self esteem, relationships, and communications.

Have you experienced abuse (e.g. physical, sexual, psychological, emotional, etc.) in the past and do the impacts of it seem to keep coming up in your relationships today? My name is Soy and I would like to help you find healing from your past. My approach to support your healing is through relationships--relationship with yourself, with others, and with me. I believe that relationships are at the core of our well-being and I will walk alongside you as we explore, sometimes challenge, and navigate strategies that no longer serve you, as well as the ones that do, in an open, honest, and curious way.

I help couples unveil values, expectations and personality differences in order to establish clarity and confidence for building a new future together. Learn how to repair from rupture and get back to a joyful connection. These are vital keys for a long-term relationship. Come and courageously see each other through compassion and strength. I also do individual HeartSync sessions based on Father Andrew Miller’s Christian counseling.

NOT ACCEPTING CLIENTS AT THIS TIME. I am trained in EMDR and I love it! EMDR is an amazing tool to help heal the effects of trauma and complicated grief. I have a open minded and open hearted spiritual approach. I am very experienced in helping people who are experiencing loss/ grief, PTSD and anxiety disorders. Life can be difficult, unpredictable and even tragic at times. Are you ready to develop the tools to cope with difficult emotions and heal?

Life changes constantly! Even with "good" change, we have a grief response! I work well with those experiencing sadness, worry and/or grief. I see Individuals and Couples who are in a "State of Adjustment" and having some difficulty. It may be an adjustment to the loss of a loved one through death or divorce, to hearing a painful truth, to a betrayal or to our "ideal" not being met. Couples, especially those with children, experience great adjustments in their relationship to their own Being as well as to each other. I work collaboratively and with great sensitivity.

I am passionate about helping individuals and couples in NEURODIVERSE RELATIONSHIPS. Do you feel lost or misunderstood in your marriage? With 30 years of marriage and having adult children, I understand the challenges of communication, emotional connection, and emotional safety. I have worked with elder couples who have adult children struggling with mental illnesses such as addiction, depression, and anxiety. I have experience working in diverse cultures and backgrounds in outpatient clinics, large healthcare systems, and private practices. I believe everyone has a voice and deserves to feel safe, respected, loved, and heard.

Are you feeling stressed? Do you wake up moody? Is your anger affecting your loved ones? Has your addiction isolated you? Is your relationship suffering? You can feel better and enjoy your life. Sometimes you just need a bit of guidance to find tools and techniques that help you. I shine a light on your toolbox so that you can find the right tools to take charge of your life.

Depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic illness, addictions and emotional challenges can disrupt our lives and everything we hold dear. I will work with you to develop a plan and set reachable goals to improve your quality of life.

Therapy is a safe place to be yourself. I work with adults, teens, and couples on learning how to identify their feelings and needs and how to get those needs met. The therapeutic relationship is one aspect of therapy that will help you in learning about yourself, will allow you to feel safe enough to face your inner fears and uncertainties, and help you to grow into the person you want to be. If you are dealing with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship conflicts, unhealthy communication, anger, and/or domestic violence, then it is possible that I will be able to help you with your own self-exploration.

Change can be difficult -- Allow me to help you succeed on your journey! Throughout my years of experience, I've found great joy and satisfaction in helping children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I work with children treating for phobias, unhappiness, divorce, grief, separation issues, abuse, neglect, poor self-esteem, and problems adjusting to life transitions. I use a combination of play therapy, art therapy, and talk therapy, as appropriate per the child's developmental level.

I specialize in working with adults who are experiencing various symptoms including anxiety, depression, substance use, and relationship issues. If you are experiencing these issues, then I can support you with learning evidence based tools to make measurable improvements in your life.

Daily life brings plenty of stresses, but most of us manage to function pretty well in spite of them. Sometimes, however, the stresses become more than we can handle, making us feel nervous, sad or angry. We might argue more with loved ones, have trouble sleeping or difficulty concentrating. Physical problems might show up like headaches or stomach complaints. If all this weren't enough, we might self-medicate by doing things like over-eating, excessive drinking or shopping. While these activities are actually attempts to self-comfort, a more productive way to gain relief when life gets out of control is to seek therapy.

Relationship issues? Do you suffer from anxiety? Does low self-esteem get in the way for you of having the life you really want? Maybe you are seeking insight into why you can't let go of past events that have impacted you. I can help. I believe strongly in the idea that everyone has the ability to heal themselves and at times may need additional support or guidance along the way. At the core of my therapeutic style, is the belief that a foundation of mindfulness and cultivating a healthy relationship to self is where healing and wholeness begin.

Resolution, purpose, change, and serenity... Life is a daily "act" which is never-ending - always in session. Do you ask yourself, "How do I turn off,?" How do I manage life?" "How did I get here?" Through collaborative efforts to get you where you'd like to be, we will explore and work towards the solutions and goals that you desire to accomplish.
