Hi everyone!
My name is Angela Ding.
I am both a credentialed Christian Counselor and an Associate MFT in CA. I am passionate about extending empathy, unconditional love, acceptance, and a non-judgmental attitude in the "True Love" God unreservedly loves us sinners with. Bearing in mind Psalm 23 as my favorite verses, I am adept at instilling "Living Hope" which could only be found in God who created each one of us with a purpose. God has left a God-shaped vacuum that cannot be filled by any earthly things like money, power, and fame, but Jesus Christ alone.

My ideal client is someone who is willing. It doesn't matter if you don't know what you're doing or if you feel afraid of or confident starting this journey. So long as you are willing, I am willing. Working with me will require vulnerability, and I never expect this in the first session because therapy, at its heart, is a relationship. If it takes time to trust me with your genuine, vulnerable self, that is okay. We can work towards trust while exploring what you feel comfortable starting with. This is how I build a space that holds the parts of you that need more trust to emerge.

If you’re suffering, you don’t have to do this alone. Anxiety, depression, substance use, and other struggles are often signs that something deeper is asking to be seen. Yet, to protect ourselves, we often build walls. Eventually, the same walls that kept us safe can keep us isolated from who we really are. Let's work together to slowly chip away at those walls so you can feel more whole, connected, and free.
