Angela Merceret, LSW
Licensed Social Worker
Angela’s work is rooted in a feminist lens that honors the invisible labor, expectations, and cultural pressures placed on women and parents. Feminine rage deserves space — not silencing. Rage isn’t a malfunction; it’s information, a boundary, a survival instinct. Together we’ll explore what your emotions are trying to say and build tools to move through them with clarity, grounding, and power. I’m warm, collaborative, and very human – and yes, sometimes we laugh, because parenthood and healing can be absurd. Think: real talk, gentle challenge, mindfulness, and the occasional 90s song lyric, Ted Lasso quote, or dragon metaphor.
A personal message:
Therapy with me is not about perfection; it’s about authenticity and relief. If you’re reading this at 2am feeling overwhelmed, invisible, angry, scared, or like one more “You got this, mama!” will send you into a pillow-scream — I see you. There’s room here for your softness and your fire.
When you’re ready, I’m here to help you feel supported, less burdened, and more like you again.
