Conditions We Support
Angela Saavedra is trained to support a variety of mental health conditions and concerns. Learn more about how psychotherapy can help you find relief, so you can live the life you want.
Anxiety & Depression
Are you struggling with anxiety or depression that makes it hard to enjoy life?
Anxiety can show up as excessive worry, dread, or fear. It can cause muscle tension, sweating, and trouble sleeping, leaving you disconnected from things you once enjoyed.
Depression can bring feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of energy or interest. You might notice changes in appetite, constant tiredness, or trouble sleeping, making you feel isolated or alone.
Therapy can help you manage both anxiety and depression with the right tools, strategies, and support. We will work together to understand and cope with your feelings, helping you regain control and find relief.
If you want to calm your nerves, improve your mood, increase motivation, and enjoy life again, book an appointment or a free consultation to get started.
Identity Crisis
Are you feeling lost or uncertain about who you are?
Going through an identity crisis, especially during school or work, can be overwhelming. It’s like you’re searching for answers about yourself and your place in the world, but it’s hard to find them.
Getting support and guidance can make these challenges feel more manageable. Therapy can help you process your emotions, manage your stress levels, and help you cope with the challenges you’re facing.
Together, we can work towards building a stronger sense of identity and confidence so you can feel more sure of yourself and your path forward.
Neurodiversity Support
Do you or your loved one struggle with Autism, Dyslexia, ADHD, OCD, or Tourette’s? Is it hard to find ways to cope with these unique perspectives?
It’s normal to feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, or to have trouble staying organized and managing emotions. These challenges can affect daily life and make it hard to reach goals.
People with these needs often struggle with restlessness, staying focused, forgetfulness, time management, and intrusive thoughts. This can lead to feelings of guilt, shame, or anxiety, impacting all areas of life from school to work to social situations.
Angela specializes in providing support to kids and adults facing these challenges. She helps them understand their strengths and develop coping strategies. She can teach practical skills and strategies to manage symptoms and reduce anxiety caused by thoughts and behaviours.
By working with Angela, you or your loved one can learn to embrace their unique perspective, navigate life with more confidence, build meaningful relationships, and live a fulfilling life.

Physical, Emotional & Sexual Abuse
Has your past experience with abuse made it hard for you to live a normal life?
The effects of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse can have deep and lasting effects. It often leads to feelings of guilt, shame, depression, anger, fear, and isolation. Trusting others or forming close relationships can become challenging. All these struggles can make daily life feel overwhelming.
Therapy can give you a safe place to heal from abuse. We are here to help you process difficult emotions and experiences, and to develop strategies for managing anxiety, building self-esteem, and forming healthier relationships.
When you’re ready to take the first step towards healing, we are here to help.
Play Therapy
Is your child having trouble making friends or expressing themselves? Do they get overwhelmed easily or find it hard to focus?
Your child may feel misunderstood, have trouble fitting in, or experience a rollercoaster of emotions, which can lead to issues both at school and home.
Play therapy is a great way to deal with these challenges. Angela specializes in guiding children to communicate better, express their feelings, and work through challenges using play.
Through play therapy, your child can learn positive ways to express themselves, develop coping strategies, navigate difficult situations, and build social skills.
Postpartum Depression
Are you experiencing persistent sadness, guilt or struggling to bond with your baby?
For many new moms, getting used to motherhood can be difficult. It’s common to face unexpected challenges as you settle into a new routine.
With postpartum depression, you may experience low mood, excessive crying or tearfulness, or struggle with feelings of guilt or worthlessness as a new mom. It can also make it hard to bond with your baby, leaving you feeling irritable, angry, or isolated.
Postpartum depression can show up within the first few months after giving birth, or it may also develop over a longer period. It’s often seen as a more intense version of the “baby blues”.
There are many reasons why individuals experience postpartum depression, including changes in hormones, lack of sleep, emotional changes due to new routines and relationships, past mental health issues, and environmental factors such as a lack of social or financial support.
Therapy can help you adjust to all the feelings you are experiencing as a new mom by providing emotional support, guidance, and coping strategies. You don’t have to adjust to motherhood alone. We are here to support you!
Relationship Issues
Are you finding it hard to reconnect or strengthen your relationship?
Relationships can be complicated and sometimes leave us feeling lost and alone. You may be struggling with open communication, trust issues, dealing with arguments, or feeling emotionally distant from your partner. These issues can impact your daily life, bringing up feelings of sadness, frustration, and stress.
Therapy provides a safe and supportive place to work through these challenges. You will work on developing healthy communication skills, rebuilding trust, and handling conflicts calmly. Therapy also helps you set healthy boundaries and gives you the tools to create the connection you crave.
Stress Management
Do you feel like there’s no end to the list of tasks you need to manage or accomplish both at home and at work?
Overwhelming stress can lead to a mix of emotions like anxiety, frustration, and exhaustion. It’s common to start to shut down and feel disconnected from those around you.
Therapy can help you explore why you feel the way you do, develop healthier coping strategies, and give you the tools you need to manage your daily challenges more effectively.
Together, we can work on making changes, one step at a time.
