About
At the intersection of trauma, sexuality, and gender identity stands Angela Gunn, a Licensed Professional Counselor leading the Connective Therapy Collective (CTC). With a passion for addressing complex needs in these often-overlooked areas, Angela has cultivated a group practice that offers a safe haven for individuals seeking specialized care.
Angela's approach is deeply rooted in trauma-informed care, recognizing the profound impact that past experiences can have on one's present life. Her expertise extends beyond individual therapy, encompassing couples counseling and group sessions that create a supportive environment for healing and growth. What sets Angela apart is her commitment to serving communities that often struggle to find therapists who truly understand their unique challenges.
The CTC, under Angela's guidance, has become a beacon for those navigating the complexities of sex and gender. Whether clients are exploring their gender identity, working through sexual trauma, or seeking to understand their place within the LGBTQIA2S+ spectrum, Angela and her team provide a judgment-free space for self-discovery and acceptance. Her practice is not just LGBTQIA2S+ affirming but actively engaged in supporting the diverse needs of this community.
Angela's therapeutic toolkit is as diverse as her clientele. She incorporates body-centered psychotherapy and mindfulness techniques, recognizing the intrinsic connection between mental and physical well-being. This somatic approach allows clients to process trauma and emotions not just cognitively, but through their entire being. For couples, Angela draws from proven methodologies like the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to foster deeper connections and understanding.
Beyond her clinical work, Angela is committed to advancing the field of sex and gender therapy. She offers supervision to other professionals, sharing her expertise and helping to cultivate a new generation of therapists equipped to handle the nuanced needs of these populations. Her practice stands as a testament to the importance of specialized, compassionate care in the realm of mental health.
