About Angela Salemme Pereira da Silva, AMFT
Angela approaches therapy with the belief that profound growth often emerges from life’s most difficult moments. Inspired by the teaching, “No mud, no lotus,” she helps clients transform pain into wisdom, resilience, and inner strength. Her work honors the idea that healing is not about becoming someone new, but rediscovering the person you’ve always been beneath layers of fear, trauma, or overwhelm.
Her therapeutic style is rooted in the mind-body connection, weaving together mindfulness, somatic techniques, and nervous system regulation to help clients feel more grounded and present. Angela incorporates trauma-informed practices and EMDR to gently reprocess past experiences so they no longer limit a person’s ability to move forward. She draws from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), using them holistically and flexibly to meet the unique needs of each individual.
For clients seeking deeper integration, Angela also honors the spiritual dimension of healing. She thoughtfully incorporates energy work and spiritual awareness for those who value the sacred connection between mind, body, and spirit—creating a comprehensive therapeutic experience that supports emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.
With over two decades of experience teaching yoga, meditation, and mindfulness, Angela brings a grounded, warm, and deeply present energy into every session. Her multicultural background and time living abroad have shaped her appreciation for diversity and the shared humanity that connects us all.
Angela works collaboratively with clients to cultivate an environment of safety, compassion, and authenticity. Together, you will explore your emotional landscape, expand your capacity for peace, and reconnect with your true self. Her goal is to empower you to grow through life’s challenges and emerge more balanced, aligned, and whole.
If you are ready to begin your journey toward clarity, growth, and inner freedom, Angela is honored to walk alongside you as you bloom from your own mud into your lotus.
