About me
My name is Angelina Larrigan. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with two decades of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families across a wide spectrum of needs.
Life rarely comes with a map. My role is to walk alongside you through unfamiliar terrain, helping you make sense of what feels unmanageable and overwhelming, shift the patterns that keep you stuck, and step back into your own agency.
For children and adolescents, the work is developmentally grounded and relationship-based. We focus on building the internal resources they need to navigate a world that does not always slow down for them. In plain terms: we will work together to understand what is hard, and build the skills to make the hard parts easier.
Therapeutic approaches
No two people are alike, so no single approach fits everyone. I draw from a range of modalities and choose what fits you your history, your goals, your stage of life.
Who I work with
Developmentally informed, play-based work that helps children build emotional regulation, coping skills, and language for their inner experience. Parents are active partners in the process.
Adolescence brings rapid neurological, emotional, and social change. Strength-based, developmentally attuned work addressing identity, anxiety, peer relationships, academic pressure, and emerging mental health concerns.
Depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, identity, and the cumulative weight of unresolved patterns. Clinical work focused on insight, regulation, and sustainable change.
Communication breakdowns, trust repair, infidelity recovery, high-conflict dynamics, premarital counseling, and rediscovering connection. Treatment draws from Gottman Method, Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy (IBCT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Systemic work addressing family conflict, high-conflict dynamics, blended family dynamics, parent-child relational ruptures, communication breakdowns, and intergenerational patterns that affect the whole unit.
Late-life transitions, grief, loss of independence, and the particular shape of meaning-making in older adulthood.
Areas of focus
My philosophy
Therapy is not a formula. It is a clinical collaboration. I bring training, evidence-based tools, and two decades of experience across diverse populations. You bring the expertise on your own life. Together we identify what is driving the difficulty and build a targeted path forward.
Many clients begin to notice meaningful change within a few weeks. Progress continues to unfold from there and I'll adjust our approach as you grow.
"As a therapist, one of my essential roles is to guide clients through life's uncertainties, illuminating the often dark and winding paths they may feel unfamiliar or unsure about navigating."
