Angela Talbot

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of California (license #53812) with over 15 years of experience providing mental health support to children, adults, and families in private practice, clinic, school, home, and treatment center settings. I specialize in helping children discover tools to manage traumatic experiences (such as abuse, death and loss, impact of COVID-19, and medical traumatic experiences) and coping strategies for mental health symptoms that are impacting the child's life in their homes, daycares/preschools, and elementary schools. In my practice, I provide individual and family based therapy both in-person and via telehealth throughout the state of California. My years of experience and extensive training in Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) enables me to provide an approach that guides a parent or caregiver in enhancing their relationship with their child while also implementing consistent strategies to improve compliance and regulation of emotions. Many wonder why a very young toddler or child would need early mental health support. Research has shown early intervention to help with obstacles and behaviors in daycare, preschool, the birth of a new sibling, or caregiver changes can change a child's outcomes for success with managing their mental health later in life. My goal is to provide the child an outlet through the power of play therapy techniques, and trauma focused treatment approaches to aid in reduction of symptoms such as anxiety, depression, tantrums, and defiance. My hope is to walk alongside you and your child to discover the best ways to improve their mental health. In my work with adults, I have training and experience with helping clients manage their depression, anxiety, life stressors including grief and loss, fertility issues, and perinatal mood and anxiety support during pregnancy and in the post-partum period. I provide telehealth services throughout the state of California and in person services in Claremont. My fee is $150 per 45 minute session. I do not accept insurance however a Superbill can be provided in order for you to submit to your insurance provider. Good Faith Estimates are provided to provide a gauge of the potential cost of all treatment sessions however are subject to change dependent on progress and changes in needs.
