Angela R. Wurtzel

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“I am a psychoanalytically trained psychotherapist specializing in the treatment of eating disorders, process addictions, perinatal mental health and complex family relationships. My private practice is exclusively online and I am able to provide services in California, Colorado, Florida, DC, and New Mexico. ”

About Me

I help individuals, couples, and groups navigate challenges with eating disorders, process addictions, or perinatal mental health. My psychoanalytic training means we'll explore underlying patterns together. This approach helps you gain insight and find lasting change. Online sessions offer flexibility, connecting you from California, Colorado, Florida, or Indiana. It suits those ready to deeply understand themselves and move towards greater well-being.

Approach

Sessions unfold as a steady, curious examination of recurring feelings and behaviors that shape eating, addictive patterns, and the upheaval of new parenthood. I meet with you online in English, and pace the sessions to balance close listening with gentle challenge. We track habits, link present moments to earlier life, and I sometimes suggest brief between-session reflections or small behavioral experiments to test new ways of relating. People who prefer thoughtful, exploratory work that aims for deeper, lasting shifts tend to find this helpful.
