Grief does not stay in the past, it lives in the nervous system.

Especially when the loss goes back further than you expected.

You may have lost someone recently. Or you may have been carrying something older, a mother who was absent, a childhood that asked too much of you, a way of moving through the world that made sense then and costs you now. New loss has a way of waking up what was never fully held. This work sits at the intersection of grief, attachment, and the body. Not to move you through it faster, but to help what is rising make sense.

MEET THE FACILITATOR

Angela Schellenberg

Navigating the deep ache of grief or the echoes of unresolved trauma can feel isolating. Whether you're mourning the loss of a mother, feeling the sting of estrangement, or wrestling with the shadows of childhood wounds, I’m here to walk beside you.

I’m Angela, a licensed psychotherapist with a heart for helping others find solace and strength in their healing journeys. My approach is rooted in compassion and expertise, blending trauma-informed care with innovative tools like EMDR therapy.

My work focuses on healing attachment wounds—particularly those left by maternal loss, emotional neglect, or strained family dynamics. As a certified Mother Hunger® facilitator, I create a safe space where you can rediscover the nurturing, protection, and guidance you deserve.

Beyond one-on-one sessions, I guide grief retreats, fostering communities of shared understanding and growth. Together, we can honor your story and craft a path forward, one step at a time.

    S K.

  • "Angela is amazing. I would never have come this far in my healing journey had it not been for the work we’ve done together. She is kind, empathetic, funny and relatable. I feel so fortunate to have found such a knowledgeable and caring therapist."

    Stephany

  • "I've had the pleasure of working with Angela for nearly 4 years now. I credit her for immensely helping me tackle the grief of losing my mother at 20, along with the subsequent anxiety and PTSD. I found her use of EMDR for more triggering memories to be very successful, and have adopted many of her methods for managing anxiety in my daily life. She is someone you feel an instant connection with and are comfortable speaking from the heart to. I've recommended her to multiple of my friends who also love her as much as I do!"

    Racheal

  • "Angela lives her values every day and her work on behalf of survivors of this crazy world we live in only helps to demonstrate how amazing she is. I strongly recommend her services!"

    GT

  • "Angela has been such a gift not only for me but also for my family as I learn how to be a better mom, partner, friend, etc. She has helped me overcome deep loss and grief and learn how to navigate this world to be my best self. Other friends/family who've I referred to her have also benefited from her compassionate, heart-felt counseling. Her humor is refreshing and relatable which makes her more approachable and makes me feel less alone in my personal endeavors, struggles and internal voices. I think of our time together as my self-care more rejuvenating than any spa service or the like. I can't recommend Angela enough."

    Wendy

  • "I completed the Mother Hunger course with Angela in December 2023. I had read Mother Hunger, and wasn’t finding the support I needed in my local community to navigate the complexity of this attachment injury alone. I found Angela’s web site and learned she does online groups."
