Psychotherapist
Clinician
Hiya! My name is Angela Mack, a biracial and multicultal, Black and Korean cisgender woman who currently practices as a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor in Maryland.
I was born in Korea and grew up in the United States, in Viriginia. Many people wonder about ability to speak Korean. Growing up in Virginia, my only Korean language partner was my mother, a Korean woman born and reaised in Seoul. Therefore, my Koren remain conversational, but not completely fluent. My father, a Black American soldier, understood the value of culture and traditions, so he made sure I was infused with Black culture, while still encouraging me to explore my Korean heritage as well. Growing up in a biracial and multicultural home, my parents instilled values of hard work and building the capacity for change.
Due to my multicultural experience, I value cultural diversity and I am passionate about supporting patients from different races, ethnicities, identities, and cultures. Also, I consistently adhere to social justice practices and am committed to serving historically marginalized populations, especially Black and brown communities teens and adults.
Selecting me as your therapist or your teens' therapist means that who you are at your core, will be seen, valued, nurtured, and guided down a path of healing from the root. Trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and healing focused is my promise to you.
PlayfulLeigh,
Angela
