Biography

Hi! I am Angélica Figueroa, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), PMH-C in the state of California. I am Latina, bilingual English and Spanish speaking, first-generation, Mexican-American female (ella/she/her).  I have sixteen years of experience providing individual and family therapy across all lifespans. I have dedicated my career to working alongside historically and systemically excluded communities (BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+) and folks to bring EMDR Therapy that focuses on undoing the effects of systemic oppression. I am also a PMH-C and provide therapy that addresses the challenges and adjustments that come with a growing family.

 

I have worked in outpatient community mental health centers, integrated medical health centers, held leadership and management positions, and have held my private practice since 2023 and can support therapists providing EMDR Therapy in these settings. I am a Certified EMDR Therapist through the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA) and I am currently an EMDR Consultant-In-Training working with Jasmine Adams, LCSW, PMH-C.

 

My passion is to bring EMDR Therapy to historically and systemically excluded communities (BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+) and folks to specifically address and support the healing from complex trauma, generational trauma, perinatal and postpartum challenges, adjustments to parenthood, oppression trauma, cultural stress, grief and loss, PTSD, and anxiety.  I enjoy providing support to clinicians connected to and providing support to BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+ communities as they work to bring EMDR Therapy to historically and systemically excluded communities.
Clinical Specialties: Anxiety, BIPOC populations, Community Mental Health, Complex Trauma/PTSD, Immigrant adults, Integrated Health Settings, LGBTQIA+ populations, Latinos/Latinx, Marginalized Communities, Online EMDR Therapy, Oppression Trauma, Trauma due to Marginalization, cultural stress, grief and loss, perinatal mood disorders

Consultation Group Info

EMDR BIPOC  Group Consultation

This BIPOC Group space is specifically held for clinicians identifying as Black, Indigenous, Latinx/Latine, Asian, and other traditionally underrepresented persons of color (BIPOC). I believe that creating this space for growth, collaboration, and to further develop for further skills in the application of EMDR Therapy for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities is valuable to our historically and systemically excluded communities.  I strive to fully realize and uplift my commitment to Social Justice by actively promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within my BIPOC group consultation and individual consultation.

EMDR Group BIPOC Consultations are led by me, Angélica Figueroa, LCSW, PMH-C, EMDRIA Certified Therapist, Consultant-In-Training. I am supported and guided by Jasmine Adams, LCSW, PMH-C EMDRIA Approved Consultant. The group consultation will support your training process by conceptualizing each of the eight phases of EMDR with a lens for identifying how systems of oppression contribute to oppressive cognitions. You will further your skills in how to guide historically and systemically excluded participants presenting with complex trauma, generational trauma, oppression trauma, cultural stress, grief and loss, PTSD, and anxiety in the identification of targets that address oppression trauma and the use of EMDR Therapy with Spanish speaking folks. An emphasis on conceptualizing phase one work within the framework of how the development of our identities has been affected by systemic oppression.

I received my foundational training in EMDR by the Institute for Creative Mindfulness. The BIPOC Group Consultations are for BIPOC Clinicians working with BIPOC participants. These consultations take place over Zoom. If you have received your foundational training through the Institute for Creative Mindfulness, your first 10 hours of consultation count towards your EMDR Therapist-In-Training certification. If you are working towards your EMDR Certification, hours also count towards your certification hours.

If you have questions or would like more information prior to reserving a spot in an upcoming BIPOC Group, you can reach me at Angelica@raicesyhearttherapy.com

Frequency of EMDR BIPOC Group Consultation: Biweekly on Saturday’s from 09:00am-11:00am PST

Testimonials

What people are saying

"The training was absolutely wonderful; I have to say it is one of the best trainings I have had! I have already been enjoying putting EMDR to work in my community and I have begun to see some of the great benefits of this work. I cannot thank you enough for the truly exceptional training; it has been a life-changing gift for my work in this community. I hope to continue to take future trainings and learn from the great knowledge of Dr. Jamie and the Institute for Creative Mindfulness, I so greatly enjoy learning and connecting with this wise group of people."

"As an anti-racist political activist I move primarily in BIPOC spaces. As a therapist I move primarily in white spaces. This training is a model for other modalities, EFT, IFS, DBT, CBT, ACT, etc., to not only denounce racism but to take action in multiple ways."

"With the EMDR training scholarship discount I was able to help my therapy scholarship clients and even got to support Iranian therapists who are holding so much for their clients these days."

"During my EMDR training, Dr. Jamie and ICM underscored that everyone has an experience somewhere along the dissociative spectrum. Their inclusivity nurtured my plural identity, and I could be myself without fear of judgment, whispers, or laughter. Their profound acceptance and respect made me feel seen, valued, and appreciated as a professional."

"ICM was one of the most well organized and engaging training platforms I have utilized. It allowed me to obtain a basic foundation in EMDR Therapy and bring the modality to a population of clients that otherwise wouldn’t have access to."

"For the first time, I met trainers who teach EMDR Therapy while integrating embodiment, creative techniques, mindfulness meditations, and all on TeleHealth!! I had transforming experiences personally during my own EMDR processing and learned how to utilize the standard EMDR protocol. Now, I am using EMDR Therapy with Sandtray Therapy and reaching new goals in my business!
Thank you Jamie & ICM!"

"Thank you ICM for sharing the remarkable, life-changing gift of EMDR therapy! I can't emphasize enough how my learning through ICM (trainings, Jamie's webinars, videos, etc.), and its incredibly supportive community, has been a complete game changer for me both personally and professionally. Truly grateful, and as we often say in EMDR sessions, I'll "just go with that!"."

"The ability to learn EMDR virtually was truly a transformative process. Through ICM, I have developed needed clinical skills and gained a network of amazing, trauma-informed clinicians that are passionate about providing top-notch care. The combination of mindfulness techniques with the standard EMDR protocol has been a game changer in my practice, providing much needed healing for those in which I serve. Thank you, Dr. Marich and Staff!"

"Dr. Jamie Marich has designed an EMDR training that is nothing shy of AMAZING! As the Founder of the "only" Therapist of Color Collaborative in the State of Colorado, being trained by someone who could help digest what is a very scripted protocol, and make it more culturally relevant was imperative. She did so with ease, patience, AND a bang up team of EMDR Trainers!"

"The Institute for Creative Mindfulness' trainings have been pivotal in my career and my personal healing and growth path. EMDR therapy training has equipped me to be a competent trauma therapist - something that, in my opinion, is an ethical imperative for anyone working in the mental health field. The ICM consultants and practitioner community keeps me growing in my skills and knowledge, as well as supported by a vast and diverse community of professionals."
