Angela Aaron, MA, LPC
I am passionate about working with anyone who is really ready to tackle their life in a new way and say “yes!” to themselves.
I believe fully in the human capacity to heal and I would be honored to support you on your journey of finding true contentment and joy in your life.
How can I support you in your healing journey? I graduated from the University of Maine with a degree in Child Development and Family Relations and graduated from Naropa University with a master’s degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Wilderness Therapy. I have been working in the field in various capacities for over 15 years, and have now established a way of working with people that is truly integrative and effective.
In our work together, I will support you in breaking old patterns, navigating life transitions, and tolerating the inevitable ups and downs of life with new tools in your toolbox. There are many ways of gaining control of your life and I’ll help you find the approach that best serves you. Health is intrinsic, which means it is already within you. Our time together will be about creating a space where you can be led back to your already healed and whole version of self.
A little bit about my history: I grew up in the woods and on the waters in rural Maine. As a child and young adult, I struggled to figure out who I was and what support I needed to keep growing. I was stuck and I was in pain. I also struggled with mold toxicity and Lyme disease, which gave me an entirely different understanding of what healing entails. Today, I wake up feeling full of energy, gratitude and joy because I know how to take control of my life. This is what I’ll help you find in yourself too!
I offer a non-judgmental, safe place for you to practice your vulnerability and heal through contact with your deepest self. Let’s uncover the old patterns, limiting beliefs, and unconscious influences that are holding you back. It’s time to step into a more empowered you, and I would love to join you in this exciting next step.
It won’t always feel good to unravel all of the pieces that have held you back, but we can do it together. You don’t have to do this alone anymore. Your journey towards true contentment and joy starts today if you are ready.
Sign up for a free consult if you are ready to say “YES!” to yourself and see how beautiful the rest of your life can be.

Gretchen Pangilinan, MA, Reiki Master, Intuit, Art Therapist
All of my experiences have brought me to where I am today. They built me, they shape me, they inform my decisions and allow me to comfortably and eagerly enter into a loving, caring and undivided space with individuals and groups I work with. I had no idea as a small girl growing up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, that one day I would be working with people on an energetic level. I wouldn’t even have understood those words. I haven’t always been graced by the knowledge that I could be so close to the spirit world and all the realms. I had a close connection to God, but in my late teens and early adult years, I needed to figure out that connection in a different way for myself. The God I was taught in Catholicism didn’t fit for me anymore. So, I searched and I read, I looked and I wondered. I eventually found my way to Naropa University to study Art Therapy. In that atmosphere, and with the people I met, I was pulled along, I was opened up and from then on the journey has been a continuous path of unfolding. I founded and ran the Art Therapy Department at The Denver Hospice. I got married. I had two children. I created and ran a restaurant with my husband. I became a full time reiki practitioner. And during all this time, a kept engaged with that which became true for me, this oneness, this connected-ness we all share, this beauty and love that resides inside each of us. It took me 47 years to truly live this knowing, but here I stand each morning and each night, feeling the light within me and knowing that light transmutes the world outside of me. A quote by shamanic practitioner, Sandra Ingerman explains so fully my belief and understanding of this world, “It is who we become that changes the world, not what we do. Harmony within, creates harmony without.” Just writing that, I take a big belly breath and relax in my body. Yes! That is it for me. So, I invite you to create the inner landscape you want, the one you want to feel every single moment of every single day, so that what is inside of you, transmutes the world around you.
