About us

Hi, I’m Angelica!

Come take a journey with me, where together we will craft a creative healing experience just for you. Working together we will find way to help you heal from whatever may be stopping you from living your life with freedom and purpose.


I believe in using your creativity to help find a way out of anything that may have caused pain in your life. I have seen many people heal their hearts and lives to create the life they had always dreamed of. Now, I want to help you increase the light that lives inside of you.

For over a decade, I have used traditional evidence-based therapies, in addition to creative interventions, group therapy, and the latest EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) therapy, to help move the healing process along. To me, laughter is as healing as crying, so don’t be surprised if you hear laughter coming out of my office! 
 


I look forward to getting to know you better and helping to you heal, stay healthy and grow.


It’s my heart’s desire to make sure that each client is able to get in touch with their inner creativity, so they can create the life they have always dreamed of and deserve, one filled with love, joy and healing.”

Experience

Snapshot of

For more than 10 years Angelica has worked in private practice, using creative and evidence-based methods to help her clients –using several interventions, including psychodrama, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.

She is certified in the latest EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapeutic methods, which helps individuals cope with traumatic events and emotions for true healing.

She’s worked within a large in-patient treatment center, where she gained experience working with groups, families and individuals with eating disorders.

Angelica has also taught Group Therapy to Master’s candidates in the University of Miami’s Psychology program, and served as clinical director of a Christian eating disorders support group called Lasting Freedom.

She embarked on her career in psychology working at Miami Children’s Hospital in the psychiatric unit & facilitating groups for children and teens who self-injured.

Angelica has spoken nationally and internationally on a variety of topics including, trauma, self-injury and eating disorders.

My journey to creating Eden began one day, when I was praying and felt God directing me to start a faith-based group. At this point in my life, I had spent over a decade working with people with eating disorders and wanted to offer a space where science and faith could truly intersect. My goal was to create a group where people might learn to cultivate the garden of their heart to heal, repair and restore and take them back to the very beginning. To Eden.  



My inspiration to start this collaborative of therapist's was based on my relationship with God. I have seen people of all faiths and no faith come into our offices, groups and transform their lives. 



All are welcome! 

Science can change, but only God can transform.



Hi, I’m Leslie!

From my early days wielding a toy stethoscope, to my fulfilling career in community mental health, my journey has been a testament to my unwavering commitment to helping others. As a Registered Behavioral Therapist (RBT) I gained invaluable insights into the intricate world of human behavior and the profound impact it has on individuals and their families. Throughout my career, I have also been blessed to speak with groups on various mental health topics —from schools to foster care programs to teacher’s workshops.

Working with children, adolescents, and their families as a Mental Health Counselor is not just a profession; it's a joy and privilege that fuels my passion. My mission is clear: to assist individuals in discovering the grace they need on their unique healing journey. Guided by a lifelong calling, I've dedicated myself to empowering others to find their inner strength, purpose, and, most importantly, peace. I long to be a beacon of hope and light for those around me.

Join me on this transformative path, where my experience as a therapist, coupled with compassion, dedication, and unwavering support, converge to illuminate the way toward well-being and personal fulfillment. Together, we can discover the strength within and embark on your journey toward lasting peace.

Hi, I’m Marian!

I’ve always been deeply curious about what makes relationships work—what helps people feel connected, understood, and secure, both with others and within themselves. That curiosity grew from my own experiences navigating the complexities of relationships, and it has led me to a career dedicated to helping others build meaningful, fulfilling connections.

As a licensed mental health therapist, I specialize in working with couples, adults, young adults, and teens. My focus is on supporting clients in exploring the patterns that shape their relationships, improving communication, and fostering a stronger sense of self. I believe that healing happens in connection—and that healthy relationships are foundational to emotional well-being.

In addition to my clinical work, I’ve had the opportunity to share insights on relationship dynamics through guest appearances on podcasts such as Love On and The Coffee Breakup, contributing to wider conversations about love, self-awareness, and growth.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in real-life experience. Whether you're facing challenges in your relationships, struggling with self-esteem, or simply wanting to deepen your emotional connections, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel supported, seen, and empowered to move toward the life and relationships you want.

I love to

Hi, I’m Ivanna!

I’ve always been drawn to the richness of human stories—curious about what shapes us, what sustains us, and how we find our way through pain and transformation. Over the past seven years, I’ve had the honor of working with children and families, particularly within the foster care and dependency system. This work has deepened my belief in the resilience of the human spirit and strengthened my commitment to creating spaces for healing, growth, and hope.

Each of us carries a personal narrative—a living story shaped by relationships, experiences, and turning points. Sometimes, that story gets interrupted or burdened by challenges that make it hard to see the next chapter. I believe therapy offers a space to pause, reflect, and gently rewrite the parts of our story that no longer serve us.

My approach is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and collaboration. I strive to offer a safe, supportive environment where you can explore your story with honesty and compassion. Whether you are navigating trauma, transition, or simply seeking greater self-understanding, I would be honored to walk alongside you as you uncover strength, clarity, and new meaning in your journey.

Working with Angie has been an amazing privilege, and a true blessing in my life.

I am going to attempt to put my experience into words, but I know I won't be able to fully describe what it has been like for me, or the extent to which being Angie's client has changed my life. When I started working with Angie, I didn't really acknowledge that I had significant trauma. I had been Anorexic for over 20 years, and I was still just trying to get a handle on that and basically just to survive.

During the years I have worked with Angie, literally almost everything has changed.

Working with Marian as our therapist has been an experience beyond measure!


Marian helped my partner and I rebuild our relationship and encouraged navigating conflict, which we were both terrified of, rather than ignoring it. Thanks to her, we are both able to handle disagreements and have been able to improve our relationship significantly by starting to establish greater trust.

Leslie is kind, patient, and a person of trust for my daughter and our family. 

Leslie has been working with my daughter for several years helping improve her relationship with food, and associated self-esteem issues. Leslie is kind, patient, and a person of trust for my daughter and our family. Her impact has been key to improving my daughter's social and family relationships, as well as her ability to manage stress and anxiety. We are so grateful for Leslie! 

I consider myself blessed to call Angie my therapist.

I’ve never met someone who has provided me with so much insight and expertise. The love and compassion she has for her career and for providing therapy is something I get to witness in every session I have with her. I don’t know who or where in life I would be if it wasn’t for her. Truly life saving & life changing. - JM 

Without a doubt, Eden is the singular reason I've come so far in my recovery from a 10-year battle with an eating disorder.

The intimate setting allowed me to be honest, vulnerable, and feel supported by a small group of young women who were struggling just like me, and who loved Jesus as much as I did. By incorporating scripture, exceptional therapeutic techniques, and individualized meal support, Eden is a group unlike any other. The power of God is present in every session, and His love radiates through the team as they lead with fearlessness and grace. As someone who never, EVER thought she'd find a way out of the darkness, I can't recommend this group enough.

Angie is a great professional and incredible individual.

She knows the importance of building a relationship of trust and through that relationship she provides hope and the will to overcome adversities in the light of faith. Angie is so passionate and detailed about her work, it was a blessing to be with her and be guided by someone who truly cares. The most beautiful part is to realize that we are a much stronger family and that even those adversities do come with a blessing, proving that in fact all things that happen are good. Thank you Angie for being our Angel. - Jaime and Gisela Mendoza

EDEN has helped me build a life that I am proud of.

I would not be where I am in my recovery without EDEN. Both Angie and the team treat their clients with love and celebrate the wins while catching us when we fall. And we all have fallen. Through EDEN I shaped my values, which help me crystalize that having an eating disorder was not one of my values and therefore I needed to give all my energy to stopping it.

Eden Therapy Co has really helped me with my struggles and helped me to become a better, happier person.

They are extremely kind and you can tell that they truly care about helping you grow. They put a lot of thought into their sessions and are great listeners. They are the perfect people to talk to when you need to vent, and provide excellent advice. Their support and guidance has brought me a long way in my mental health journey, and I am a much happier person than I was when I first started. They taught me some excellent coping mechanisms and strategies, and I don’t know what I would do without them. I cannot thank them enough for helping me through this process of finding my inner peace and achieving a much better mental state.
