Angela Murphy , LPC

Angela Murphy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with licenses in Idaho and Arizona and six years of clinical experience. She focuses on walking alongside women as they navigate trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and many life transitions, offering a supportive space to explore how past experiences shape current coping patterns.

Trained as a certified clinical trauma professional, she brings experience counseling children with trauma and, for the past two years, has concentrated her practice on women’s mental health. She also brings specific knowledge of religious trauma and how belief systems can influence recovery and identity. Her doctoral certificate training in qualitative research informs a thoughtful, curious approach to complex questions about gender roles, family patterns, and cultural influences.

Angela pays close attention to the underlying roots of dysfunctional coping - often traced to family messaging, cultural expectations, or past abuse - and supports clients in developing new skills rooted in self-compassion. She uses a person-centered and eclectic framework, blending evidence-informed techniques to fit each individual. Her work emphasizes building relational skills, including learning how to relate compassionately to one’s own inner life, so clients can move toward healthier connections with themselves and others.
