Angela Mull, LMFT - Life is Always in Session: Transforming your deepest vulnerability into your greatest strength.

Angela Mull is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of Creating Beautiful Minds Family Therapy where she is dedicated to helping individuals and families heal and build healthier relationship patterns.

At Creating Beautiful Minds Family Therapy Inc., Angela Mull embraces the profound wisdom of Audre Lorde: “…and that visibility which makes us most vulnerable is that which also is the source of our greatest strength.” Angela understands that the first step into therapy can feel deeply personal and vulnerable, yet she specializes in guiding individuals to see that their vulnerability is the key to unlocking their inner superpowers. By fostering a safe, supportive environment, she helps clients navigate the complexities of life, ensuring they realize that their struggles are not a reflection of weakness, but a bridge to transformation.

Her work centers on breaking intergenerational cycles of trauma, a mission deeply informed by her own lived experiences and personal journey.

Before transitioning into the field of mental health, Angela spent 20 years working in civil service while raising her family. Her path to becoming a therapist emerged during a meaningful second chapter in life.

Following divorce and as her children prepared to leave for college, Angela took time to reflect on her strengths, qualities others had long recognized in her: being a gifted listener, a thoughtful problem solver and strong advocate who maintains healthy boundaries.

Realizing these abilities were well suited for the therapeutic profession, she returned to school with a renewed purpose, eager to use her life wisdom, knowledge and experience to support others navigating their own transitions.

In her private practice, Angela works with individuals, couples and families seeking healthier dynamics and deeper emotional understanding. Her approach is grounded in systems theory and attachment informed work, drawing from an evidence based and flexible blend of therapeutic modalities. She places strong emphasis on collaboration, tailoring treatment to each client’s unique goals while helping them develop insight, resilience and healthier patterns of connection.

Angela first learned of CAMFT through her Clinical Supervisor who encouraged students and trainees to become involved to familiarize themselves with the therapist community, pursue ongoing professional development and expand networking opportunities.

Inspired by that guidance Angela became an actively engaged member of LA-CAMT.

In 2020, amid the global health crisis and heightened racial tensions, Angela joined the LA-CAMFT Black Therapist Support Group. This community provided a vital and safe space where she could connect with fellow clinicians facing similar professional and personal challenges, further strengthening her commitment to culturally responsive care and collective healing.

Motivated to give back, Angela served as a Therapist of Color Mentor for four cohorts, guiding pre-licensed therapists through the early stages of their careers. She later joined the Therapist of Color Committee continuing her dedication to mentorship and to supporting the next generation of clinicians.

As a leader, Angela strongly encourages therapists at all levels--trainees, newly licensed and seasoned professionals to engage with CAMFT. She values the organization’s diversity, rich variety of programs and perspectives, opportunities for education and continuous professional development, and the ability to build meaningful professional networks. Angela also emphasizes the importance of service through volunteering, teaching, and lifelong learning as essential pathways to growing as leaders in the field.
