Sometimes life robs us of our light. It can happen gradually or suddenly. We might not even know why the light is gone, only that it’s not there anymore. My goal is to enable you to search for and take hold of that light. I work primarily with depression and anxiety as well as spirituality, processing trauma, and family dynamics. I specialize in adolescents and young adults transitioning into new life stages, and adults of all ages who feel stuck in life.

I specialize in working with clients dealing with trauma, PTSD, anxiety and grief, as well as neurodivergence, LGBTQ+ issues, non-monogamy, non-traditional lifestyles, and spirituality.
Have you found yourself feeling pressed under the weight of stress, exhaustion, or despair? Do you wonder if there's light at the end of this tunnel? Whether you're dealing with the effects of trauma, grief, emotional challenges, difficulty relating to others, or the heaviness of significant life changes, we can work together to provide you with the support you need. There is a way. It's understandable to feel apprehensive about seeking help, so I’m proud of you for making it this far already. You deserve to live a beautiful, joyful life and I believe that it is available to you. But the first step takes courage.

While my work spans general therapy topics, my specializations include working with clients who struggle with grief and loss, clients who are exploring their identity (pushing past fear to discover, accept, and be yourself), and clients who would like to address spirituality as a strength or a struggle in their lives.
Life can present varying challenges and transitions. It takes courage and is a sign of wellness to seek support during these times. My name is Dr. Awa Jangha and I would be honored to work with you- walking with you on your path towards insight, reflection, exploration of your narrative, self-understanding, and emotional healing. As a counselor trained in art therapy and spiritual integration I am able to incorporate art and/or spirituality into counseling and value your ability to choose whether you would like to include either one in our work together or engage solely in talk therapy.

Discovering the Wisdom Within: Cultivating consciousness and tuning into presence-- I integrate spirituality into psychotherapy. These two pathways to healing are intimately connected, both offering important and necessary tools for deep healing and awakening. Psychotherapy employs tested processes to understand personality traits, events that create disturbance in our lives, and patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. Spirituality offers us the ability to encourage loving kindness with all that we are. It teaches us to nurture and develop the inner observer, present moment awareness, non-judgment, and heart-centered thinking. Cultivating intimacy with all that we are--light and dark, high and low, superficial and deep.

Conscious Grace is about finding a way to let go of the striving and the pressure and to build an identity and spirituality that is aligned with your honest feelings, thoughts and experiences.
At Conscious Grace Therapy, I work with clients to explore their relationship to self and to develop a life that is a more authentic expression of who they are and how they actually experience the world. My clients often identify feeling so overwhelmed by expectations, responsibilities and challenging experiences that being honest with what they feel, need, desire or experience is often not a realistic option. Instead, they live in the tension of striving to be the person they need to be or are supposed to be.

I embrace spirituality and am very comfortable discussing dreams, religious beliefs, paranormal experiences, spiritual breakthroughs, psychedelic experiences, etc.
Tired of reading Psychology Today profiles? Feel like therapy doesn't "work" for you? We may be a good fit. Therapy is more than just what happens in a therapy session. Therapy is a state of being; a mindset of flexibility, curiosity, and empowerment. Therapy is the noble task of courageously moving toward difficult feelings instead of avoiding them, a process of undoing shame and fear that have held you back from knowing yourself. My style is relaxed and natural, not forced or artificial. I want to understand who you really are, on your terms.

I utilize a unique combination of spirituality and psychotherapy as it relates to one's personal growth.
I have helped couples for 30 years to transform their relationship using Imago Relationship Therapy. I teach couples a communication skill set that foster emotional maturity and respect. This changes relationships. Being in relationship can be challenging during the second stage of relationship when the newness recedes and irritations begins. The Imago model increases consciousness and healing around the origins of conflict. This awareness empowers couples in their ability to change so they are no longer victims to dysfunctional patterns. I incorporate a psycho-spiritual approach in my Imago work as well as individual counseling.

What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?
Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.
What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?
There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.
Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?
Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.
How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?
Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
