Angela R. Wurtzel, MA, LMFT, CEDS-C, PMH-C

I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from UCLA (1990) and a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University (1994). I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (#33686) with the State of California (1996).

I am a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist and Approved Consultant (CEDS-C) with the International Association for Eating Disorder Professionals, which involves extensive training, education, and experience in the treatment of eating disorder treatment. In addition, this supervisor designation allows me to supervise other clinicians seeking certification as an eating disorder specialist.

Through Postpartum Support International, I am a Perinatal Mental Health Certified Psychotherapist. This designation indicates my commitment to working with people during the perinatal period, ongoing study, exams, and consultation with colleagues.

I am dedicated to studying psychoanalysis to provide my patients with solid and valuable psychodynamic psychotherapy. I have been involved in continuing education through various psychoanalytic institutes throughout my career.

I have completed the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies two-year certification in psychoanalysis, the International Psychotherapy Institute’s one-year Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Consultation Program, and the Los Angeles Institute for Psychoanalytic Study Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Certification Program.

My approach requires an appreciation of the brain and the body, and I completed Antioch University’s 30-hour Somatic Psychotherapy Certification Program.

I am a California Association of Marriage and Family Therapist-approved Continuing Education Provider (#29074). I offer continuing education units in my consultation groups and my online workshops. (CEPA)
