I aim to extend professional therapy services to those grappling with life transitions, relationship difficulties, and emotional wellness.

WELCOME. Thank you for visiting my website. I appreciate how challenging it is to find a suitable and skilled therapist, and receive the support you need. These pages explain my approach and how we might begin to work together.
I’m Angela Maeda, a psychotherapist in private practice on the Eastside of Seattle in Bothell, Washington. I offer therapy for individuals struggling with life transitions, relationship difficulties and problematic emotions.
People who come to see me often feel overwhelmed, stuck or tired of feeling anxious and depressed. Others have a specific issue they are struggling with and desire clarity and guidance. I provide a safe and compassionate place for you to explore, heal and transform your life.
To make your journey with me as seamless as possible, I offer an easy and secure Online Payment system. Experience swift transactions, and redirect the energy saved towards your healing and recovery journey at New Leaf Counseling.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP)
For as long as I can remember, I have sought out harmony, connection and meaning. My curiosity of people and personalities, and desire for deeper intimacy pulled me into the intersecting spheres of psychology, philosophy and spirituality. These wells of interest developed into a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology at the University of Washington and a Masters of Counseling degree at The Seattle School of Psychology and Theology.
Presently, I continue to work with individuals of different cultures, religious or non-religious, who grapple with life issues, grief, trauma and recovery, and relationship difficulties. I take great personal joy and fulfillment in each person with whom I have the honor of unraveling life’s challenges together.
We are all on different points on the journey to knowing ourselves better. While my ultimate aim is to join you in discovering your unique purpose and true freedom, I draw upon several psychological modalities to help you with your current difficulties.

Psychotherapy is both a science and an art. Research shows that modalities and theories do not significantly differ in their effectiveness for change. What this proves is that a considerable part of the therapeutic process is the transformation that occurs in being in a safe and loving relationship.
A skilled therapist will reflect back to you who you truly are (most of us do not have “clean mirrors” in our lives, nor such honesty in relationship) to help you understand your impact on others and the ripple effects that may occur in your way of relating. This way of relating typically creates a pattern in our lives that may cause unnecessary suffering and pain, loneliness and emptiness in our relationships.
A good therapist will also help you to heal old wounds and false beliefs about yourself and the world in the context of the therapeutic relationship. In this safe place, you can explore and experience a healthy and unconditional relationship.
I aspire to empower every person I work with and bolster their resilience. I hope for a world where everyone can readily access mental health resources. Compassion, understanding and transformation are at the heart of each session— I am committed to this course.
My calling is to guide you gracefully through life’s myriad complexities and transitions. Through my variety of therapeutic services, I provide the safe space you need for introspection and personal growth. I’m a firm believer that everyone is entitled to good mental health and my goal is to deliver personalized, empathetic support. I am here to help you progress, one healing step at a time.
