Who is Dr. Angela Horng?

Dr. Angela Horng is a 2nd generation Taiwanese American who grew up in the South Bay Area with an older brother and immigrant parents. She experienced an intense ‘Bay Area’ upbringing, giving her a unique understanding of the mental health impacts of high-pressure and high-achieving communities.

She has a depth of lived experience to draw from, including being a competitive youth athlete, navigating cultural and familial pressures to be a high-achiever, surviving her own experiences with depression and anxiety, and navigating grief and starting over after divorce. Through it all, Angela has learned to develop a robust sense of self in the face of ‘failure’, which has been unspeakably rewarding.

As a human, she describes herself as a free spirit who loves animals (she has two 14-year-old tortoiseshell cats named Ariadne and Persephone, and a 12-year-old Golden Retriever named Orpheo), nature, cooking (Asian food ftw), and travel. She has been to countless countries, and has lived in Norcal, Socal, Tucson, AZ, New Orleans, LA, and most recently, Brooklyn, New York.

Whether it is in individual therapy, supervision, or a coaching capacity, Dr. Horng is very happy to meet you where you are to help you find your most authentic self. She will help you develop the tools to live a powerful and fulfilling life, despite how overwhelming the world can be today. Dr. Horng is here to believe in you until you learn how to believe in yourself!

Dr. Horng is a natural nurturer, which shows in her love for plants and animals.

She loves to take care of living things. Her reward is watching them grow & thrive.

Can’t forget about the cats!
