Therapists of Color Mentorship Committee |
The LA-CAMFT Therapists of Color Mentorship Committee exists to to both manage and promote the Therapists of Color Mentorship program. That program helps address inequities experienced by professional mental health therapists of color and intersects with other historically marginalized groups. The first of its kind amongst CAMFT chapters, LA-CAMFT is committed to ensuring quality mentorship for therapists of color by therapists of color. The mentorship program is intended to help bridge the gap by identifying and creating opportunities for growth and advancement in the field, guide clinicians across various stages of professional development, increase accessibility and sustainability in the field, and assist therapists of color to confidently provide services from their culturally authentic self.

Margareth Gomez, LMFT (she/her/ella) 
Angela L. Mull, LMFT (she/her) is a Mid-West native, moved to California in 1990 seeking a fresh start. This new journey led Angela to pursue further education, earning a Master of Arts degree from Argosy University. During her time at Argosy, she developed a special interest in Family Systems and Trauma Therapy. Angela is passionate about helping individuals and families break intergenerational cycles of trauma, rooted in her own personal experiences. Her work in these areas began in 2011 at South Bay Center for Counseling. There, she worked closely with DCFS, providing in-home counseling for new parents. Angela also had the opportunity to work within the CDCR facilities, providing group therapy to individuals aged 50 and older serving life sentences. In 2018, Angela started her private practice, Creating Beautiful Minds Family Therapy Inc., specializing in anxiety and depression. She offers therapy to adolescents, adults, and families dealing with significant life transitions such as grief and loss, complex trauma, puberty, and parenting. Angela wanted to offer more than traditional “talk therapy” so she received training in EMDR and TFCBT. Angela extends her skills beyond the office, facilitating groups in high schools and collaborating with several non-profit organizations: Biddy Mason (Foster Youth), Minority Aids Project L.A., and DMH Faith Based Advocacy Council. One of Angela’s favorite quotes is from Audre Lorde. "...and that visibility which makes us most vulnerable is that which also is the source of our greatest strength."
