About This Business

Angela Amias is a licensed psychotherapist and an internationally recognized expert on trauma and relationships. As the Director of Clinical Education for the Institute for Trauma Informed Relationships, she provides certification in trauma-informed relationships for therapists, coaches, and other helping professionals. In 2020, she co-founded Alchemy of Love with Dr. Daniel Boscaljon, offering resources, support, and education on relationships and the impact of trauma. Their articles, podcast, classes, and Five Relationship Archetypes have gained a worldwide audience of individuals and couples. Angela is also the author of 'Ask Angela: Relationship Advice for Love After Trauma.' Her work focuses on providing relationship advice, training, and certification for therapists and coaches, as well as writing, art, and practices for deep self-discovery. Angela's approach emphasizes the importance of trauma-informed care, recognizing that painful childhood experiences can exert a powerful influence on adult intimate relationships. She developed the Trauma Informed Relationship Counseling for Individuals and Couples model to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research on relational trauma and traditional models for relationship therapy. This approach goes beyond addressing Big T Traumas, such as those resulting in PTSD or C-PTSD, to understanding the impact of small t traumas from childhood on adult relationships. By acknowledging and addressing these unhealed relationship wounds, Angela aims to help individuals and couples foster growth, deepen connections, and build better relationships. Her expertise and resources have made her a trusted voice in the field of trauma-informed relationships, and her work continues to support and educate helping professionals, individuals, and couples worldwide.
