Angela Barbello
Angela believes that understanding what is wrong is only valuable if you can translate that understanding into how you actually live.
For more than 15 years, Angela has worked one-on-one with adults navigating ADHD, executive-functioning challenges, emotional dysregulation, bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder—as well as career pressure, relationships, physical wellbeing and major life transitions.
Before becoming a coach, Angela spent nearly a decade in demanding sales and business-development roles, managing multimillion-dollar accounts, relationships and competing priorities. That experience gives her a firsthand understanding of the pressures faced by high-functioning professionals—and the difference between knowing what needs to happen and actually making it happen.
Her approach is unusually hands-on. Angela looks beyond the presenting problem to understand what is happening across a client’s life—how they spend their days, manage their time, care for themselves, navigate relationships, respond to stress and follow through on what they know they need to do.
Then she helps connect the dots.
Sometimes that means creating structure and accountability. Sometimes it means recognizing a pattern the client hasn’t seen. And sometimes it means identifying when another level of expertise is needed and connecting the client with a trusted therapist, psychiatrist, physician or other specialist.
Angela is direct, practical and deeply invested, but her role isn’t to tell clients how to live their lives. It’s to help them see the landscape more clearly, give them the tools to navigate it and build the skills to do it for themselves.
Because hard things happen.
But everyday life shouldn’t have to feel so hard.
Based in California, Angela works privately with clients across the United States and internationally, both virtually and in person.
