Meet Angelica, M.A., Registered Psychotherapist (Independent Practice) #12190
Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, or patterns that seem difficult to break? Angelica provides compassionate therapy for teens and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, substance use, life transitions, and emotional challenges. As a therapist, she offers a warm, collaborative approach where clients can feel understood, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change.
Angelica's philosophy is that therapy begins with understanding the why behind what we do. Rather than focusing only on changing behaviours or managing symptoms, she helps clients explore the experiences, emotions, and patterns that have shaped the way they relate to themselves and the world around them.
Her approach is grounded in curiosity and collaboration. Angelica works with clients to understand what their struggles may be communicating, uncover the needs that may have gone unmet, and develop healthier ways of coping that feel sustainable beyond the therapy room. She believes meaningful change happens when people feel genuinely understood — not judged or defined by the challenges they are facing.
Angelica has a particular passion for supporting individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, substance use, and behavioural addictions. She recognizes that these challenges are often more complex than what is visible on the surface. Whether someone is using substances to cope with painful emotions, feeling stuck in patterns they cannot seem to break, or struggling to reconnect with themselves and others, Angelica helps clients slow things down, develop insight, and create a path forward that aligns with who they want to become.
Clients working with Angelica can expect a space that is both compassionate and honest — one where they can explore difficult experiences, challenge old patterns, and build a stronger understanding of themselves. At the core of Angelica’s work is the belief that people are not defined by their struggles. With the right support, self-awareness, and tools, individuals can create meaningful change and build a life that feels more connected, balanced, and authentic.
Angelica holds a Master's in Counseling Psychology from the University of Ottawa and is a Registered Psychotherapist with the CRPO. She is committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their struggles, gain insights, and work towards lasting personal growth.

FAQ
Is Angelica Kibets accepting new clients?
Yes. Angelica is currently accepting new clients for in-person therapy in Kanata and Stittsville, as well as virtual therapy across Ontario. Availability may change, so we recommend booking a consultation or contacting our team to find an appointment that fits your schedule.
Does Angelica have an area of specialty?
Yes. While Angelica works with a wide range of concerns, she has a particular passion for supporting individuals experiencing substance use concerns and behavioural addictions. Before joining Aura Counselling, she worked at Rideauwood Addiction and Family Services, where she supported individuals navigating substance use, recovery, and the complex emotional challenges that often accompany addiction.
Angelica understands that addiction is rarely just about the behaviour itself. It is often connected to underlying experiences such as trauma, anxiety, stress, grief, or difficulties with emotional regulation. She provides a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients can explore the root causes of their struggles, strengthen coping strategies, and work toward meaningful, sustainable change at a pace that feels right for them.
Whether you're questioning your relationship with substances or behaviours, actively pursuing recovery, or supporting a loved one through addiction, Angelica offers evidence-based care grounded in empathy, collaboration, and hope.
