Angela Shankman (she/her) is a LCSW and Mental Health Therapist in private practice in Los Angeles, California. She is trained in Compassionate Inquiry and IFS, and specializes in treating trauma, addiction, and providing LGBTQIA+ affirmative care. Prior to private practice, Angela worked with both teens and adults on probation in both probation facilities and community based re-entry programs. Seeing that these programs reinforce mass incarceration in their own ways, Angela wanted to find a more compassionate and trauma informed way to support those navigating the legal system. Angela is thrilled to be working with CPP and is deeply connected to CPP’s mission to bring trauma awareness and healing into prisons.
