Hey there,
I’m Angelic Schmidt!
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and the founder of Begin From Within Counseling, PLLC. I support women navigating the hard stuff like anxiety, burnout, breaking generational trauma cycles, people-pleasing, and the constant feeling that you've lost yourself somewhere along the way.
If you're here, you're probably exhausted from holding it all together. I'm here to help you finally put some of that weight down.
You can't break generational cycles, find your voice, or reclaim your power by looking outside yourself. The work starts inside. The light you're searching for? It's already there. You just need the space to begin from within.
This is therapy that's real, raw, and grounded in authentic connection. Deep work with a therapist who sees you, holds space for you, and walks alongside you as you do the challenging, yet essential work of finding your way back to yourself.
I'm person-centered and relational at my core, drawing from evidence-based approaches including Internal Family Systems (IFS-informed), narrative therapy, Adlerian theory, and strengths-based work. I tailor my approach to fit what you need, not what a manual says you should need.
I bring warmth, genuine compassion, humor, and accountability. I'll meet you where you are and lovingly challenge you when you're stuck. I believe healing happens in relationship, so I show up as a whole person: present, real, and genuinely invested in your growth.

You'll find me with a book in one hand and snacks in the other. I love getting lost in cozy Nintendo Switch games, comfort movies/shows, and snuggling my favorite people and pets. I also paint and draw when I need to unwind and create something with my hands.
