About LIL
A Note from Our Founder,
Angelyce Serrano
I became a therapist because I believe in the transformative power of being truly seen. My practice is an extension of that belief, a place where clinical excellence meets compassionate presence, and where the therapeutic relationship itself becomes a source of healing. Thank you for trusting me with something so sacred.
Who We Serve
Living in Love Psychotherapy is a space designed with intention for adults who are ready to do the inner work: those moving through anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship wounds, and the weight of living in a world that wasn't always built with you in mind. Whether you're in a season of crisis or a season of growth, there is a place for you here.
What We Believe
Healing is not a straight line, and it is not one-size-fits-all. At LIL, we work with the whole person: mind, body, spirit, and story. Our approach draws from evidence-based modalities woven together with cultural humility and deep respect for your lived experience. We believe that the body holds wisdom, that your history does not define your future, and that love in its fullest sense is both the medicine and the destination.
Our Story
Living in Love Psychotherapy began with a search.
Years ago, I went looking for a therapist who looked like my people, who understood my communities, who could hold the fullness of where I came from without needing it explained. I could not find her. And in that absence, a question began to take shape: what would it look like to build the kind of space I had been searching for? What would it mean to offer to others what I had needed so deeply for myself?
LIL is the answer to that question.
I grew up understanding that love is not only a feeling. It is a practice. Love is the food cooked slow on a Sunday, seasoned with memory and made to feed more than just bodies. It is the rhythm of dance, the way our shoulders know songs our minds have forgotten. It is the quiet ceremony of doing each other's hair, hands moving through coils and curls while stories pass between us. It is holding emotional space for one another when the world has been heavy, when there are no words, when presence is the only offering that matters.
Love is advocacy. The fierce and ongoing work of protecting our right to love one another out loud, in our chosen partnerships, in our chosen families, in our chosen lives. Love is the act of cleaning as care, tending to our collective spaces because they hold us and we honor what holds us. Love is the accommodation made without question, the chair pulled closer, the pace adjusted, the language softened or signed or spoken differently so that everyone can be in the room together. Love is the room we make for mistakes, for tears, for the messy and beautiful work of becoming, whether in our careers, our learning, or our healing.
This is the love I was raised by. This is the love that built me. And this is the love that built LIL.
Our Mission
Living in Love Psychotherapy exists to offer affirming, holistic, and somatic care to the folx who have too often been overlooked, talked around, or asked to shrink themselves to fit into rooms that were never built for them. We are here to provide therapy that honors the whole person, body, spirit, history, and all, and that treats culture not as a footnote but as a foundation.
Our mission is to make the healing room feel like home. A place where you do not have to translate yourself. A place where your joys are celebrated and your grief is witnessed. A place where the love you were taught by your people is recognized as the wisdom it has always been.
We believe everyone deserves access to a therapist who sees them clearly and loves them well. LIL is our offering toward that world.
