Angela Saidybah, MSW, LICSW, is a licensed clinical social worker, Pan-Africanist, and entrepreneur. Having earned her master’s degree in social work from the University of Washington in 2018, Angela has provided professional behavioral health services in a variety of community-based settings. She has experience with engaging child welfare-involved families through in-home counseling support and working as a crisis clinician to support youth experiencing emotional disturbance. Angela currently works in oncology/hematology, offering behavioral health support to adults living with cancer and chronic illnesses, including sickle cell disease.

As a clinician, Angela fuses classic therapy modalities (Cognitive-behavioral therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness) with holistic health practices (meditation, yoga, and whole foods) to treat the mind, body, and spirit of individuals. As a Pan-Africanist, she values economic sovereignty and mental wellness for all Black people, as she believes this to be the cornerstone of Black liberation. Angela has a penchant for African design and travel, which inspired her to create the Adeshe Brand African clothing and accessory line. She travels throughout East and West Africa, collaborating with African designers and craftspeople to bring Mama Africa to her Pacific Northwest community.
