Hi. My name is Angelique. I am a mental health advocate and the founder of T.A.I Nation.
Thank you for choosing to click on my website.
This is my story…
I have battled and overcome addictions, emotional abuse, cutting, an eating disorder and abandonment issues. I too know what it feels like to be in a room filled with people yet feel alone. To be misunderstood. Knowing that you are loved but for some reason not seen or heard. My mother died when I was 3 and then my father when I was 11. I am from an upper middle class family where mental issues were deemed as taboo and therefore not faced or dealt with, hence I suffered in silence. I learned from a young age to internalize because even though people were there, there was no space to speak. Eventually my compounded trauma manifested in my late twenties and I was diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety.
Family and friends thought I was strong, however, I was emotionally exhausted and losing my will to fight… and live. As my depression deepened I started believing that my pain would never end, no one would miss me, it would be simpler if I was no longer here; so I became suicidal.
Fortunately, through therapy I learnt multiple coping mechanisms and faced my fears. The healing began and I started to experience real hope.
My journey led me to realize purpose in helping others through my real-life experiences.
My approach is as an empath not theory oriented. I am someone who through compassion is understanding, listens without judgement, and even if I haven’t been on your path, I can usually relate to it.
I am a listener, not a therapist- and sometimes that is exactly what someone needs.
A genuine ear, a kind voice, and a reminder that they are not alone in what they are facing.
My work is rooted in empathy, community, and the belief that every individual deserves to be valued.
As a compassionate mental health enthusiast and advocate, my mission is to create spaces where open, honest conversations are not only welcomed- but normalized.
DISCLAIMER: My approach is empathic / experience oriented, not theory oriented. I am not a psychotherapist and my services should not serve as a replacement for therapy sessions.
