Angela L. Crawford PhD

Angela L. Crawford, PhD, is passionate about bringing her psychology expertise to empower people toward holistic health, wellness, purpose, and compassionate living. She adopted a vegetarian lifestyle in 2007, for ethical reasons, and soon discovered the physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits of plant-based living. She became vegan in 2019, as she more fully realized the interconnectedness between our food choices and the well-being of humans, animals, and the planet.

She holds a doctorate in Clinical Psychology, and worked as a psychotherapist for 25 years, empowering clients to make lifestyle changes for holistic well-being. She holds certifications in Plant-Based Nutrition (T. Colin Campbell Institute for Nutrition Studies at eCornell), as a Master Vegan Lifestyle Coach and Educator (Main Street Vegan Academy), licensed Food for Life Instructor (Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine), and Transformational Coach (Institute for Women-Centered Coaching).

As a Vegan Educator, she offers resources that empower people to transition to and thrive with a plant-based lifestyle. She offers courses, speaks at Veg Fests and conferences, writes a blog, and has written guest articles for various publications. Her areas of interest and expertise include thriving emotionally with a vegan lifestyle, overcoming barriers to healthy lifestyle change, the food-mood connection, awakening compassion, healthy communication, and mind-body-spirit flourishing.

Dr. Crawford is passionate about the power of personal transformation to create a more fulfilling, healthy, and purposeful life - and a kinder, more sustainable world. She is author of "The Vegan Transformation: A Journey to Heal Yourself and the World," winner of the Outstanding Creators Award and The Vegan Choice Award.
