Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, AMFT
Verified
So happy to see you here. Hi, I am Candida. I have lived in San Diego since 2013 after moving from my enchanted home state of New Mexico. For me, life is one big, beautiful journey. After losing my parents a year apart from each other in my early 20’s, I became my younger sister’s legal caregiver. My sister is My Greatest Teacher in unconditional love, the true meaning of beauty and a deep understanding of the value of simplicity and connection. I believe in the power of self-care through meditation, dance, a good workout, music, reading/learning, cooking, exploring the outdoors and connecting with the earth.

Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT

Because therapy is such a personal process, I believe that the most important element in choosing someone is the degree of fit between you and your therapist. My training at Northwestern (grad and post-grad) emphasized that we must approach each client with a customized toolkit of interventions and styles to unlock their unique needs for change. I have been practicing for fifteen years, which brings a level of experience, balanced with a sense of ease. I am licensed in both California and Illinois.

“You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.” - Jon Kabat-Zinn - Raise your hand if the past year and a half has felt a little like being pummeled by waves at the beach. Every time you come up for a breath of fresh air, try to find solid footing, or return to the safety of the shore, another wave crashes in overhead. With every news release, change to safety update, new policies at work, or yet another adjustment in your home life, there have been mounting pressures to tamp down our emotions and just get back to the status quo.

Sometimes life stressors become more challenging than you can handle on your own and you might need extra support to work through these difficult times. When issues and conflicts are left unresolved, they lead you to feeling overwhelmed and spiral into a state of crisis. Mental health counseling empowers you to view yourself from a perspective that is more open to positive changes. The goal of therapy is to facilitate healthy communication and improve the relationships and functioning of the individual.

Lily Munavu
Psychologist, PhD

I enjoy working collaboratively with my clients, helping each to develop the specific and unique tools necessary to cultivate a more satisfying and fulfilling life. My approach is to first actively listen, gaining a thorough understanding of the history of the situation and symptoms, the presenting challenges, and any other influences such as family history, cultural or racial factors, chronic illness, and economic stressors. We will then work together to identify treatment goals and ways to reach them. I work with a broad spectrum of clients ranging in age from 16 and above, offering individual, couples, and family therapy.
Jan Covyeau
Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, MA
Do you find the relationships in your life lacking true connection? When our primary relationships feel disconnected, life can seem out of balance. Sometimes all we need is a little help in understanding how to move forward in new ways. I use an individualized approach to gain an understanding of how communication patterns, blocks and self-defeating behaviors began.

Miranda @ Mental Wealth Counseling
Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, AMFT
Verified
Hey you! My name is Miranda. Like many, I came to the world of therapy through my own healing journey. I view mental health and resilience as deeply intertwined with social justice — both because injustice creates trauma, and because our determination to heal can elevate both ourselves and our larger communities. In my spare time, I love doting on my two senior kitties, crafting and baking, and living up to stereotypes about “woo-woo” Californians. I am most effective with clients who are recovering from trauma and abuse, including from the effects of childhood events and societal oppression.

Sari J Mendelsohn
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
I love working with children and adolescents. Before I get a history from you, I like to meet with your teenager to let them feel like they have a choice in picking their therapist. This gives them a sense of control and they are then more committed to the therapy. I will integrate the family as necessary. I have extensive success with children of divorce, those experiencing anxiety, depression, low self esteem and difficulty managing anger. I also connect well with adults and young adults dealing with life transitions.
