Joanna Candanedo

I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over five years of experience providing therapeutic support to adults and children from diverse backgrounds. I often incorporate mindfulness into my work, helping clients explore the connection between mind and body to better understand their emotions and physical responses. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma by helping them identify their triggers and recognize how emotions can be stored within the body.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I focus on creating a safe, open-minded environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts and emotions without judgment. I incorporate mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and strengths-based practices to support clients in building insight and resilience. Whether we’re working through anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, I meet clients where they are and move at a pace that feels right for them.

Through our work together, my goal is to help you deepen your self-awareness, manage stress and emotions more effectively, and feel more equipped to navigate life’s challenges. I take a collaborative approach to therapy, working with you to set goals that feel meaningful—whether that involves improving relationships, processing emotions, or building healthier coping skills. I offer a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood, respected, and empowered in your healing journey.
