Joanna Candanedo

As a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over five years of experience, I provide thoughtful, individualized support to adults & children from diverse backgrounds. My work is grounded in a mind-body approach that incorporates mindfulness & somatic practices to help clients better understand their emotions, physical responses, & the experiences that shape them. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, & life transitions by helping them recognize patterns & triggers, deepen self-awareness, & develop a stronger connection with themselves.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, & grounded in the belief that healing is both a mental & physical experience. I integrate mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral, strengths-based, & somatic approaches to help clients better understand their emotions, recognize patterns, & connect more deeply with themselves. I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can slow down, feel heard, & explore your experiences without judgment. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, I tailor our work to your needs & support you in building greater self-awareness, resilience, & lasting change.

You can expect a supportive, collaborative, & nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, & understood. I’ll meet you where you are, listen with curiosity, & work alongside you to identify goals that feel meaningful & attainable. Together, we’ll explore emotions, relationships, stress, & patterns that may be impacting your well-being while building practical tools to help you navigate life with greater confidence & self-awareness. My goal is to support you in feeling more connected to yourself, empowered in your choices, & equipped to create meaningful change.
