Chanda Kizer, LMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there, I'm Chanda! My name is Candi Kizer, MA, LMFT, and I hold a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from National University. My BBS license number is 140196. My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that clients already have the answers they need; they just need guidance and support to identify them. My approach I focus on creating a safe space where individuals can discover their true selves, build resilience, and navigate their futures in healthy and optimistic ways. As a person-centered therapist, I utilize CBT, DBT, solution-focused therapy, Support Therapy, and other approaches to help my clients find peace and emotional stability. My focus I specialize in couples therapy, individual therapy, and supporting people through life transitions and family disruptions. I work with clients from diverse cultures and backgrounds, addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, identity development, transitional life challenges (aging, separation, divorce, empty nest), LGBTQIA+ concerns, and anger management. My communication style I am easy to work with and maintain a collaborative communication style. I foster a sense of safety and trust, focusing on my clients' strengths to empower and engage them in their therapy. My life experiences and training allow me to relate to and empathize with just about everyone. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist after the tragic loss of my husband. The care, wisdom, and understanding of my own therapist saved my life and inspired me to offer the same support to others. I am driven by a deep understanding of how painful life can be and a desire to help people move through their pain and sadness. My goals for you I work collaboratively with my clients to set therapy goals. I ask what they want to focus on and develop a plan together. My first session with you Clients can expect a relaxed meeting where I introduce myself and share the type of therapist I am.
