Getting to know Corey Candelas

Cory is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. She holds a Master's in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University and a Bachelor's degree from the University of Southern California. She has been married for 23 years and has a son who recently began his first year of college. Cory is also an adjunct professor at California Baptist University in the Behavioral Science Department. She has an emphasis in trauma work and was trained through EMDRIA in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). Often, clients come to her feeling numb, stuck, or reacting to situations in ways they do not fully understand. Many experiences shape us in ways we are not aware of, and those maladaptive memory networks can sabotage or derail us, even though they were originally formed as a means of protection. Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) through EMDR can reduce the disturbance in our bodies and eliminate these maladaptive memory networks, helping to bring balance and joy back into your life. When working with couples, Cory helps them listen to understand each other, rather than listening to refute or rebut what their partner is saying. Everyone has a desire to be understood and cared for. She carefully considers how attachment was formed for both partners growing up and works with each of them to provide insight not only about their partner but also about themselves, so they can better articulate and meet each other's needs.
