Kym Andrews-Cardoza

Therapist

Virtual • California


Finding a therapist can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re already carrying a lot. My goal is to offer a space where you can take a breath, feel understood, and not have to explain or justify what you’re going through. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with individuals and couples navigating stress, relationship challenges, emotional overwhelm, and just life in general. Many of the people I work with are caring, capable, and thoughtful—yet sometimes feel misunderstood and drained by all of their responsibilities, oftentimes putting their own needs last. I can help guide you as you sort things out and move towards finding more peace and joy in your life.

Therapist

Life is ever-evolving, and sometimes we need a partner to help us navigate its changing tides. Together, we will focus on building your resilience and capacity for whatever comes next. Our work is practical and action-oriented; we'll identify tangible coping skills you can apply to your daily life, while working to shift negative self-talk into a more supportive mindset. I believe the best work happens in an environment of trust, which is why I always welcome feedback and invite a spirit of shared accountability in our sessions.

What I enjoy most about being a clinic Psychologist is helping people better understand themselves and make meaningful changes in their lives. I value listening to patients experiences, identifying patterns in thought and behaviors, and working together to develop healthier ways of coping and relating to others.
