My name is Sandra Kushnir and I am Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I always knew my purpose in life was to one day create a program that helps others, de-stigmatizes mental health, and guides others towards living a full and authentic life. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from the University of Utah prior to completing my Masters of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy at California State University, Northridge.
On top of my masters, I completed additional training and experience which has allowed me to specialize in working with clients and families affected by addiction. I created Meridian Counseling to be a safe space for clients-whether they're struggling to define their identity, unsure about their career goals and direction in life, going through relationship issues, or being held back by debilitating problems with their mental health.

Young Professionals
Report
Finding your way through life can feel confusing or overwhelming. Together we will explore the direction you want to take in your life, relationships and career. A common theme for many millennials is uncertainty about what direction they want to take in life. Transitioning into adulthood can be difficult, especially if you are unsure of what path you want to take in your career, relationships and personal life.
Addiction
Report
Addiction touches all of our lives in some way. Whether it directly affects you or a loved one, know you are not alone. Counseling can help you learn healthy coping skills, explore unresolved trauma and begin transforming your life. Often individuals turn to unhealthy outlets such as drinking, smoking, shopping or even sex as ways of coping with unresolved trauma and pain.
Couples Therapy
Report
Intimate relationships are one of the most important and defining parts of our lives. Learning to understand each other, empathize and communicate is vital to any successful relationship. In therapy, we will work on learning new ways of relating to your partner with compassion, love and respect. Couples often come to therapy seeking help because everything else they have tried has not worked.
IVF Assessments and Therapy
Report
Going through infertility (IVF) can be painful and traumatic. It can leave you feeling confused and angry at your body and impact your relationship with your partner. We understand the complex grief process that comes with this type of experience. Our team of therapist is here to help you process and make meaning of this emotional roller coaster ride-helping both you and your partner move forward in a healthier way.
Family Therapy
Report
Our family defines who we are, how we view the world and teaches us how to relate to others. Often times families can get stuck in unhealthy patterns and conflict is inevitable. In therapy, we will allow each family member to have a voice, feel heard and create new ways of relating to each other. Your therapist may ask the family to come in for therapy.
