Center for Fresh Start to Positive Change (CFSPC) is owned and operated by Dr. Kandalena Ary, who holds an Ed.D. doctorate in Counseling Psychology and a second Ph.D. doctorate in Public Policy Administration, focusing on nonprofit leadership management. Dr. Ary is also a practicing Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) within the state of California. From a solution-based, problem-solving model, the agency offers therapy to individuals, families, couples, and providing a variety of relationship services including co-parenting, mediation and support to clients working towards their personal goals receiving therapeutic services.
We work from a community-based approach, providing in-person office appointments and telehealth sessions through applications that can be used on cellphones, laptops, and desktops to support individuals feeling comfortable accessing services that are convenient to utilize. If an environment is preferred but is not a confidential private location, we can discuss alternatives to support a convenient and comfortable environment while addressing your individual privacy therapeutic needs.
Consultation and training services are also available to provide support in increasing mental health awareness within the community through working with other nonprofit and county agencies. Consultation and training services can be adapted to the audience's need in providing information on customer service-based practices, service delivery, clinical documentation, and coordination of care for those experiencing mental health crises with understanding the 5150, 5151, and 5152 crisis assessment processes.
