About Sandra Kushnir

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)(MFT 99225)Certified Addiction Treatment Counselor (CATC) (instagram)@meridian.counseling (instagram) Hello! Welcome to my Linkedin page! My name is Sandra Kushnir and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the greater Los Angeles area. I enjoy working with clients who are in recovery from substance abuse and addiction, young adults and couples. I have worked in a wide range of treatment settings, ranging from high-end residential substance abuse and eating disorder clinics, private practice, school based settings and most recently a Department of Mental Health agency. My dream and long-term career goal is to open my own residential treatment center to provide a holistic and nature-based treatment program for dual diagnosis clients between the ages of 18 and 25. I have been working on creating an initial business plan and handbook in my spare time. Please feel free to message me with any questions pertaining to my professional experience or job opportunities.
