Everyone deserves a safe space to find healing.
About Mandy Schmidt & Kindred Counseling in Rocklin, CA
Hi! I'm Mandy, Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFTI’m a therapist, wife, mom, and a firm believer that healing is life-long, messy, and absolutely worth it.
I’ve dedicated my career to helping people navigate the hard stuff: trauma, relationship struggles, and parenting challenges. I know what it’s like to juggle the complexities of connection, healing, and growth—because I’m on that journey, too. (We all are!)
Beyond the degrees and credentials, I’m someone who deeply understands how life’s messiness can shape us. I’ve walked through my own experiences with trauma, and it’s taught me so much about myself, my relationships, and how we can grow even in the toughest seasons.
Reaching out for help is a brave step, and I’m honored to walk alongside my clients as they navigate the hard parts. In our work together, you’ll find a safe, compassionate space where you’re encouraged to show up just as you are. Let’s explore what’s holding you back and chart a path toward the life and relationships you deserve.
You’re not meant to do this alone—and you don’t have to.
