Magdalena Beneitez

I have been practicing as a marriage and family therapist for 24 years, serving the San Diego community with a focus on the Latino population. My typical day involves seeing clients from 6 to 8 sessions, either in person or via Zoom, and I dedicate three days a week to facilitating process therapy groups. After earning my bachelor's degree in business in Mexico, I pursued my master's degree at San Diego University for Integrative Studies, graduating in 2003. I then completed a 6-year internship at a local domestic violence shelter, which provided invaluable experience before I started my private practice. What I consider my most notable professional achievement is being able to serve the Latino community in San Diego, helping them with their acculturation, adjustment, and mental health issues. Currently, I receive most of my referrals by word of mouth, which I really appreciate as it's very enriching, though primarily from Hispanic clients. I'm now looking to be challenged by serving other populations as well and expanding the diversity of my practice.
