President & CEO
Manuel Fernandez, PsyD, MSCP
My areas of interest and expertise include the treatment of chronic conditions and in particular the management of chronic pain using, from behavioral medicine techniques, to up-to-date medication recommendations. The treatment of any psychiatric condition in consideration with medical conditions or vice versa is important nowadays and the inclusion of integrated approaches is important for the remission of symptoms and overall healing. I have a strong fascination of the brain and its functions. Understanding how the brain responds to psychobiosocial factors is important in understanding how symptoms present. As a psychopharmacologist, it is important to understand how medications work in the brain and the body and how the body and mind react to them. In my practice, I am committed to working not only on acute conditions but also in the prevention of illness for a better overall mental health and wellness. This is a philosophy that I strongly believe in and what I like about my job is that I get to work together with my patients so they feel empowered to live their lives how they feel is better for them. This gets commonly accomplished by using integrated psychotherapeutic techniques, mindfulness meditation, and hypnotherapy which is another of my specialties. I was born and raised in Peru and Spanish is my first language. Being bilingual allows me to extend my services to those who only speak Spanish. I grew up playing soccer and playing music and also became a martial artist. I still practice these three hobbies.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
Joanne Rodriguez, LMFT
Hello and welcome to La Concordia, I am currently a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. As a therapist, I like working in collaboration with my patients to work towards the desired outcome they are looking for. I have been investing my education in learning about different theories and approaches to become a well-rounded clinician so I can help my patients embark towards the path of healing from a more integrative and collaborative approach. I believe that the expert about the presenting condition is the person sitting across my chair. In my interventions, I use the patients’ expertise of themselves to reach to the level of awareness necessary to reach the desired outcome. I follow the motto “nobody knows you better than yourself.” Therefore, my relationship with my patients usually becomes explorative and collaborative making sure that the attention is centered on the client to find personal growth. I have been trained in and specialize in Trauma-Informed Care and trauma treatment approaches including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I help my patients with symptoms consistent with the diagnoses of depression, anxiety, anger issues, trauma as well as helping couples and families dealing with relational/family problems. I see children, adolescents, and adults, as well as couples and families. I also speak Spanish. In my free time, I like playing the violin and making YouTube videos where I mostly post videos of my cats, dog, nail art, and ASMR (the Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response). I look forward getting to know you and know about you and the ways we can work together

Sierra Stofle, AMFT
Hello! My name is Sierra Stofle (she/her/hers). I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) at La Concordia.
