About Sunshine Inside Therapy

Kendra Pinamonti, MA, LMFT

Founder/Clinical Director

When life feels heavy, even the smallest things can feel impossible.

At Sunshine Inside Therapy in Encinitas, California, we see you.

We’ve walked through darkness, too, and we know that healing is possible.

With over two decades of experience, our boutique practice offers compassionate, evidence-based therapy for individuals, couples, (pre-)teens, and families. We specialize in trauma, ADHD, life transitions, and nervous system regulation, blending deep empathy with powerful modalities like EMDR and somatic therapy.

Our clients leave feeling lighter, more grounded, and deeply supported. They gain tools they can use in real life, so they’re not just talking about change, they’re living it.

You don't have to carry it all alone. Let's walk through it together.

Our Approach To Therapy

Therapy here is more than just talking—it’s a journey through reflection, understanding, and meaningful change.

We want therapy to feel like a warm cup of familiar comfort, a soft spot to land and a little lighter when you leave. Healing starts with emotional safety, trust and real connection in a judgment-free space. You will feel seen, heard and supported as we set meaningful goals that meet you where you are.

Together, we will explore the patterns, emotions, and past experiences that shape your inner world, enabling you to understand your symptoms and yourself better.

With insight and action, we will build new coping skills, shift thought patterns, and strengthen resilience for lasting growth.
