Hi, my name is Candice Smith and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor serving individuals in East Valley including Gilbert, Chandler, and Queen Creek. I provide a warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative approach to understanding who you are and what you would like to achieve.

Reaching out for help is never easy. This may have been something on your mind for awhile or you may have recently experienced a life changing event. In any case, it is a privilege to have you here. My goal is for you to achieve a more fulfilling life - maybe that means one with less anxiety and depression. Perhaps it’s a deeper connection with friends and family. Other times it’s breaking free from past trauma, toxic relationships and dysfunctional patterns that prevent you from moving forward. Together, we will determine how to best reach those goals using your own personal strengths, comfortable level and at your own pace.

I believe in the power of connection, in embracing the quirks that make us individuals, and in fostering a space where vulnerability is not just accepted but celebrated.

Sometimes we all need a little guidance to get there.

We all have challenges. Admittedly some are objectively harder than others but our own challenges are unique to each of us and can seem devastating from our perspective. I would like to help you work through yours. I am not going to give you platitudes. Instead, I want to help you learn to accept, cope, cry if you need to, and then get back up! It’s not easy, but you can do hard things! As a college professor, and my background in medicine, my natural instinct is to make sure you understand both the biological and psychological reasons behind your troubles and then we work together to put YOU back in control of your life.

I appreciate the therapeutic journey for every client. It takes a lot of courage, vulnerability, and bravery to take the step to seek out support and seek change in one’s life. I’m here to be a collaborative partner in that journey of helping motivated clients find hope, peace, and clarity to life’s struggles. I find it important to create realistic and healthy goals in the therapy process as well as celebrate the small victories along the way. I’m a huge advocate of a client-centered approach in therapy because therapy is finding your voice and gaining confidence in allowing others to hear it in healthy and constructive ways.

To grow and heal, you have to be face the parts of yourself that you don’t show the world, however—you do not need to do that alone.

I believe we all deserve to feel seen and heard as we navigate difficult phases in life. My goal is to create a safe space where together we can explore and maneuver through life’s challenges.

Danielle LaPorte asked the question best, “Can you remember who you were before the world told you who you should be?” Can you remember when you loved and accepted yourself unapologetically, and embraced all the things about you that make you unique? As we age, we gain knowledge from life experiences and through those experiences we can soar to greatness or we can break and lose sight of who we really are and become someone we were never meant to be. When we become someone less than who we were meant to be we can begin to experience anxiety, depression, substance abuse, loss of relationships and functional distress.
