We may even lose a sense of our own identity along the way, and that “lost” feeling brings experiences of anxiety, stress, sadness, fear, physical struggles, or more. It can be helpful to find a safe space to explore our thoughts and feelings, and counseling can offer an objective perspective, thought-provoking questions, and help in discovering the way forward.

Are you looking for a strength-based approach to life? Are you generally an internally peaceful and pleasant person but your unwanted mood or thoughts are more powerful? Do stress, anxiety, and depression make you someone that you do not recognize? Are you mad, sad, or quiet without a true reason that you can express?

Hello, my name is Candice McKinney, LPC and I am passionate about helping adults achieve mental health and wholeness in their lives. I understand that every individual brings a different history and outlook to counseling, so I tailor each therapeutic relationship to address the issues and style of the individual client and am very respectful of the client's need to be understood. My goal in counseling is to create an atmosphere where you leave feeling that you have been treated with compassion and given the tools to look beyond your current circumstances as you make the needed changes in your life.

I've had extensive experience working with college and career age women, young mothers, adolescents and their parents, as well as those affected by addictions.

"Forgive yourself for not knowing what you didn't know until you lived through it. Honor your path. Trust your journey. Learn, Grow, Evolve, Become" That's not my quote but it's a good idea of what I believe therapy is all about. I work with clients to help them connect with their truth and to trust it. They learn how to practice self love and self care. These are important steps to finding solutions to your challenges. If our life or our self image is out of balance it wreaks havoc on our mental health. I support clients in finding balance which leads to peace and joy. If you are looking to heal or grow let's begin that journey!

Breaking free from unhealthy patterns in our lives can be difficult. Emotions may feel out-of-control at times and self-defeating thoughts may run amok in our minds. We might feel trapped in isolation, unhealthy relationship cycles or struggle to move beyond past hurts, traumatic experiences or our own mistakes. There is hope. It is possible to heal from the past, gain control of our emotions, and develop new ways of thinking or relating to others. I would love to have the opportunity to walk with you on your journey towards increased peace of mind, meaningful connections and renewed purpose.

I enjoy working with adults, teens and children but especially enjoy helping parents of young children exhibiting behavioral problems. When children misbehave they are trying to communicate their needs in an ineffective way. My psychodynamic training helps inform my ability to determine what’s really going on with children as well as adults. The psychotherapy I provide is conducted in a very compassionate and non-judgmental way. When people struggle they need to be heard - I’m a great listener but am adept at reading between the lines. I help bring to conscious awareness many underlying issues residing in the unconscious.
