Family Therapy in High Point, NC

My services include working with individual, couples, family and group counseling with adults, adolescents and children. My training is in the areas of anxiety and depressive disorders, relationship issues, trauma issues, and developmental transitions. I use a therapeutic approach that reflects eclectic influences derived from my training in the psychodynamic, person-centered, family systems, and cognitive-behavioral. I view problems as generally being developmental in nature, and approach each person, couple, family or group in a unique fashion.

My mission is to provide the very best counseling and coaching services to help people grow and enrich their lives. I specialize in individual, marital, family, and career counseling as well as professional coaching. Rather than narrowly focusing on problems or diagnostic labels, I help people develop productive lifestyles. As a result, my clients have the satisfaction of improving their own health and having a positive influence on their world.

I have been working in the counseling profession for over 16 years. My area of expertise is People With Disability, children, adolescents, adults, families, and groups. In my work, I utilize an eclectic style of counseling; continuing this further, I do exclusively support family system therapy, person centered and solution focus therapy. I believe that family interactions and communication patterns are important to understanding current issues. I look at evidence-based approaches as tools to help you reach your goals with the intentions of long-term growth and change.

Navigating life’s ever changing course can be daunting at times. Your thoughts and concerns truly matter. Having support to help guide you through, puts you at an advantage to better handle what challenges you might be facing. As a therapist, I can assist you with anxiety, depression, transitioning, emotional challenges, relationship/marital challenges and refreshers, adolescent concerns, parenting & family dynamics, identity discovery and so much more. I do so by fostering authenticity, a positive, safe and nonjudgmental atmosphere. You will have my undivided attention in order to provide you with the best opportunity to process.

I would like to acknowledge and congratulate you on the courage required to take the steps necessary towards achieving your desired goals. The counseling process can be intimidating as it requires you to entrust your current behaviors, thoughts, feelings and concerns to a licensed professional in the hopes of relieving problematic symptoms. My goal is to assist you in this process by providing a warm and empathetic environment in which you are able to discuss, explore, and decide the direction you would like to take. My approach serves to teach you the skills and techniques to effectively identify current problems with confidence.

My services include working with individual, couples, family counseling with adults, and adolescents. I am LGBTQ+ affirming. My training is in the areas of anxiety and depressive disorders, relationship issues, trauma issues, women’s issues (infertility and postpartum), and developmental transitions. I use a therapeutic approach that reflects eclectic influences derived from my training in cognitive-behavioral, EMDR, person-centered, and family systems. I view problems as generally being developmental in nature, and approach each person, couple, or family in a unique fashion.

My life experiences have been too numerous to count. I've had loved ones die, disappointments, medical problems, divorce, betrayals, and more reasons to celebrate than I deserve. I have been extremely blessed by Jesus Christ my Savior, who is the source of all my strength. With God's help, I have accomplished things I never could have imagined. My greatest joy has been raising my three daughters. God gave me wisdom and taught me to have compassion for others in their times of struggles, trials, and difficulties. He taught me to see others through His eyes. He is my constant companion and counselor. Jesus is all the world to me.

I do cognitive-behavioral therapy, play therapy, and experiential therapy, all with a systemic perspective. In addition, I am a level 2 trained professional in EMDR.

No matter our age, race, socioeconomic group, educational level, sexuality, spiritual affiliation (or non-affiliation), or cultural backgrounds we all face the inevitable challenges of life, none of us are exempt from this. Most times we are able to navigate victoriously through these experiences, but sometimes our challenges can leave us so overwhelmed that we have difficulty understanding our situations and coping with our circumstances which makes it very difficult to find a way to overcome them. Ultimately we all want to "live our best life" and sometimes we may need to reach for a trusting hand to help us manifest it.

When feelings of anxiety occur regularly and begin to interfere with your job, relationships, or other aspects of your daily life, it's time to meet with a caring health professional. My goal is to help you experience freedom from the debilitating effects of anxiety and improve your quality of life. I will work to help you and your family better understand and manage the anxiety that is affecting your relationships. Together, we will seek to examine the causes of your anxiety, analyze the emotions associated with it, and reveal how you can control the contributors to your anxiety.

Sometimes this world is not the easiest place to live as we do not have control over every circumstance. We do, however, have control over how we respond to life situations we encounter. As humans, controlling our behaviors, our thoughts, our feelings can be a struggle at times. Therapy is a safe place to process, to learn, to grow so that we can react more effectively to life circumstances and to gain more authority over our lives. Each person and situation is unique. Candice approaches each individual/couple/family from a non-judgmental perspective provided with empathy, challenge, and guidance.
