"I have been working in the mental health field since 1995 and with both adolescents and adults. I have worked in a variety of settings, including residential, in-home, and outpatient. Some particular areas of focus are: emotional issues that disrupt one's life (including anxiety, stress, anger management and depression), parenting struggles, adolescent and young adult issues, parent/child relationships and improving/enhancing marital relationships. My therapeutic model is eclectic and utilizes multiple techniques."

"Are you feeling miss understood, alone, depressed, anxious, scared, like life no longer has any meaning, and no one cares? I can help you overcome obstacles that are holding you back from the being the healthy, happy person you want to be. Have you been abused emotionally, mentally, or sexually? I can help you on the journey of healing. Do you have a child, or teenager struggling in school, or having trouble making and getting along with friends? I have a special place in my heart for young people and years of experience helping them. I am here to help you on your journey. "

"Life is full of twists and turns and counseling offers valuable insight and perspective into whatever situations or difficulties you might find yourself in. Counseling provides a safe space for you to process and work through these in a healing way. Whether you are dealing with relational difficulties, personal struggles, or just need help navigating the stressors of life, the counseling relationship can be one that makes you feel heard and understood without judgment."

"Your story matters. Whether it's your marriage, childhood harm, emotional pain, self-image and shame, or other difficulty, there is hope. The complexities of life touch each of us. This is why I became a therapist: to walk alongside those whose stories are painful or could use clarity and compassion to better understand."

"Families, relationships and connections with others impact your quality of life, mental health, and physical health. Relationships cause great joy and unfortunately can cause great pain when they are toxic or off track. Are past relationships haunting your current relationship or self-image? Do you have difficulty forming or maintaining relationships with friends or significant others? Suffered abuse or abandonment in a relationship? Experiencing grief from the loss of a loved one? Have you experienced infidelity in your marriage? These difficult experiences can feel like they define you and become overwhelming at times, but there is hope!"

"I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 23 years of experience of working in the counseling field. My desire is to help individuals, couples, and families in their pursuit of healthy emotional living. In those 23 years, I have had the opportunity to work in several settings- school, church, a psychiatric hospital, and an intensive outpatient program."

""Many times in life we are faced with challenges that we did not expect or even see coming. We may not have the personal experience or the background to know how to handle or cope with the situation. It may involve a life change or a lot of emotional pain. We may feel that our life will never be the same. We may not know what the next move needs to be. Maybe we just need an environment where we can work through the emotional pain. Maybe it is time to get a new direction in life."

"As a counselor, I empower individuals to overcome obstacles and disturbances in their lives. Feeling stuck and overwhelmed by life's stressors is normal, and the counseling relationship is a foundational tool for moving in a more intentional, positive direction. I offer unique guidance on life's "curve balls", spiritual issues, and processing change, while providing creative ways to reconsider how you interact with the world around you."

"As a therapist, I find fulfillment in my role to encourage and walk alongside individuals seeking to reach their goals, conquer life's challenges, transition into the next chapter of their lives, and find their own lives' callings and fulfillments. I also recognize that life has many phases and feel equally called to journey with individuals seeking to find solace after a storm, direction on how to take their first steps after the dust from a previous season has settled, and ways to be at peace in the present on the way to where they are going."

"I am a Masters Level Therapist with 13+ years experience. I specialize in children/teen issues; however, I also work with adults, marriage/family/parenting issues, and mental health disorders, such as Depression and Anxiety. As a former teacher, I have a unique combination of experiences that contribute to my success in working with youth. When counseling school age children, I involve the client's entire environment (parents, teachers, etc.) to develop a comprehensive plan in treating the whole client. I am also able to go into the schools to see clients during non-essential classes. I am a member of the AACC."

"I have a passion to see people healed, transformed and prospering in their soul and life. I've worked in the child welfare field for 19 years and for the past seven years I have worked in the field of addictions and mental health. I am currently pursing a certification in sex therapy from Richmont University Institute of Sexual Wholeness. I believe that sex and sexuality have been a forbidden conversation for far to long and because of this it has brought about sexual fear, shame, confusion, violence and trauma. Sexuality and intimacy were designed by God and should not be a topics of taboo amongst christians or in society."

"We are more than a business, we are a ministry to any who come to us in need for help.

"Life often has bumps in the road. As a counselor, my goal is to help clients navigate life’s challenges in order to experience healing and growth. As a marriage and family therapist, I help couples, families, and individuals explore how family dynamics and past history can impact current relationships and individual well-being."

"Life can be difficult and messy but asking for help is a sign of courage and strength. As a licensed professional counselor I find great joy in walking with a person as they heal and grow. As a Christian woman I ask God to open my eyes to clients needs and guide my words in session. Spirituality is an important part of ones health and I respect any belief system a client brings with them."

"Young children experience many of the same emotions adults do. However, Children have a hard time communicating and expressing their feelings due to not understanding how or why they feel the way they do. Having an emotional vocabulary and finding solutions to dealing with these emotions are goals that can be used throughout Counseling. Children and adolescents need a place to be able to express themselves, understand why they feel the way they do. Candice has training and experience in working with children and adolescents ages 5-18 with anxiety, anger, trauma, divorce, depression, behavioral issues."
