Therapists in Country Club, Bronx, NY

I am a License Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents and families. My uttermost desire is to guide and aid individuals and families through their personal journeys to a place of self-determination. I frequently address a variety of emotional challenges; including depression, anxiety, stress, work-related and relationship issues. I have acquired extensive experience and knowledge in my field. My approach encompasses compassion and complete confidentiality in a nonjudgmental environment. I am extremely committed to support your personal journey to achieve your desire

I am a mental health counselor. I am also a creative (crocheter, painter, musician, etc.), a “nature junkie”, a bibliophile, a friend, a sibling, a third-culture individual, & etc. I say all that to say this, people are complex. We have so many layers to our identities that it’s almost impossible for them not to overlap and sometimes conflict. This intersectionality highlights the importance of viewing people in their entirety. It is my goal to create a welcoming environment that foster’s healthy development in my clients’ lives. At present, Lotus life Mental Health Counseling only provides services to female identifying clients.

I believe in utilizing psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapy. However, my practice also focuses on changing the neural pathways that can become distorted when we experience trauma. With the help of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Trauma Focused CBT, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we can work to heal childhood trauma, adult PTSD, and distorted thinking that limits joy and growth in your life. Additionally, I have experience with supporting clients with cognitive integration after a psychedelic treatment. I can support you in taking control of both your body and mind.

My personal and professional mission in life is to empower people to be the best version of themselves in every domain of wellness, especially mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I work together with my clients to identify and get to the root of their challenges, so that we can then strategically address the root, and come to a place of healing. I have a particular passion for and expertise in working with children and young adults of color and of Christian faith, via faith-based counseling (as applicable/requested), dealing with issues of self-esteem, fear, anxiety and stress.

I have 14 years of experience as a social worker and psychotherapist. I have helped clients with depression, major mood disorders, relational issues, and substance use. My work is non-judgmental and client centered and utilize CBT, Psycho-dynamic, and Motivational Interviewing techniques. If you believe you have substance use issues or not sure, why not have a look into the help that is available? I can offer low cost Telehealth sessions for the uninsured.

If the past few years have taught us nothing else, it has shown us that we are living in unprecedented and unpredictable times. Maybe the stressors of today have drummed up unresolved issues or traumas that you thought you were passed, or maybe for the first time things are feeling too big to handle on your own. Facing the daily struggles of life can be difficult and create a facade that things will not get better. While your challenges may feel insurmountable right now, I am here to be a support in those times to help guide you through.

Life does present numerous obstacles and hurdles that we have to navigate, and we need someone to walk with us through those challenging times. I believe that relationships will not always be smooth sailing and that there will be periods of rough seas that couples will have to navigate as well. I offer to help you process those challenging times. I am also passionate about working with couples who are experiencing challenges in their relationship and need help to restore the love and happiness they once shared. if you are considering taking your relationship to the next level then ask about my PREPARE-ENRICH assessment sessions.

Relax, Relate, Release! Our hope for our clients is to gain the skills to reach their personal goals, acknowledge their strengths, create a healthy space for their growth and get through this transition(s) in their lives.

Navigating the complex relationship between mental health and the world around us can be challenging. This challenge may be amplified for individuals of color or those from cultures that may not fully support or understand the benefits of therapy. Feeling familiar with anxiety, depression, or stress should not be the norm. Struggling with boundaries in your relationships should not be a constant battle, and ADHD should not hinder your connections. At Personalize Your Therapy, we believe these challenges can be overcome.

If you are dealing with anxiety, depression, or trauma you know how debilitating these conditions can be. It is even more so challenging when navigating these struggles in a foreign or oppressive culture. I’ve dealt with this first hand and I know how rare it is to find somebody that can relate to one’s lived experience.

My name is Candace. I am a native New Yorker who has met people from all walks of life. My journey into social work and therapy developed from a childhood curiosity about others' journeys and a desire for everyone to be comfortable in their own skin. Every human being on this planet has a story to share and a desire to be understood. I invite everyone to engage in therapy to have this experience. My style is informal and inquisitive. Together, we will create a safe space where you can share and be heard with no judgment. My goal for my clients is to be introspective and practice grace with themselves.

Change is never easy. We seldom know where to start. Acknowledgement is the first step. Seeking assistance is the second. Let me guide you on that journey to wellness. As your therapist, it is my honor to work with you to formalize a plan that's best for you. Therapy is a relationship that when done properly, can reshape lives, and bring new perspectives to an issue. For the past 15 years, I have worked with adolescents and families. I enjoy getting to the heart of the situation and I'm not afraid to address "the elephant in the room". I am also a certified Hypnotherapist. This modality works really well for anxiety and phobias.

I am a licensed Psychotherapist and I help people manage problems. Those problems can be long standing or the result of recent life stressors or events. I offer the benefit of what I have learned through years of experience, education and training, in assisting individuals and couples to improve their lives. My hope is that you will allow me to help you be the best version of you in your life journey.
