Therapists in Butler, PA

Experiences like a persistent state of sadness, anxiety or even anger/resentment can leave you feeling stuck. After a while, being stuck can create frustration and feelings of loneliness. Over a decade of experience in the mental health field has taught me the strength of the therapeutic relationship in supporting people to free themselves from excessive emotional pain and to create new opportunities for happiness, excitement and peace of mind.

My name is Candace Johnson and I am the owner of Purposefully Soaring Counseling Services LLC. We are interested in helping you learn how to "Soar with Purpose" ,through the challenges you may be facing. Whether you need a confidential ear to vent or support; our mission is to help you learn practical skill to improve your life. We provide a compassionate non-judgmental, culturally sensitive environment that allows you to express yourself, uncover your barriers, and identify things standing in the way of your happiness.

My goal as a therapist is to offer unconditional positive support towards my clients and walk alongside of them through their therapeutic journey. I have experience with offering mental health counseling to individuals throughout their entire lifetime but I specialize in child, teen, and college-aged individuals.

I have been helping clients of all ages, races, and backgrounds live more fulfilling, rewarding, hopeful lives for as long as I can remember. It was natural for me to become a psychologist and make my mark on the world by doing exactly what I loved to do. Although my clients continually tell me how much they are helped by therapy, I can honestly say that I am the one who is truly changed by helping others. No matter what your difficulties are, I can assure you that you will be changed in some way by entering therapy. There is no difficulty too great or too small to work on in therapy. The only constant in life is change.

Hi! I work well with other professionals and pre-professionals (including other therapists) and anyone who is part of a marginalized population (ie: BIPOC, LGBT+). I specialize in empowerment which often means dealing with past trauma. Most of us have experienced trauma. If something has impacted your life negatively, let’s work together and start healing it.

When stress, trauma, mental health disorders and life crises become too much to handle, we owe it to ourselves and to those we care about to get help. I provide hope and healing to individuals, couples and families through professional counseling and informative educational programs. Clients are empowered to achieve spiritual, emotional and physical well-being. I can help you to gain the skills to process through painful challenges and live a healthy, fulfilling life. I am committed to helping you become your best self!

*Accepting new clients * As a Marriage and Family Therapist I focus on the systems around and inside of you. My philosophy is, you must honestly know yourself in relationships to identify yourself as an individual. There are no individuals in the world, only fragments of families trying to express themselves. I work with those that are curious about the world around them. I support breaking generational curses and patterns, to help find your true self. I support disenfranchised groups through the time we all living in. I focus on Social Justice through an experiential lens, that challenges our way of existing.

“There's a complete breakdown in communication.” Relationships are often a union of opposites. Family backgrounds and life philosophies are different. So, it’s no surprise that conflicts arise. When it comes to how we handle that conflict, one partner wants to brush it under the rug and hopes it passes, while the other wants to come at it head-on. If we are not careful, resentment emerges. Couples therapy builds a better relationship for BOTH of you. Improving communication, parenting, trust, intimacy, and conflict management will make your relationship more satisfying.

At Serenity Hill Counseling & Wellness LLC, we explore what it means to have a mind/body/spirit connection and how to assist people in healing WHOLE. For far too long, our society has separated the mind, body, & spirit. While we have made great strides in the world of medicine, we have also taken hundreds of steps backwards in the world of spirituality and emotional well-being. We have downplayed our innate ability to heal. At SHCW we dive into the world of holistic healing while combining this with evidenced-based treatment options to encompass ALL areas of wellness. We encourage each client to develop their own path to healing!

I am currently accepting new clients. As an experienced psychotherapist I work with a diverse adult population providing individual therapy and group therapy. I have been trained in a number of psychotherapeutic modalities and, over the past few years, have largely focused my work with clients on the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model of therapy. This is an easily applicable model to all therapeutic relationships that effectively addresses the wide range of emotional, behavioral challenges, and life experiences that people face.

Do you want more from your life? Are you struggling with unhealthy thoughts and want to learn how to replace them with healthy thoughts?

Allow us to help you have your ‘Watershed Moment’ - your turning point, the exact moment things in your life change direction.

One's functioning is enhanced or restricted by one’s thoughts and belief system. What you think/believe vibrates and applies to the law of attraction, the mind body connection and neuroscience. The "energy of our emotional vibration" has a direct correlation to emotional state, health, and what is occurring and manifesting in our lives. This concept and becoming intentionally aware that one is a co-creator empowers and attunes to the calibration of well being. The approach applies to individuals, families, and couples. Underneath we all seek a sense of comfort, ease, and satisfaction with the experiences in our lives.
