My career began in a private practice that often included children and adolescents referred by school districts for disruptive behavior, bullying or self harm. For patients who are having difficulty in academic environments, I place an emphasis on collaborating with school districts to advocate for the patient and ensure a correct diagnosis when needed. I have worked with patients as young as age 4, from patients who are in their 80's.

Have you ever felt like you don’t know which direction to go in your life? Have you ever felt frustrated, discouraged, anxious, and maybe even depressed about how your life is going and the people around you? Maybe one day you felt good about yourself, but then not many days afterwards, you are wondering who you even are. Maybe you have felt like you just want to give up, because what’s the point, you don’t have much control over what happens anyway. Many people feel this way, and often suffer in silence. I want to help you to see that you’re not alone, that there is hope on the other side, and empower you to be your best self!

Welcome! I am Nicki/Nicole L. Dandridge, LCSW. My life assignment is to hold/provide a genuinely-welcoming, supportive space for others. Let's be honest… in life, we are all faced with challenges, changes, and obstacles from which we must heal from, or cope with, and hopefully GROW/EVOLVE on the other side of.

As we live, we write the stories of our lives. Sometimes the pen gets too heavy. Sometimes we don’t know where to start… or how to continue. And then there’s writer’s block, the faltering of the creative process somewhere in our hearts, our minds, our bodies producing dis-orders and dis-eases. Maybe you have lost a Loved one. Maybe you’re starting a new relationship. Maybe you want a new job. Maybe you just want change. I believe the remedy is in the beliefs/feelings, thoughts, and behaviors fueling the writer’s block or dis-ease, and I am a dis-ease specialist.

As a therapist, I consider it a privilege to assist individuals, as they walk through and process life experiences and traumas. Life, work, and relationships can leave us feeling burnt out and imprisoned. Our ability to live life to the fullest often hinges on our perspective and choices.

My practice will help you gain direction, insight, personal and relational healing, and coping skills to live life well. I have worked with numerous adults over the past 10+ years and have been a licensed clinical psychologist since 2014.

Hello! I'm Cindy Stanford and I'm a holistic practitioner, life coach and licensed therapist. Honoring all spiritual practices and beliefs I utilize the sacred wisdom of the mind, body, spirit and heart to ignite life/spirit resuscitation. I facilitate the process of transformation through spirituality -focused services, psychotherapy, life coaching, consulting and mentoring.

While discussing mental health has become somewhat more common, it might not be a topic that you feel comfortable bringing up with close friends or family. If you have felt that you were alone as you experience symptoms like a lack of concentration, uncontrollable negative thoughts, or feeling like you are in 'autopilot' I would be honored to guide your recovery process. I believe that anxiety and depression are shared experiences that we all encounter during periods of heightened stressors in our lives, and that the goal of therapy is to help us identify what our thoughts and choices that do not align with our goals.

I have an array of hands-on experience from initially beginning in healthcare and later transitioning into mental health. I received a master's degree in Marriage and Family in 2013 and a master's degree in Professional Counseling in 2015. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, anger, mood instability, and substance abuse. I believe that we all experience moments where we need additional support and someone to walk alongside us on our journey.
