Black and African American Therapists in Herndon, VA

In my experience, I have learned that “hitting rock bottom” does not mean the end of your life, but rather a chance to rebuild your life the way you want it. Life can get stressful and often leave one “suffocating” from the pressure. It is in those moments that you may need someone to stand in the chaos with you and help you rebuild. Life involves learning and "unlearning" ideals, habits, and ways of thinking. I have an integrated theoretical approach to meet the needs of my clients, however my primary approach is Cognitive Behavioral.

Covering Virginia and Florida (private pay for Florida at this time) There are times when life can be very difficult to manage, especially if you have been trying to do it all alone. Without proper support and guidance, it can become a daunting task. However difficult it may be, know that you do not have to bear any of this on your own. Taking the first step to reach out for help is huge, and I commend anyone who decides to make strides to better their lives.

Hello, my name is Candice McKinney, LPC and I am passionate about helping adults achieve mental health and wholeness in their lives.

My goal in counseling is to create an atmosphere where you leave feeling that you have been treated with compassion and given the tools to look beyond your current circumstances as you make the needed changes in your life.

Services explore the relationship we have with both ourselves and others; how well we can live with emotional ease, know who we are, ask for what we need, be responsive to loved ones, set boundaries, deal with loss, heal trauma, move through stressful experiences, find our purpose, and access resilience in moments of need.
