About My Clients
I find joy working with individuals, couples, and families who may battle with all levels of trauma including abuse and grief; anxiety; anger; severe mental illness including personality disorders, bipolar disorder, psychosis; depression, adolescent behavioral issues, & relationship issues. Any client who is willing to explore, challenged with some humor is an ideal candidate. Individuals with severe mental illness, personality disorders, mood disorders, and sexual offenses often feel safe.
My Background and Approach
I have worked in the mental health field for over 16 years with almost 10 years providing therapy services with adults, adolescents, and children with a mental illness, behavioral issues, substance abuse, and with developmental delays. My roles have stretched from therapist, residential counselor, mobile crisis counselor, clinical program manager, case manager. I hold a special interest with those who suffers from a severe mental illness and the sexual offender population that led to a certification as a sexual offender treatment provider and personality disorder treatment provider. I consider these populations underserved as there are limited resources and effective treatment that are often not attainable.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As an eclectic therapist, the theoretical approach applied varies as each person and situation is unique. Candice approaches each individual from a non-judgmental perspective provided with empathy, challenge, humor, and guidance. Candice believes any person has the ability to manage mental health issues and break unhealthy cycles that reinforces the silence of mental health existence and needs. Breaking Cycles Counseling PLLC will provide the space and opportunity for each individual to find their voice and break unhealthy cycles that hinders their personal growth. The volunteer work that I do in the community also speaks for how much reaching out to the underserve means to me. Everyone deserves to be provided with the same quality care and resources.
