Getting to know Candace Bendele

Hi there, I'm Candace! Hello! I'm Candace Bendele, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT 78340) with over 15 years of counseling and professional experience. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage, and I am here to support you in that process. My approach I have an eclectic style of therapy because I believe there is no "one size fits all" approach when it comes to individuals with different personalities, perspectives, and experiences. I utilize a variety of theories within my practice, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Behavioral Activation, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Family Systems theory, Positive Psychology, Imago, Gottman Methods, and many more! I like to provide an approach that works for you. My focus I have experience helping clients with stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship and marital issues, depression, parenting and co-parenting challenges, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I also support clients coping with life changes and transitions. Additionally, I have extensive experience working therapeutically with clients with ADHD and Autism. My communication style I aim to create an open and inviting environment where communication is collaborative and free of judgment. While my approach is rooted in research and theory, my style is less formal, and I strive to make all clients comfortable. I ask many questions throughout our work together to challenge pre-existing thought and behavioral patterns, then work toward established goals by frequently assigning homework. My journey to mental healthcare I was a very inquisitive child, always interested and curious about the human brain.
