Getting to know Candace Smith
I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll identify challenges and work on strategies to help you move forward with confidence.
My approach
Your goals and progress are my primary focus. I use a combination of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing to help motivate individuals and promote confidence from within.
My focus
Have you been finding it difficult to process a new event in your life? Any change in life may need some adjustments, and sometimes just being able to put words to know you feel will allow you to process your feelings to come to a resolution. Whether you’re working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring your personal goals, I’ll work with you to create a growth plan that feels empowering and achievable.
My communication style
Open communication is ideal to provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening to ensure you are heard through this process, empathetic communication to provide a supportive tone to your experience, and take a nonjudgmental stance to ensure you feel safe to speak freely and without judgment.
My journey to mental healthcare
My therapy journey began with a desire to help others build strength within in. Throughout my years in the field, I have met many individuals with various goals in life. As I worked with them and heard their individual stories, I quickly realized what drew me to choose the path as a Social Worker was being able to help people see that they carry with them the strength and resilience for resolutions on their own. Much of what people may need is some guidance and support through their healing journeys. I’m continually driven by the fundamental belief that everyone has the potential for positive growth and change.
