Getting to know Candace Yarde
Candace Yarde is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 7 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults.

Ms. Yarde has worked across diverse settings, including non-profit, child welfare, private practice, and healthcare.

What should a new client know about working with you?
Ms. Yarde’s approach is a mixture of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered to support clients in understanding the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Ms. Yarde works collaboratively with clients to help them feel comfortable in the therapeutic space, and to take an active role in setting and working toward their goals. In sessions, Ms. Yarde incorporates coping strategies and tools to help clients navigate challenges both in and outside of therapy. Ms. Yarde provides a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment while also gently challenging clients to provide insight and growth.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our group, Willow Health, provides short term, virtual care for individuals in mental health crises. As a therapist, I work collaboratively with our team of psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, care managers, and certified peers to create personalized care plans. We also have a nursing after hours line to help with crises that occur after hours. (This will not be with your regular care team).
Our services are short term in nature, lasting between 8-12 weeks depending on your needs. This means that at the end of your time with us, we’ll make sure you’re connected to ongoing care and support to continue your recovery outside of Willow Health.
Getting started is simple. You can schedule an initial assessment as soon as today virtually, from the comfort of your home. Your first meeting will last about 90 minutes. You’ll talk with me and a psychiatrist or psychiatric NP who will help design a treatment plan that works for you. Depending on your needs, your care may include medication management, therapy (including specialized support for thoughts of self harm) and care management. Additionally you’ll have the option to participate in recovery coaching, which includes working with a peer recovery coach, someone who has lived experience with mental health and/or substance use, and who will support you through your recovery journey.
