Getting to know Candice Kirk

Hi there, I'm Candice! I provide a client-centered, strengths-based approach to therapy, creating a compassionate and supportive space for healing. My areas of practice include trauma, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and emotional regulation. I tailor treatment to meet the unique needs of each individual. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from California State University Long Beach and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). My approach I use an integrative approach, drawing from evidence-based methods tailored to each client’s needs. I focus on creating a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard and understood. Common approaches I use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify and change negative thought patterns, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), focusing on emotional regulation and mindfulness. I also incorporate strengths-based and trauma-informed practices, ensuring therapy is empowering and healing. My focus I work with adolescents and adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and emotional regulation challenges. I have experience helping clients with family dynamics, behavioral issues, and school-related stress. I’m particularly comfortable treating trauma, anxiety disorders, and mood disorders, using a compassionate, strengths-based approach to build resilience and emotional balance. My communication style I create a warm, non-judgmental, supportive environment where clients feel safe to express themselves. Working with me is collaborative and empowering—I aim to make clients feel heard and respected while gently challenging them to grow. Sessions are for self-exploration, healing, and developing practical skills, balancing compassion, empathy, and active problem-solving. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist was rooted in a desire to help others navigate emotional challenges and find healing.
