Getting to know Candice Ratledge

Wondering how to make it all make sense? Let's work together to approach instead of avoiding for a change. You're already taking the first step. Let me help you find ways to connect with yourself more deeply and authentically. I'm an LCSW with over 20 years of experience. My approach I am a responsive therapist, using integrative approaches to help you navigate your personal challenges. My style is collaborative, pulling from cognitive behavioral, mindfulness-based, and trauma-focused therapies. My approach is not "one size fits all" but instead, it's more adaptive. My focus Wrestling with the past or anxiously worried about the future? I work with adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, trauma, and self-esteem issues. Collaboratively, we’ll design a personalized plan for growth that feels empowering and reachable. My communication style I facilitate clear, direct communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental atmosphere. I practice active listening in order to help you reflect on your experiences as an empathetic comrade. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be present, calm, and patient. My journey to mental healthcare My journey into therapy began with curiosity about human resilience paired with a desire to help others find peace through life’s challenges. Working with many different survivors showed me the power of therapy in healing. I’m propelled by the belief that everyone deserves and has the capacity for post-traumatic growth, healing, and lasting change. My goals for you I see therapy as a collaboration. Together, we’ll set targets that matter most to you—whether that’s improving relationships, improving your mood, or becoming more authentic to yourself. As you gain insights, we’ll adapt your plan to stay meaningful and supportive as you move toward where you want to be.
