Getting to know Candyss Newman

Clients come to me for support with overcoming adversity in order to start living their best life. I have nearly a decade of experience supporting youth, adults, and families as a therapist. I work with teens (13+) and adults in need of support with a variety of challenges, such as Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, ADHD, Grief/Loss, and Body Image through individual therapy. I strive to help people grow beyond their trauma by building the resilience, skills, and resourcefulness they need to improve their quality of life. My style is affirming, empathetic, and encouraging, which fosters your ability to identify unhelpful patterns, process complex emotions, and strengthen the coping skills you need for personal growth. I provide a nonjudgemental space for you to feel safe to explore, grow, and heal. My priority will be your comfort and emotional safety. We'll take time to get to know each other and talk about expectations as well as explore your current concerns, challenges, and goals for therapy. Together, we'll sketch out a plan for how to move forward with creating meaningful change in your life at your own pace.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I provide trauma-informed, client-centered, and strengths-based support, leaning toward Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and integrated strategies that recognize the individual needs and desired pace of my clients. We'll take time to get to know each other and talk about expectations as well as explore your current concerns, challenges, and goals for therapy.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Currently, I provide therapy services on the Headway platform. A typical session involves checking in, possibly using a grounding or mindfulness exercise, and exploring how your recent experiences have impacted you both positively and negatively. It starts from gaining an understanding of your vision for therapy and collaborating to develop your treatment goals.
