Getting to know Kandice Nelson

Hi there, I'm Kandice! Hello, My name is Kandice Nelson. I am your relatable and inner child therapist. I specialize in addressing a range of issues stemming from early life experiences (e.g., anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, attachment difficulties) and guiding clients through the transformative journey of overcoming childhood trauma and emotional wounds. My approach Drawing from years of experience in trauma-informed therapy, I combine a compassionate, holistic approach with evidence-based techniques to support my clients in releasing past pain, reclaiming their authenticity, and fostering emotional well-being. My focus I have a deep passion for helping children and adolescents overcome childhood challenges and young adults reconnect with their inner child. Through gentle exploration and tailored therapy sessions, I help individuals tap into the power of their inner child—the part of us that holds our purest emotions, unprocessed pain, and unhealed memories. By addressing and healing these foundational wounds, my clients can break free from cycles of shame, fear, and self-doubt, while cultivating self-compassion, emotional resilience, a sense of control, and a renewed sense of joy. Together, we will unlock the pathways to healing, self-discovery, and the freedom to live a life aligned with your truest self. My communication style As your therapist, my goal is to create a space where you feel deeply seen, heard, and safe—especially for the parts of you that may have felt ignored, rejected, or overwhelmed in the past. Inner child work is tender and powerful, and it’s important to me that our communication supports your healing every step of the way.
