Getting to know Kandice Richards-Lanza

I’m Kandice, and I’m the person who will absolutely let you sit cross-legged, ramble a little, and swear if that’s your thing. My approach to therapy is relaxed, real, and lightly sarcastic—think best-friend energy with a clinical degree. I believe healing happens best when you feel safe, understood, and just challenged enough to grow (without feeling judged, talked down to, or like you’re “doing therapy wrong”). I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, grief, relationship stress, parenting overload, and major life transitions. I have a special place in my heart for caregivers who are exhausted, women navigating pregnancy or postpartum shifts, and people healing from domestic violence, sexual abuse, PTSD, self-harm, or suicidal thoughts. In our work together, we’ll focus on coping skills that actually work in real life—managing stress, improving sleep, setting boundaries, regulating emotions, strengthening relationships, and quieting that brain that won’t shut up at night. I’ll support you, validate you, and yes—gently call you out when it helps you move forward. Growth doesn’t have to be miserable, but it does require honesty. I’m also proudly sex-positive and kink-allied, and I strive to create a judgment-free space where we can talk openly about relationships, identity, intimacy, and whatever else you’ve been told you “shouldn’t” talk about. Whether you’re coming to therapy for yourself, your child, or your relationship, my goal is simple: to help you feel more confident, capable, and grounded so you can live your best life, not just survive it. Come as you are. We’ll figure it out together. — KRL
