Candice Love
(she/her)
As a therapist who values mental, emotional, and behavioral health my goal in working with clients is to help them identify the best strategies, perspectives and mindsets to enjoy the life they lead. My approach to therapy is solution focused, non judgmental and collaborative. Together we will work towards the life you truly deserve. I plan to assist you with grief, identity issues, life transitions, family issues, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges and much more.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together we will discuss the past few months and what brings you to therapy. I will explain my approach to therapy and what to expect from me. We will also discuss your goals, your experience with therapy and how you feel our relationship will benefit you and finally how you would like our relationship to look. We will also discuss your career, education, romantic relationship and childhood family history in our first few sessions in order for me to understand you as a whole in order to guide treatment.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Having worked in therapy for the past 5 years I feel that I have developed effective skills, tool and structure to therapy that is tailored to each client I work with. I feel that I provide a unique experience that is non-judgmental, structured, reliable, honest and reflective that gives clients support, guidance and tools to make meaningful change that they want in their lives.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I enjoy working with clients who are motivated for change in their lives. Individuals who may be experiencing life transitions, ending of relationships, grief, identity issues, self love challenges, family issues, self esteem, depression, anxiety and much more. Clients who are willing to be reflective and are willing to commit to the therapy process.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a structured goal oriented evidence based treatment method that I use to help clients change their behavior, gain control over their thoughts and feelings and respond to challenging situations more effectively. I have used this method in my practice for many years and I feel with my approach and guidance clients have responded well.
Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic is a in depth form of talk therapy where you discuss the past and present in a reflective manner in order to reach conclusions, find answers and develop insight in your life. I use this treatment method with clients to gain understanding of their lives and hopefully create meaningful solutions to challenges that they are facing.

Candice is a truly a blessing sent by God! She’s authentic, offers great solutions, and advice. Challenges me to view things differently, and to dig deep within to get to the root cause of some of my issues. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She’s amazing at what she does and I am seeing the growth progress after completing three sessions. I love her warm demeanor and her approach she uses with her patients. she’s so patient with me and she helps me understand me and I love that.

I feel like this is going to be a very good match for me. She made me feel very heard and comfortable. Coming from a previous therapy situation where it was not the best. I was extremely nervous, but those feelings have quickly subsided. I’m excited for the future now.

Candice was very warm and welcoming for our first meet. I felt comfortable with opening up to her and I felt understood. Looking forward to getting more guidance and advice from her in future sessions.
