Candice Exon
Hi, I'm Candice! Life can be complicated, relationships can be confusing, and sometimes our brains refuse to cooperate. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, ADHD, trauma, relationship stress, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, therapy can be a place to slow down, gain insight, and find a path forward. I bring a blend of compassion, curiosity, humor, and practical strategies to the therapy room. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being your authentic self... messy thoughts, big feelings, and all. Together, we'll work to understand what's getting in the way, build on your strengths, and help you move toward the life you want to be living.
By fostering strengths and highlighting successes, I support clients in navigating difficulties and enhancing their overall well-being.
First session
Reaching out for therapy can be scary - believe me, I know. I hope to build rapport with you and go at your pace. Please feel free to email me to schedule an initial session - the first session is really just gathering information and getting comfortable. So take a deep breath and take that first step. Start somewhere.
Strengths
I believe that everyone deserves a space where they can show up exactly as they are and feel accepted. I work hard to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable exploring life's challenges, celebrating successes, and being honest about the messy parts in between. My approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and genuine curiosity about your story. I welcome and affirm clients from all backgrounds, identities, cultures, relationship styles, and life experiences. I value diversity and understand that there is no "one-size-fits-all" approach to therapy. Together, we'll build a path forward that honors your values, experiences, and goals while helping you create meaningful change in your life. I focus on helping clients build resilience and develop skills to manage and overcome challenges. By fostering strengths and highlighting successes, I support clients in navigating difficulties and enhancing their overall well-being. These strengths help me create a therapeutic environment that supports meaningful change and growth, ultimately assisting clients in achieving their goals and improving their quality of life.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with adults, specifically with trauma and attachment-based work. These link throughout our lives, relationships and personalities. I have a passion for the LGBTQIA2S+ community, am open-minded, and am here to help. I will start where you are!
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT principles to help individuals understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Attachment-based
Understanding a client's attachment style—whether secure, anxious, avoidant, or disorganized—can provide insight into their current relational patterns and emotional responses.
Narrative
The core idea is that the way people interpret and narrate their experiences affects their sense of self and their emotional well-being.
