LCSW, 8 years of experience
Welcome and Congratulations on taking your first step towards healing. I'm Candyce Thomas, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, founder of Integral Therapy Services LLC. I have extensive professional work experience with adults, geriatrics, children and families in both healthcare and mental health settings. My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, life transitions, motivation, self-esteem and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. My primary goal is to provide a safe and bold space for you to navigate through emotional discomfort toward healing. Taking this first step on your journey to healing takes courage and my goal is to support my client along the way.
During our first session, you’ll find a welcoming and supportive space where we begin establishing trust and understanding. We’ll explore your goals for therapy, address any immediate concerns, and discuss key aspects of your background and experiences. This session is also an opportunity for you to learn more about my therapeutic approach, ask any questions about the process, and ensure you feel comfortable and supported as we start this journey together.
My approach is faith-based, compassionate, and empowering. I believe in transforming pain into a catalyst for growth, helping clients recognize that their past does not dictate their future. Together, we focus on healing from experiences that once felt overwhelming and building a strong foundation for a fulfilling life. I use solution-focused techniques that encourage resilience, self-discovery, and joy. My greatest strength lies in building genuine connections with my clients, fostering a space where honesty and meaningful progress can thrive. I am committed to creating a safe, supportive environment where open communication leads to healing and transformation.
I’m here to support you through life’s toughest moments and help you emerge stronger than ever. Whether you're struggling with depression, anxiety, self-doubt, relationship challenges, self worth, major life changes or simply feeling overwhelmed, you don’t have to face it alone. If work or school stress is weighing you down, motivation feels out of reach, or you’re looking for direction in setting meaningful goals, I’m here for you. Together, we’ll break down the barriers holding you back, shift negative thought patterns, and uplift your mindset. My goal is to empower you to rebuild confidence, cultivate healthy relationships, and step into a life of clarity and purpose. Don’t wait for change—let’s create it together. The life you deserve is within reach, and I’m ready to help you seize it!
I incorporate a range of therapeutic techniques but often draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my work. I tailor the CBT experience based on each individual’s needs, whether they’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, or depression. Understanding how your thoughts shape your emotions and behaviors is key to steering your life in the direction you desire. Think of your mind as a continuous film—you have the power to decide which scenes to pause, edit, or refine. Taking charge of your thoughts is like a director shaping a story, choosing which moments to rework and which to let go, ultimately creating a more intentional and fulfilling narrative for your life.

I appreciate Candyce as my therapist for allowing me and encouraging me to be my authentic self. I can always trust her to be honest with me. There are not a lot of people in my life who listen in a way to understand me and with Candyce I feel understood. Rebuilding trust in myself and other people wouldn't be possible if it weren't for therapy with Candyce.
