Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Candace Coates, LCSW, a licensed therapist in Wisconsin offering telehealth therapy for adults. With over 20 years of experience in mental health and health equity, I genuinely care about making sure every client feels heard and supported. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, workplace stress, and life transitions.

My approach to therapy

I take a warm, collaborative approach where you set the pace and we work together toward your goals. I focus on helping adults work through anxiety, depression, burnout, workplace stress, and major life transitions using practical, evidence-based strategies. Sessions are conversational and judgment-free; I meet you where you are and help you build the tools to move forward with more clarity and confidence. Therapy with me is less about having all the answers and more about figuring them out together.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is all about getting to know each other and making sure you feel comfortable. We will talk about what brought you to therapy, what has been weighing on you, and what you are hoping to get out of our work together. I will ask some questions to better understand your story, but there is no pressure to share anything you are not ready for. By the end of our first session, you will have a clearer sense of what our work together will look like and feel confident that you are in a supportive, judgment-free space.
