Candace Drummond

Hi, I’m Candace, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) with over seven years of experience providing therapy to adults and adolescents. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Maryland School of Social Work and specialize in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and identity-related stress. My approach is compassionate, culturally responsive, and focused on helping you heal, grow, and thrive. I believe therapy should be a safe, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to create meaningful change. Please note: I am currently not accepting clients with legal issues.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each person’s unique needs. I use an eclectic approach, drawing from evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based techniques. I support clients in exploring patterns, building coping tools, and working through the root causes of emotional distress. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, mood shifts, identity-related challenges, or major life transitions, I strive to create a safe and empowering space where you feel seen, supported, and capable of meaningful growth.

Clients can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental space where they feel heard, respected, and empowered. My goals include helping reduce anxiety and other distressing symptoms, increasing insight into mental health diagnoses, and equipping you with practical tools to manage challenges more effectively. We'll work together to build emotional balance, strengthen self-worth, and create lasting, meaningful change. Each session is a step toward healing, clarity, and feeling more in control of your life.
