Great to meet you!

Hello, I am Candace Hoversten, MSW, LICSW. I bring a lot of passion to what I do in connection with others. I provide therapy from a feminist and multi-cultural perspective. You will quickly find my clinical approach to be relaxed, relatable, and professional.

I utilize a variety of regulation and relation-based interventions to address stress, trauma, depression, anxiety, and other conditions. I’m a science geek at heart and incorporate current research and science into everyday applications.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Things I talk about:

  • How the brain functions under stress
  • The mind-body connection
  • How all people are wired for connection
  • Healthy relationship dynamics
  • Self care (regulation)
  • Functional psychotherapy made accessible and translatable for everyone
  • How community and society impact our health and resilience

What you can expect from our first session

It is really important to me to offer transparency in our relationship. Transparency in what I am communicating, how I can help, ways I can't, the cost of care and accountability to your health goals.

I will always provide you with recommendations based on my education and clinical experience. And honor that you are the expert on your lived and embodied experiences. I am your health partner.
