Great to meet you!

My name is Candice Poland and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and Certified Substance Abuse Counselor. I have a background working with adults who struggle with addictions, traumatic experiences, boundary setting in relationships, and children who have autism. I also offer Christian faith-based counseling for those who want to incorporate faith in their journey of healing and resiliency. My aim is to shine a light to the hope needed while healing, and help you navigate difficult seasons of life.

My approach to therapy

I create a compassionate space where your story can be heard, your burden can be shared, and I will walk alongside you in your healing journey. I use trauma-informed care, CBT, and DBT while working with clients collaboratively to form purposeful goals that contribute to lasting change. Healing is not a linear process and I will meet you where you feel comfortable at.

What you can expect from me

I am here to provide a supportive, safe environment where you can feel heard and validated. I will collaborate with you to explore realistic, manageable steps that can be used in difficult seasons. In the first session I focus on understanding what you would like to gain from therapy and building a therapeutic alliance to start walking toward positive growth. Over time we will measure positive changes and adjust goals as needed.
