Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 13 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I believe that prioritizing your mental health is key to finding happiness and stability in life. I know that reaching out for support can be one of the hardest steps.

Welcome -as a licensed clinical social worker, I believe prioritizing mental health is the key to success and happiness. Congratulations in taking the first step to a happier and fulfilled life. I've been practicing for 26 years working with all populations.
Hi, I'm Candance a licensed clinical social worker and I believe that everyone has a story, and everyone has a journey. Each story is unique and each journey is individualized. Helping others build on their strengths, overcome and reach their full potential is not just my career but a calling and a gift. Creating a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental space is essential to the healing process. I reserve that space for you. When I am not helping others, I enjoy watching sports, traveling, and spending time with family.
Hello, thanks for stopping by. I’m here to offer a calm, compassionate space where you can finally start to feel understood. I know life can be complicated, especially when you're navigating Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, or Autism. My goal is to help you (or your child, age 5+) manage these challenges and discover a path toward feeling more at ease and confident.
What Makes Working With Me Different? My journey to becoming a counselor didn't start in an office; it started the day I was born. Growing up as one of eleven children, I was fortunate to have many siblings with special needs—including siblings with Autism, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety and Learning Disabilities. This taught me something invaluable: true, deep patience, kindness, and compassion.
For over 20 years, I honed this understanding as both a High School Counselor and Special Education teacher.
Since I offer teletherapy only, you can start your journey to feeling better from the comfort of your own home. Our first session together is simple: it’s all about getting to know each other. We’ll talk about what brought you here, your goals, and what a "good day" looks like for you. It’s a low-pressure conversation where you can feel safe and heard.
Ready to Connect?
I truly care about helping you feel your best, and I’ve got the patience and experience to see you through it. If you’re ready to start finding that inner calm, I encourage you to reach out.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Lafayette, LA
Searching for therapists in Lafayette starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Lafayette therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match your needs. Bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Lafayette, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger metro areas, so virtual therapy can expand your choices across Louisiana. Some people prefer a nearby office in Lafayette, Broussard, Duson, or Scott, while others choose virtual sessions that fit more easily into their schedule. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist structures sessions and communicates with people they support.
Therapy in Lafayette can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. Headway connects you with licensed therapists who are accepting new patients, with many accepting a wide range of insurance plans. You can filter by location, insurance, specialty, availability, and virtual or in-person care, then review bios and book directly when you’re ready.
