McCandless Counseling Services, LLC

I believe the most effective therapists are those that are genuine, caring and always put their clients needs first. I have over 10 years of experience working with Addiction, Mental Health, and Families. I pride myself in being honest, trustworthy, patient, dedicated, compassionate, insightful, organized, personable, and optimistic. My desire to deeply understand problems, situations, and people led me to pursue a career as a Professional Counselor which I embrace to this day and take great pride in. Being a part of a person's transformation and helping them to become better versions of themselves is truly inspiring. My confidence that change is possible is inspiring and motivating for my clients. A solution-focused approach to change is appreciated by many and attention to measurable goals and progress helpful. My clients find it easy to connect with me and feel comfortable sharing their stories. My sensitivity and care create a safe space conducive to honest expression of ideas and feelings. I put forth great effort in facilitating growth in my clients. I often use stories, examples, and analogies to explain hard-to-grasp concepts, emphasize a particular point, or expand my clients' thinking.
