Kandace Carlin, LMHC

Counseling Style

Kandace is a licensed mental health counselor, dedicated to helping individuals and couples foster emotional well-being, strengthen their relationships, and navigate life’s challenges with confidence. With a warm, grounded presence, she creates an inclusive and culturally responsive therapeutic environment where clients from all backgrounds feel respected, understood, and empowered. Kandace believes meaningful healing happens when people feel truly seen, and she works collaboratively to ensure that therapy honors each client’s cultural identity, sexuality, lived experiences, and personal values in a safe, supportive space

Experience

Kandace received her Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling in 2020 and uses a range of therapeutic techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, art therapy, and trauma-informed practices. Kandace approaches therapy through a lens that recognizes how culture, family systems, and social context shape mental health and relationships. She is committed to affirming diverse identities—including racial and ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+ experiences, and blended family systems—while ensuring that treatment aligns with each client’s worldview. She supports adolescents, adults, and couples dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, communication issues, stress, major life transitions, and trauma. Her work integrates practical skill-building with deeper emotional insight, helping clients strengthen connection, improve emotional regulation, and develop healthier patterns of interaction within themselves and in their relationships.
