About

Hi there, I'm Candice! Hello! My name is Candice Clayton and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 12 years of experience in mental health. I use a strength-based and solution-focused approach to support your personal growth and mental health journey. My approach I use strength-based, solution and trauma-focused approached to my work to ensure you reach your treatment goals in a way that you feel good and comfortable with. My focus I have a wide experience in the mental health field from children to adults to couples. I mainly treat adults and couples at this time who are going through various phases and changes in life. I treat trauma, anxiety, depression, infidelity, relationship issues, and imposter syndrome. My communication style I prefer a relaxed comfortable environment and feel in my sessions. I prefer you to feel comfortable like you are meeting up with a close friend and gaining some professional support and guidance along the way. My journey to therapy I saw the trauma that children can experience at the hands of the system, strangers, and even their own family and it drove me to get involved and try to make a difference. Many people experience things that have caused them hurt or harm and have not known how to heal and I just want to make that process a little bit easier for them by providing my services along their journey. My goals for you I will meet you where you are and together, we will begin there. My mantra is, "Wherever You Are, Put Down Roots & Start Growing" My first session with you During a first session, you should expect me to ask questions and listen a lot as you share so that we can decide if we are a good fit for each other. I will provide some feedback, encouragement, and praise that you are beginning this mental health journey for yourself as it is a big step.
