About
Candice
Therapist. Facilitator. Speaker. Community Builder.
Hi, I'm Candice!
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, speaker, youth development professional, wife, and mother of four.
For more than 20 years, I've worked alongside youth, families, and communities helping people navigate life's challenges and discover their strengths. My professional journey began in community and youth development before expanding into mental health therapy, where I now help individuals and families heal, communicate more effectively, and create healthier relationships.
As a Black woman, first generation college graduate, daughter of a teen mother, and community advocate, I understand the power of resilience. I also understand that survival and healing are not the same thing.
Through therapy, workshops, speaking engagements, and educational programs, my mission is to help people move beyond simply getting through life and begin building emotionally healthy lives that can impact future generations.
Whether I'm working with a woman learning to set boundaries, a family navigating change, or a room full of teenagers developing life skills, my goal remains the same:
To help people heal, grow, and thrive.
But there’s more to me than my resume.
I’m a wife to my college sweetheart and mother of 4 children: 3 girls and a boy of all different ages and stages. I will speak candidly about my experience to anyone who can (and needs to) listen. I am a continuous learner and love to share resources with others.
I am not only personally connected to the challenges of as a mom and wife, but I am also living the experience as Black woman and servant leader within communities in need. I connect with, and gain, the trust of my clients with my warm and open nature. I am strengths-focused and love to celebrate what makes others unique. I love to convene and I love to connect people.
I started Power of Our Healing, LLC because of my own experience growing up in a community with limited resources to mental wellness. I am the daughter of a teen mother, who overcame a world of obstacles to raise successful children. I am also a first generation college graduate and first to raise a family beyond my home state. Leading a different life than what I knew, I noticed the need of mental health services and education for not only , as it was not a part of my upbringing.
Growing up, community means the world to me and it shows in much of what I do. The generations before made me who I am today, and we have to find ways to honor our past or current experiences, even if it wasn't or hasn't been a field of flowers. Our experience is unique and though there is joy, we have to address the pain. This is where healing begins.
