Candice Dow MA, NCC, LPC

As a counselor, it is my passion to foster supportive, grounded and non-judgmental therapeutic relationships. My goal is to encourage insight and connection. I have a wide range of experience working with diverse individuals and I value inclusivity, advocacy and allyship of all gender identities, sexual orientations, cultural backgrounds and life experiences. It is my hope to stand next to you as you navigate your own unique life experiences. Whether you are seeking to gain a better understanding of your personal journey or are hoping to tackle specific obstacles, I would be honored to help you navigate your personal growth and development.

I specialize in working with clients aged 16+ who are motivated to do this hard yet rewarding work. Some topics I enjoy working on are boundaries, perfectionism, people-pleasing, trauma, identity, gender, sexuality, and interpersonal relationship dynamics. I am particularly passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ and other marginalized groups. I believe we can all thrive with the right support systems, productive self-awareness, and healthy boundaries.

As you begin this journey, the most important thing to me is that you have a good experience with the therapeutic world. In order to do that it is essential to establish a solid therapeutic foundation. By working with someone you feel you can build safety and trust with this is a great first step. Although it may be daunting, I typically recommend scheduling consultations with at least 3 therapists to see how each one feels and then decide who you felt the most connection with. This is an investment in you and your future so setting the stage for a successful relationship will put you at an advantage!
