Candice Mitchell , LMHC

Candice Mitchell is a trauma-informed Licensed Mental Health Counselor who supports adults coping with anxiety, depression, and the aftermath of trauma. She combines an understanding of Polyvagal Theory and Internal Family Systems to help clients settle the nervous system so deeper changes become possible. Many clients choose phone sessions because they report feeling safer in their bodies, less self-conscious, and better able to attend to internal experience.

Candice was drawn to this work after witnessing how quietly anxiety, trauma, and depression can disrupt sleep, relationships, confidence, and a basic sense of safety. She frequently encountered people who were doing their best yet remained overwhelmed or stuck, and she pursued trauma-informed private practice to help clients move beyond symptom management toward meaningful relief.

Her initial sessions move at a thoughtful, measured pace. Intake focuses on understanding what a person is carrying, how stress appears in body and mind, and what matters most right now. Emphasis is placed on building safety and trust first. Progress often shows up as anxiety becoming less consuming, emotional reactions softening, and a steadier sense of grounding in day-to-day life. Candice works best with adults seeking sustainable relief who are open to deeper healing at a respectful, manageable pace.

She holds the LMHC credential, which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and she maintains ongoing training in trauma-informed care, nervous system regulation, and body-based methods such as Polyvagal Theory and IFS.
