About Candace Marshall MA CCC:

It is my belief and practice that you, the client, deserve to know something about the therapist you choose to work with. In that vein, here is a bit about me.

I am Certified Clinical Counsellor (CCC; Registration #12031) in my 6th year of private practice. Since graduating with my Masters degree in 2013, I continue to work with adults including men, women, the LGBTQ community, veterans and first responders from various cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds. In addition to working with people that have more common psychological concerns (e.g., such as depression, anxiety and self-esteem, life transition), I continue to develop an expertise working with the LGBTQ issues, Veteran`s reintegration and individuals who have experienced various types of trauma (e.g., interpersonal trauma, war, natural disasters, ritualistic abuse) and who are affected by Post-Traumatic Stress and Dissociative Disorders.

In life, we all need a little help from our friends.

In professional practice, I hold these experiences and supportive relationships close to my heart when working with clients. Based on evidence based research and my own clinical experience, a good therapeutic relationship, regardless of therapist orientation or approach used, is one of the most salient ingredients in positive client outcomes. For this reason, it is my practice to be fully authentic within the framework of the therapeutic alliance. Clients have described me as: understanding and empathetic; strong, patient, kind, caring and personable; nonjudgmental; void of pretension and airs, genuine and, simple in my approach.

I continue to be humbled when a client invites me into their life. For me, it is truly an honor to be part of someone`s healing journey. When a client feels heard and understood, often signals a first step towards healing and change.
