Candice Smith

I am a dedicated therapist with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Texas A&M University and over 20 years of military service as a Behavioral Health Technician. I am an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, a National Certified Counselor (NCC), and EMDR-trained clinician. My clinical focus includes working with veterans and military families, PTSD, sexual trauma, LGBTQIA+ concerns, consensual non-monogamy and open relationships, infidelity recovery, depression, anxiety, and relational distress. My approach is collaborative, personalized, and grounded in evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and mindfulness-based interventions. I strive to create an affirming, culturally responsive, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where individuals can reclaim personal agency, strengthen self-worth, and deepen self-compassion. I also work with couples to navigate intimacy, repair trust, and cultivate meaningful emotional and sexual connection. In our work together, you can expect a safe, respectful space where your thoughts, emotions, and experiences are explored with curiosity and care. I prioritize building a strong therapeutic alliance, as trust and connection are foundational to lasting change. If you are ready to move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life or relationship, I welcome the opportunity to walk alongside you in that process.
