Hello, I am Kandice Casillas, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I believe that the client is the expert in their life while I am a helper in understanding and making connections with the unknown. My areas of focus are trauma, depression, anxiety, communication, boundaries, self-acceptance, and self-compassion. I use a collection of Attachment-Based, Solution Focus, Narrative, CBT, Compassion Focused, and Client Centered approaches. I like to start with the basics of understanding the client's needs, finding coping skills that work, and then diving into the real problem at hand.I am looking to work with adults who are seeking support. I am comfortable working with clients who experienced difficulty in their marriage/relationships, trouble using assertive communication to say what they want or need, anger outbursts, shame/guilt, etc... These problems and more can lead to depression and anxiety which I would love to explore.I am assertive and compassionate with my clients. I like to listen and make room for my clients to speak or vent if needed. I also like to model assertive communication and healthy boundaries to help my clients set their own with others. I will challenge rigid boundaries to help my clients think outside the box.
