Candace Rodgers, MSW, LCSW, CCTP II

My mental health therapist journey began in 2003 by working in a funeral home as a director, working closely with families experiencing grief and trauma. I transitioned from funeral service to a physicians office and quickly noted the impact that physical conditions on mental health. I received my Masters of Social Work in 2020 three months after Covid shut down the country. I was able to bear witness to how isolation affects our mental health and feel blessed to have experienced this alongside my clients.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I provide compassionate, trauma-informed care for both adults and children. My practice specializes in a multi-faceted integration therapy approach, blending Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting, Play Therapy, and Sand Tray Therapy to help clients of all ages process and heal from complex experiences. As a Certified Trauma Professional, I understand that trauma can be difficult to express using words alone. By integrating these specialized modalities, I tailor my practice to meet the unique developmental and emotional needs of every individual, providing a safe, symbolic, and sensory-rich environment to help clients achieve lasting healing and integration.

My training and certifications include Play therapy, sand tray therapy, art based modalities, Narcissistic abuse, Intimate partner violence, EMDR and somatic work, EMDR and disordered eating, EFIT for couples, Brainspotting for Developmental Trauma, Brainspotting for financial stress, Traumatic Stress Studies, Grief Therapy, and Grief therapy across the lifespan. I blend the trainings and learning to follow the individual I am sitting with to assist them with moving to a growth mindset.
