Therapy is often a first step to discovering answers to questions we have about ourselves by providing us the safe space we need to share, gain insight through an objective and non-judgmental perspective, and make drastic changes for the better so I encourage and commend you in taking this step! My name is Candace and I've been working as a mental health professional since 2018 and I have worked with children (ages 8 & up), teens, and adults experiencing various struggles such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and trauma. In recent years my practice has been largely focused on women's issues and processing trauma.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama, Colorado, and New Jersey with a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University. I feel honored to work with adults 45 and older, supporting them through life transitions and the deep challenges of grief. My style is compassionate and collaborative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Impact Therapy, and person-centered counseling. Together, we focus on building coping skills, strengthening resilience, and creating meaningful change so you can move forward with hope and confidence.
I have been a counselor for more than 30 years. I remain passionate about making a difference in the lives of others and believe that genuine caring is an essential element to an effective counseling relationship. Over the years I have worked with clients with significant trauma and loss. I consider it a privilege to stand with another individual as he or she resolves great pain. I specialize in treating clients with trauma, relationship issues, and borderline personality disorder.
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and strengths based. I focus on creating a space where you feel safe, welcomed, and able to be yourself without fear of judgment. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, stress, life changes, or personal challenges, I work alongside you to understand what’s most important and support you in moving toward meaningful growth and lasting change.
I am Tony Gunn, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am also a Substance Abuse Professional and a board certified transgender care therapist. I value connection, trust, and respect.
I work with adults, teens, families, and couples. My focus areas include LGBTQIA+ clients, gender nonconforming clients, transgender care, sexual health concerns, trauma, grief, mood concerns, and major life transitions.
You receive care grounded in empathy, cultural awareness, and collaboration. Sessions center on clear goals, practical skills, and meaningful insight. I create a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood without judgment.
I provide services through in-person and telehealth settings. My approach blends evidence-based practice with care shaped around your needs, values, and lived experience. My goal centers on supporting clarity, stability, and long-term well-being through an affirming therapeutic relationship.
I provide teletherapy for teens, adults, couples, and families, specializing in anxiety and depression. With experience across a wide range of mental health challenges, I offer compassionate, goal-oriented support tailored to you. My mission is to help you overcome obstacles and reach your fullest potential—on your schedule and in your own space.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who specializes in working with adolescents, teens, and young people navigating emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. Many of the teens and families I support are dealing with anxiety, depression, anger outbursts, defiance, low self-esteem, school stress, peer conflict, family tension, and difficulty managing big emotions. Parents often come to me feeling overwhelmed, unsure how to help, or concerned about changes in behavior, mood, or communication at home.
I believe healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and understood. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where young people can safely express themselves, build trust, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop a stronger sense of identity and self-worth. My work also focuses on helping families improve communication, reduce conflict, rebuild connection, and create more stable, supportive relationships at home. My goal is to help teens feel more confident and families feel more connected.
I’m an independently licensed therapist in Alabama, and my background includes working full-time as a substance use counselor while also providing evening virtual therapy. I especially enjoy working with teens and adults, and I’m drawn to this work because I believe therapy should help people feel more free, more grounded, and more like themselves again. It means a lot to me when someone trusts me with the parts of their life that feel messy, painful, or overwhelming. I want therapy to feel like a space where you can be honest, feel respected, and begin building real momentum toward the life you want.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who believes that healing happens best in spaces that are safe, honest, and non-judgmental. I work with those who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the effects of trauma.
My approach is collaborative and practical. We will focus on understanding what’s showing up in your life, identifying patterns that may be holding you back, and developing tools you can use in real-world situations. I don’t believe in perfection—I believe in progress.
Clients often describe me as direct, supportive, and easy to talk to. I meet you where you are while also helping you move toward where you want to be. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for something different, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right addiction counselor for you
Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Mobile
Finding addiction therapists in Mobile starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, prescription drug concerns, gambling, compulsive behaviors, and related stress or relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want help with, such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.
Mobile offers a range of local counseling options, and virtual appointments can give you more ways to find a therapist whose schedule, approach, and experience fit. Recovery can involve progress, setbacks, and changing goals, so it helps to look for a therapist who describes a nonjudgmental approach and experience with harm reduction or substance use concerns. Before booking, read therapist bios closely to understand how they structure sessions, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in Mobile can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for addiction therapists in Mobile, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, compare therapist profiles, and book directly when you’re ready. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your specific plan on Headway before booking.
