Hello, thanks for stopping by. I’m here to offer a calm, compassionate space where you can finally start to feel understood. I know life can be complicated, especially when you're navigating Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, or Autism. My goal is to help you (or your child, age 5+) manage these challenges and discover a path toward feeling more at ease and confident.

What Makes Working With Me Different? My journey to becoming a counselor didn't start in an office; it started the day I was born. Growing up as one of eleven children, I was fortunate to have many siblings with special needs—including siblings with Autism, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety and Learning Disabilities. This taught me something invaluable: true, deep patience, kindness, and compassion.

For over 20 years, I honed this understanding as both a High School Counselor and Special Education teacher.

Since I offer teletherapy only, you can start your journey to feeling better from the comfort of your own home. Our first session together is simple: it’s all about getting to know each other. We’ll talk about what brought you here, your goals, and what a "good day" looks like for you. It’s a low-pressure conversation where you can feel safe and heard.

Ready to Connect?

I truly care about helping you feel your best, and I’ve got the patience and experience to see you through it. If you’re ready to start finding that inner calm, I encourage you to reach out.

Hi, I'm Candance a licensed clinical social worker and I believe that everyone has a story, and everyone has a journey. Each story is unique and each journey is individualized. Helping others build on their strengths, overcome and reach their full potential is not just my career but a calling and a gift. Creating a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental space is essential to the healing process. I reserve that space for you. When I am not helping others, I enjoy watching sports, traveling, and spending time with family.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Metairie

Searching for therapists in Metairie starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which specialties match your needs. Some people look for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that align with what you want to work on. A therapist’s bio can also show their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families.

Metairie has local counseling options, but the number of nearby therapists may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual appointments can expand your options across Louisiana while still connecting you with a therapist licensed to provide care in the state. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand communication style, session structure, and what to expect.

Therapy in Metairie can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see your estimated cost before you book. You can browse therapists in Metairie, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
