Candace Grahl

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 2 mi away • Murfreesboro, TN


If you feel like you don't quite recognize yourself anymore, mood swings that come out of nowhere, anxiety that wasn't there before, old wounds resurfacing you thought you'd already dealt with, you're not imagining it, and you're not alone in it. I work with women navigating the hormonal and identity shifts of midlife, including perimenopause and menopause, helping you understand what's happening beneath the surface so we can do more than just manage symptoms, and actually get to what's underneath them. I'm a licensed professional counselor (LPC-MHSP) in Tennessee with a master's in clinical mental health counseling and training in EMDR, DBT, CBT, EFT, and Motivational Interviewing. I bring experience from private practice, clinical roles in group practice, and residential treatment work for substance abuse."

Maybe you’re the person who holds everything together, but inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or exhausted from trying so hard to get things right. Or maybe parenting is bringing up emotions and patterns you never expected. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, ADHD, perfectionism, relationships, and parenting. I’m an EMDR-trained therapist, and I’ll help you understand what’s happening underneath—not just manage what shows up on the surface.
