Virtual & in-person • Georgetown, TX


Storms of life come to us in all kinds of ways. Like an unexpected Texas hail storm pounding us with stress and shattering our lives; or a tornado of change uprooting all that was once familiar; or perhaps a seemingly small gust of difficulty which swirls our lives around until we no longer have a sense of direction. We are in uncertain times which often creates waves of doubt and amplifies our fears as we question the future. Yet in the midst of the chaos there can be a sense of calm. I’ve been honored to walk the path of healing with those struggling in addiction, trauma, grief, loss and relationship challenges. With a background in psychology as well as recreation, I use proven methods of Counseling to empower strength in discovering a sense of purpose through clearing of the mind, restoration of the body and joy in the spirit. It takes courage to change and face the storms of life. I look forward to joining you in your journey and helping you turn the tides of your storm into hope and healing.

Candice Herrera

Candice Herrera

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Hi, I'm Candice Herrera, Licensed ProfessionalCounselor and owner of Artesian Counseling Group, PLLC. I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling from Wayland Baptist University and have been practicing therapy for the past four years.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and emotional overwhelm. Much of my work centers around helping clients recognize and heal from generational trauma—the patterns, beliefs, and survival strategies that are often passed down through families without anyone intending to.

As a therapist, I understand that many people,especially millennials and people of color, have spentyears carrying responsibilities, expectations, or emotional burdens that were never truly theirs to hold. You may be the one who always has it together, the cycle breaker in your family, or the person everyonedepends on while quietly struggling yourself. Therapy offers a space where you don't have to carry thatweight alone.

I strive to create a space where you feel seen, respected, and accepted exactly as you are. My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself, heal from what's been weighing you down, and build a life that reflects who you are, not just who you've had to be.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. I've been in the social work field for over 17 years, working case management services but the last 10 years, my professional focus includes working with adults living with Substance Use Disorders and other co-occurring disorders such as anxiety and depression. Outside of work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I value balance, lifelong learning, and meaningful connections. I believe these experiences help me stay grounded and present in both my personal and professional life.

Something that stands out in regard to me is that I have gathered some valuable wisdom over the years from many excellent mentors and life experience as an educator, vocational ministry, raising my own family, and having worked with many gifted and compassionate people.

My clients describe me as understanding ("getting them as individuals"), caring and collaborative , and a safe place to share what they need to share.
