Getting to know Dr. Candice Schaefer

Struggling with emotions that control and confine your life? I offer counseling for adults in a safe and relaxed atmosphere that helps you explore and understand your emotions while teaching practical skills to gain a better sense of control. My clients describe me as warm, down-to-earth, and comforting. I've helped numerous people who once thought of themselves as “broken” reach a place where they can believe in themselves and take the driver's seat with their thoughts and emotions. As a therapist, I use a variety of tools and techniques to support your treatment, starting with identifying your strengths and values that guide your everyday life. Our relationship is a collaboration focused on your goals. Ultimately, I aim to teach you how to become your own therapist by increasing your awareness of behavioral patterns and providing practical techniques to correct unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy to address symptoms, but also incorporate other therapies as appropriate, such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). I also work with couples using the Gottman Method and elements of CBT, with a special interest in inter-racial and inter-cultural couples. While I work with individuals from all backgrounds, I have extensive experience with Military Veterans, Corporate Executives, and Tech Industry Employees. I currently serve as an Adjunct Instructor for NYU's Counseling and Wellness Master's Degree Program. I earned my PhD and Master's in Counseling Psychology from the University of Kansas.
