Candice Farmer is a Virginia Beach, VA native with a strong affinity for the East Coast. From a young age, she’s been deeply curious about people, eager to understand their stories and walk alongside them through life’s challenges and joys. Her natural empathy and desire to see others flourish led her to pursue a career in counseling. After earning her Bachelor’s degree from Old Dominion University, Candice moved to Texas in 2012, where she completed her Master’s degree at Dallas Theological Seminary in 2015. With over a decade of clinical experience, she has worked in private practice, shelters, rehabilitation, and ministry settings.

Candice provides counseling to adults and couples, with a focus on relationship dynamics, grief and loss, and women’s health. She has experience addressing a broad range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, family-of-origin issues, unwanted and intrusive thoughts, trauma, spiritual struggles, and life transitions. As a Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) clinician Candice is particularly passionate about supporting women during vulnerable seasons of life. She helps them navigate challenges such as perinatal and postpartum mood disorders, infertility, sexual dysfunction, perimenopause, traumatic birth and loss, and body image issues.

In addition to individual counseling, Candice is dedicated to helping couples repair and strengthen their relationships. She has advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an evidence based model for couples rooted in attachment science, and is also Prepare Enrich Certified for pre-marital counseling. Candice is committed to helping her clients cultivate deeper more fulfilling connection with themselves and the important people in their lives.

Candice brings a warm, genuine, and down to earth energy to her work with clients. She collaborates with them to explore their experiences with curiosity, build self awareness, and identify patterns that may be holding them back. Her supportive, gentle presence fosters a safe environment where clients can take risks and feel empowered to grow. She considers it a privilege to be entrusted with her clients’ stories and is honored to be a part of their journey toward healing and change.

In her spare time, Candice enjoys exploring new places, especially the outdoors, dancing, and anywhere with live music! She can often be found practicing yoga, indulging in her hobby of interior design, reading through the stack of books on her nightstand, and connecting with her local church and community. Most of all, she loves quality time with her husband and two kids, Adalyn and Elijah.
