Candace Bendele, Ph.D, LMFT, BCBA-D, LBA

I am a licensed therapist with several years experience providing mental health and behavior health services to children and adolescents. I have a multitude of experience with children as young as 2 and also with children with developmental disabilities, including Autism Spectrum Disorder. I have developed a strong understanding, rapport, and therapeutic relationship with adolescents and children of varying ages, and their families, to provide the appropriate interventions to improve a variety of issues ranging from trauma, loss and grief, anxiety, depression, relationships, custody/divorce, and domestic violence. I use the appropriate therapy approach to help your child help themselves and develop a strong sense of self by discovering the root cause of the issue, concern, or problem in a comfortable, supportive, and safe environment. We will identify effective tools and coping skills to achieve your child's goals for personal growth to be able to handle whatever comes their way. The plan will lead your child and family to a happier and more successful life within a reasonable timeframe.
