Candice Smith, LCSW

Candice Smith is a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience in the field of social work. My educational background includes a Bachelors of Social Work from Mississippi Valley State University and a Masters of Social Work from Jackson State University. When life brings different challenges and experiences I try to help clients to find healthy perceptions, strengthen relationships, and ways to cope with an ever changing environment. My  passion is to strive to help plant the seed for change in the lives of children, youth, adults, and the elderly population and apply myself while goals are being achieved. Areas of expertise include: Children and adolescent behavioral issues, community mental health, life stresses, homelessness, and grief and loss.  I know that no single approach is the right one for every individual, and so I use various  treatment modalities to include, but not limited to, Strength Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy.
