About

Candace Rodgers, MSW, LCSW

Do you wake up and find yourself stuck in memories of the past? Feeling unsafe to attach to others? Reacting in anger or fear instead of responding with compassion and understanding?
Reliving negative or traumatic experiences can lead to nightmares, sleep disruptions, anger, changes in appetite, anxiety, worry, and a pervasive negative view of yourself or others which can limit your ability to be productive and happy within your relationships. While it is impossible to eradicate the memory of the traumatic experience, it is not impossible to experience growth after trauma.

The human brain has the capacity to change throughout our lifetime. Negative experiences are most often present as strong neuropathways in the brain. However, the brain can change its attraction to negative pathways through the process of neuroplasticity using cognitive restructuring techniques including EMDR, Brainspotting and Neurofeedback.

The use of mind and body-based practices can assist a person to alter emotional reactions to negative memories. Just imagine how it would feel if you did not become angry, sad, or anxious
when exposed to a trauma trigger or negative memory! Post traumatic growth is not only possible…it is what you deserve.

About

Lien Nguyen, MSW Intern

As a dedicated MSW student with a passion for mental health, I am particularly drawn to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques. My goal is to support individuals who are navigating these challenges, helping them develop practical strategies for managing their thoughts and behaviors to achieve lasting change and healthier relationships. I am particularly interested in working with adults and young adults who are experiencing anxiety, trauma, or difficulties in their personal relationships. I am committed to creating a supportive and empathetic environment where clients feel safe to explore their struggles and work towards healing, personal growth, and building
healthier relationships.
 
I am excited to continue learning and growing in the field of mental health, and I am eager to apply my skills to support clients in their journey to make a positive impact in their lives.
