Life can present challenges that feel overwhelming, and even the strongest individuals sometimes need support to navigate through them. Whatever challenges or issues you are facing, there is hope for a brighter tomorrow.
Founder and Therapist | Empower Psychotherapy
Welcome — I’m Candace Bennett, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and founder of Empower Psychotherapy. My passion lies in helping individuals and couples navigate the complexities of healing, relationships, and personal growth. I believe that every person holds the capacity for change, and that with the right support, healing can become a deeply transformative experience.
I specialize in working with women’s issues, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges, including couples navigating disconnection, conflict, and trust concerns. My approach is compassionate yet direct, helping clients gain insight into emotional patterns while developing practical tools for resilience and connection.
In my work with couples, I integrate principles from Imago Relationship Therapy, Gottman Method, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help partners communicate more effectively, rebuild trust, and cultivate emotional intimacy. I also draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based approaches, and Solution-Focused techniques to guide individual clients toward greater emotional balance and self-awareness.
At the heart of my practice there is a deep respect for the courage it takes to face pain and vulnerability. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can feel seen, understood, and supported as they work toward healing from past wounds and creating a more fulfilling present.
“Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do.” — Brené Brown
At Empower Psychotherapy, my mission is to help clients move from survival to empowerment—to transform pain into purpose and reconnect with their sense of self and possibility. Whether you’re struggling with emotional distress, relationship challenges, or the lingering effects of trauma, I’m here to walk alongside you with empathy, insight, and hope.
If you’re ready to begin your healing journey, I invite you to contact me today to schedule a consultation. Together, we can create meaningful change and help you rediscover the strength within.
