Candace (Candy) Pendergraft

Candy offers an integrative, trauma-informed approach to healing for women, teens, and young adults. She primarily supports individuals navigating anxiety, complex trauma, identity exploration, life transitions, and relational patterns.

Her approach is culturally responsive, systems-aware, and continually evolving through a progressive lens of trauma-informed and decolonizing care. This therapeutic style blends evidence-based practices with holistic and somatic awareness. Meeting each client where they are, Candy creates a space where clients feel seen and supported as they cultivate emotional safety, regulate their nervous systems, and reconnect with their inner wisdom and natural capacity for healing.

She also brings lived familiarity with diverse intersecting identities, various spiritual traditions and frameworks, neurodivergence, and parenting, which allows her to support clients seeking a therapist who understands the intersection of identity, culture, and personal development. Candy also has a background in holistic healing practices, including shamanic Reiki and past life regression, deepening her respect for the ways healing can unfold across emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions.
