Therapists in Clark County, WA

Oregon residents ONLY at this time! Beginning in March 2024, I will be taking clients wanting clinical supervision for licensure! Get on the wait list now! Underneath whatever label is put on the "disorder de jour", my clients have one thing in common: they are all in pain & living with uncomfortable emotions. Depression taking their joy, anxiety keeping them up at night... sometimes its marital issues, struggling with the loneliness or recovering from major life transitions. I can help guide you through your pain by helping you learn ways to manage emotions while growing toward YOUR idea of your "best" self.

My passion is helping people achieve personal growth. Life throws at us a series of curveballs. At times we feel stuck and unsure how to make it to the other side of these challenges whether they are due to a life change such as marriage, divorce, new career, trauma, grief and loss or a host of other difficulties. With over 25 years in the counseling field, I have learned that people are individuals who do not fit into one mold. I employee a variety of techniques and approaches to fit your individual needs. Change starts within the therapeutic relationship. Compassion, humor and warmth assist in creating this relationship.

I enjoy working with individuals who have experienced scary or stressful childhood experiences and would like a safe space to process those experiences. Sometimes those experiences turn into mood disorders, PTSD, anxiety, or failure to thrive in relationships. I am interested in helping guide you to working through these struggles and finding peace in your life. I also enjoy working with couples who feel disconnected in their relationships and would like a new direction with their partner.

Welcome! People usually find psychotherapy when their old ways of coping no longer work and they get stuck in dysfunctional patterns or relationships. Therapy is a place where you can increase insight into those patterns, develop new tools and have more fulfilling relationships. I am a multi-faceted practitioner who believes in meeting people where they are at, and building on the strengths and resources that you already possess. It is possible to find joy in the darkest of places.

I am accepting new patients, adults and teenagers, for online Telehealth Therapy.

I create a warm and comfortable environment that allows patients to feel safe, open, and ready to change. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment therapy during each session and weave in other techniques and theories such as Internal Family Systems, and more as needed.

You can overcome your emotional difficulties and become your best self. Change the things about yourself that you want to change and move toward becoming the person that you want to be. The secret of making lasting change is to acknowledge and accept that real change takes time and patience. There is no magic wand, change takes work, and commitment. It doesn’t matter where you are, what matters is where you can grow. Begin your journey toward wellness and strength by taking the first step.

My name is Alexis Candelier, and I am a Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.). I was born and raised in the Greater Portland Metro area and returned to the Pacific Northwest 2 years ago after spending years in Los Angeles, CA attending graduate school and practicing in the field of forensic mental health. Prior to completing my education, I was a Military Police Officer serving in the United States Marine Corps (ooh-rah!), so I take pride in being able to serve my fellow first responders and all the Veterans struggling to make it as a “civilian” in these trying and unprecedented times in a culturally competent and supportive manner.
