Candace Kieffer, LMHC

Licensed in: New York
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Years of Experience: 5 Years

My career began in medicine, where I recognized an unmet need for comprehensive mental health care. This realization inspired me to pursue a role in mental health services, with a focus on addressing issues such as trauma, ADHD, Autism, Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), anxiety, and depression.

I believe in a person-centered, and strengths-based approach that recognizes each person as individual and unique. As such our treatment plan will be tailored to meet your specific needs. 

Mental health is just as important as physical health and must be addressed with equal care and attention.
