We believe everyone deserves a quiet place to be heard. The practice is one counselor, so the person you meet first is the person you keep working with.
Your counselor
Licensed professional counselor
Candace sees adults one-on-one, in person in Portland and by video for clients in Oregon. She explains each method before she uses it, and she lets you set the pace.
Clinical Standards
Care at Grove comes from a licensed professional counselor, and the license line is in the footer of every page.
Counseling is provided by a licensed professional counselor, and the board that licenses her is named in the footer.
We use cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy, and your counselor explains each one before using it.
We keep your records private and share them only as the law allows. We explain the limits to confidentiality in your first session.
Our Values
These values shape how clients are welcomed, understood, and supported at Grove.
We bring clinical perspective while respecting your experience, choices, and inner knowledge.
Some weeks are easier than others. Rest, setbacks and starting again are part of the work, without judgment.
We explain our approach, invite questions, and make decisions about care together.
We discuss scheduling and available fee options clearly so you can make an informed choice.
A respectful therapeutic relationship creates the foundation for meaningful work.
Every identity, background, and reason for seeking support is treated with care.

“The office feels like a place you are allowed to slow down in. I felt welcome from the first visit.”
