CANDICE ARBESMAN, MSW, LCSW-C

Behavioral Health Specialist

I have 14 years of experience working with adults. My specialty is with the older adult population. I base my work as a therapist on the belief that a person has the capacity to change and grow regardless of their chronological age. I provide a holistic approach to therapy that is supportive, judgment-free, strength-based and solution-focused, geared towards the clients' identified goals and needs. I offer practical tools through psychotherapy and community resources, to help clients identify their strengths, recognize and build on past successes, and seek to guide a client to challenge any thinking and/or patterns that may block growth. Let’s focus on YOU!
