I’m Candyce Braker, an LMFT based in Redding, CA. I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families heal from burnout, PTSD, stress injuries, emotional dysregulation, grief, substance misuse, and relational conflict. With close ties to multiple departments and nearly a decade of experience, I bring both advanced training and personal understanding to every session. As an Emergency Responder & Public Safety Certified Clinician (ERPSCC), I know the unique pressures that come with protecting and serving others. Our work together is trauma-informed, efficient, and deeply supportive. I’m advanced trained in EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)—approaches that reach the root of distress without requiring you to stay stuck in it. Many clients notice meaningful improvement in as few as 2–6 sessions. I also integrate CBT, DBT, and faith-based counseling when appropriate. Therapy with me is direct, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I believe in showing up as both a professional and a real person, creating space where you can do the same. Beyond the therapy room, I provide critical incident stress debriefings, lead post-trauma retreats for first responders, and mentor prelicensed therapists. Outside of work, I love time on the lake and occasionally performing stand-up comedy. Reach out today to schedule your free 15-minute consultation and take the first step toward healing. You’ve spent your life showing up for everyone else—now it’s your turn.
