Healing is here for you.

By addressing the underlying issues, we help couples break free from unhealthy patterns and develop a stronger, more resilient connection.

Childhood trauma can deeply affect how we relate to others as adults, often causing conflict in relationships. With compassionate, trauma-informed couples therapy, Candace Love, MA, LCSW helps partners understand how their past experiences shape current behaviors.

Together, we’ll work on communication, emotional intimacy, and developing a more resilient connection.

FAQS

  • At Clove Counseling, we believe therapy is for anyone and everyone: therapy helps us become more compassionate toward ourselves and those around us. My approach focuses on creating a safe and supportive environment where both partners can explore their pasts, understand how these experiences shape their current relationship dynamics, and work together to foster communication, trust, and emotional intimacy.

  • Most therapy sessions last for about one hour—but we have the option for Intensives, when the time surpasses 60 minutes toward 90 minutes or more.

  • My approach truly depends on the person in front of me. I believe in meeting clients where they are and doing the work collaboratively. I also see each client as an individual, so I will work with a client through the best framework for their individual needs, which may include Emotional Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Psychodynamic Theory. If other frameworks work best for the client, we will explore those at that time. My style also includes breathing exercises throughout the session when needed, as we all forget that breathing impacts our bodies and assists us through a mental health crisis moment.
