Dr. Candi Kizer is, without question, one of the most exceptional counselors I’ve had the privilege of working with. Her thoughtful approach, deep insight, and unwavering professionalism have made a lasting impact on my personal growth and recovery. I have been fortunate to remain under her care since her time at her previous office. Although I was briefly assigned to another counselor, the connection and effectiveness simply didn’t compare. Dr. Kizer consistently meets me where I am mentally (and even on a spiritual level when necessary) without overdoing it, offering practical tools and compassionate support that truly make a difference.

Efficient process for booking initial appointment and choosing a practitioner. The cool thing is the practitioner schedules follow up appointments so there's no extra work involved. No more calling the front office to make additional appointments. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I'm feeling better already!

I was able, for the first time in my life, receive EMDR for chronic ptsd. My caring counselor helped me to feel like a part of the human race after being raised by a narcissist along with my only sister a narcissist as well. I didn’t stand a chance.
