LICENSED
MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPIST (mfc 39377)
CERTIFICATED IN ART THERAPY
Candace English distinguished herself as a performing artist,
writer and director before turning to mental health work in her forties.
In addition to her award winning accomplishments as a student of traditional
Marriage, Family and Child Therapy, she also holds a Certificate in Art
Therapy and a Master of Fine Arts Degree in Music. Her experience in the
arts initially led Candace to a study of the various applications of art,
drama and music to psychotherapy. While not every client is seeking to
explore personal growth and relationship issues through an art experience,
her knowledge of expressive arts and imaginal processes are part of what
makes Candace English unique as a therapist and mentor. No matter what
the presenting issues may be, Candace brings to the experience of psychotherapy
a spirit of innovation and a mature, creative mind.
