Anxiety that never switches off
The thoughts that won't turn off, the tight chest, the before-bed what-ifs. Anxiety is almost always part of the story — and it's workable.

You don't have to haveit all figured out —that's whereI come in.
Anxiety and burnout don't always look like falling apart — sometimes they look like doing everything right and still feeling exhausted. I'm Candice Beaton, LCSW, and I help people across California feel more steady, clearer, and more like themselves again.

This might be why you're here
You're carrying more than you let on.
Fine on the outside
You look capable and completely on top of it. Inside, you're running on empty — over-giving, over-extended, and quietly overwhelmed.
A life transition you didn't plan
A relationship shift, a loss, infertility, a new chapter that arrived before you were ready — and the stuck feeling that comes with it.
You want a therapy skills toolkit
Not just insight — real, evidence-based tools you can actually use when it counts.
The focus of my work
Anxiety is my specialty.
Anxiety has been the focus of my work for ten years — the thoughts that won't turn off, the tight chest, the before-bed what-ifs. I've seen how it shows up at work, in relationships, in parenthood, and in the quiet moments when everything is technically fine and you still can't relax.
This is what I do all day, and it's the work I'm best at.
How I see it
“Change starts when you stop trying to do it perfectly — and start trusting yourself instead.”
— Candice Beaton, LCSW
01
Human first
You're a person, not a diagnosis. The work goes deeper when you feel genuinely comfortable and understood — so that's where we start.
02
Practical and usable
Insight matters, and so does knowing what to do with it. Much of our work is building skills you can carry into your real, busy life — so you leave each session with something to hold onto, not just something to think about.
03
Evidence-based
Ten years of clinical work and proven methods — CBT, DBT, ACT, and MBSR — tailored to you. Real training behind real results.
Ways to work together

She challenges me in the best ways — usually around putting myself first and learning to meet my own needs. I look forward to every session and feel lighter each time I leave.
She teaches me skills I can practice outside our appointments — it's like I have a pocket therapist everywhere I go. I cannot recommend her enough.
From the very first session, I felt a genuine connection and a trust that let me open up without hesitation. I wholeheartedly recommend Candice to anyone.
