Lisa Galles-Candelaria, LPCC, LPC 

Becoming a therapist always felt like a no-brainer for me—helping people, standing up for what’s right, and constantly learning? Heck yes. I’m all about guiding people as they figure out their shit, reconnect with what actually matters, and find a way forward that feels right for them. Therapy isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about creating a space where you can explore, grow, and, let’s be real, sometimes just survive the chaos of life. And I’m honored to be part of that process.

At the core of my work is the belief that compassion and connection can change everything. I’m especially passionate about making therapy accessible to folks who’ve been shut out or overlooked. This isn’t just a job for me—it’s a way to help people heal, get unstuck, and move toward the life they actually want. Every person I work with brings something different to the table, which keeps me learning, evolving, and staying on top of the best ways to support you.

There’s nothing better than watching someone step into their own power—whether that’s healing from past trauma, managing anxiety, or just figuring out how to be okay in a world that sometimes feels like a dumpster fire. Being part of that transformation? That’s where I find my purpose.

When I’m not in session, you’ll find me hanging out with my husband, my dogs, and my chickens (yep, chickens!), kicking a soccer ball around, or just doing nothing. I’m all about growth, connection, and healing—and I’m here to cheer you on every step of the way as you dive into your own journey. Let’s make it happen!
