      <image:title>About Me - Candice Ster, LCSW</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am a native of Jacksonville, Fl and understand it’s unique challenges. I attended the University of Georgia, majoring in Psychology, and Florida State University receiving a Masters in Social Work. With twenty-five years of experience in psychotherapy, in the private and non-profit sectors, my experience includes River Region Human Services, Daniel Kids, and Duval County School Board. I started my own private practice 12 years ago. I have received specialty training in Applied Behavior Analysis, Addictions, and Family Systems. However, my passion lies in working with clients who are struggling with Anxiety, including, but not limited to: Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Specific Phobias, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Social Anxiety, Agoraphobia, Trichotillomania, and Body Dysmorphic Disorder. I enjoy working with clients who are struggling with life’s transitions, whether it be a relationship, career move, or change in phase of life. I help clients move from the ruminating style of thinking to healthier objective fact based thinking. I use family systems theory to help my client’s understand why they have certain repeating behavioral patterns and work to change them to more productive functioning. I also provide lots of boundary work to help my clients safeguard their island of trust., and learn where their responsibility ends and another begins. I work with all ages, ethnicities, and gender identities, but specialize in women’s issues . My client’s ages currently span from 5 years old to 85 years old. I have been married for almost 20 years and have 3 children, and a Peekapoo dog.</image:caption>
