Kandiss VanCoppenolle joined Still Waters Counseling as a Master of Social Work intern in September of 2017. Her educational background consists of a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work, both earned through Spring Arbor University. Upon completion of the MSW program requirements, Kandiss was hired as a full-time staff member.

Although most of her training was focused primarily on trauma and attachment, Kandiss also has experience working with those who suffer from depression, anxiety, grief and loss, substance abuse, relationship problems (including codependency), mood disorders, eating disorders, personality disorders, and existential dilemmas. She also has a strong background in behavioral crisis intervention and in working with the aging population. Kandiss intervenes with an eclectic approach, utilizing various techniques. Consistently working from a strengths perspective, she could be described as a “high-mood therapist”. Psycho-education, motivational interviewing, narrative, cognitive- behavioral, and person-centered therapies are the models which Kandiss seems to integrate into practice most commonly. Although the afore mentioned therapies have proven favorable in helping others achieve an improved quality of life, Kandiss herself desires to keep helping herself growing and take care of her well being through lifelong education and innovations within the mental health field.

Providing a safe-haven for those afflicted with any one or more of the previously mentioned conditions is what Kandiss is most passionate about. She strives to offer support, hope and empathy to those in need, as they journey through their troubled times into the states of acceptance, remission and ultimately, a place of healing.
