About Us
Fostering a Culture of Care
The Candeo Counseling Center exists to foster a culture of care in the Cedar Valley and beyond by providing Christ-centered, clinically-informed counseling, consultation, and training.
Created fearfully and wonderfully
Our counselors look at everything through the framework of the story of God as revealed in the Bible. No matter who you are, we believe you have great value as an individual made in the image of God.
We believe you have profound beauty — created fearfully and wonderfully. This foundational truth shapes every conversation, every session, and every relationship we build with those who walk through our doors.
We Believe Ultimate Hope and Healing is Found in God's Redeeming Grace
We believe God speaks words of grace, truth, and hope. His words are recorded for us in the Scriptures and work on our behalf. As counseling staff, we align ourselves with God's transcendent truth and wisdom as the very foundation of our counseling ministry — supporting clients to apply the Gospel to the deepest parts of their lives.
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made."
PSALM 139:13-14
What Guides Us
Grace & Compassion
Every person who enters our doors is met with unconditional grace. We create a safe, non-judgmental space where healing can begin.
Patient Presence
Transformation takes time. We walk alongside you through every season, offering steady support for lasting change and growth.
Whole-Person Care
We address the needs of mind, body, and soul — understanding that true healing encompasses every dimension of your being.
Our work is shaped by deeply held beliefs about faith, healing, and the sacred worth of every person who seeks our care.
Working Closely with Churches in Our Community
We believe the most effective context for long-term, lasting transformation is the local church. We understand that pastors and church leaders often wrestle with how to provide the best soul-care possible for those in their congregation.
We know there are often circumstances that require more specific and specialized care. Therefore, one of the most important things we do is develop strong partnerships with local churches throughout the Cedar Valley and surrounding communities.
Advocate Model
Clients can invite a trusted advocate — a friend, family member, or church leader — to walk alongside them.
Shared Mission & Values
We share a similar mission, vision, and values with the churches we partner with for trusted referrals.
Consultation & Training
We offer consultation and training to help churches strengthen their own care ministries.
