I help people navigate:

• Values work + rebuilding identity

• Co-occuring mental illness (such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and eating disorders)

• Mixed faith marriage and relationship challenges

 

Hi, my name is Danielle Calder. I started Candid Counseling to provide therapy that is culturally competent in the complexity of how religion impacts mental health and relationships.

​

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and work with people living in California, Idaho, and Utah.

​

I grew up as a faithful and devout member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I served a mission in Boston, Massachusetts and was as a temple worker. 

 

I went to Brigham Young University and graduated with a bachelor's degree in Family Life with a minor in Psychology, and a Master's degree in Social Work. I was married in an LDS temple and I have three kids. 

 

Most importantly I am a licensed therapist and believe in the power of healing and reclaiming your autonomy. 

​

I say all of this because I want you to know that I know what it is like to devote all that you are to a religion and then have your breaking point wondering what to do next. I know what it is like to try and change harmful culture and live with pervasive cognitive dissonance. I know what it is like to discover who you really are and build a life on your terms.

 

I've been there and I can help you.
