Meet Candra Ojeda, Psychotherapist
You don’t have to carry this all on your own.
I am a Clinical Professional Counselor State Intern based in Summerlin, Las Vegas, specializing in trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and anxiety. I work with individuals, couples, and adolescents to help them navigate life's challenges and create meaningful change. My goal is to empower clients to heal, build resilience, and shape the life they desire.
I am very committed to continually expanding my clinical skills to best support you. With a undergrad background in History and Psychology from the University of Houston, along with a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lamar University, I offer a deep understanding of the human experience. My internship experience in a Las Vegas group private practice allowed me to gain valuable insights into the diverse needs of this community. I am passionate about helping individuals and families thrive, creating a safe environment where you can feel heard, supported, and empowered on your journey to growth.
As a therapist, my role is to provide guidance, support, and tools to help you navigate challenges, but I believe you are the one who truly understands your experiences, emotions, and goals. You bring your lived experiences, strengths, and inner wisdom to the process, while I offer a non-judgmental space, evidence-based techniques, and a compassionate presence to help you explore, process, and move forward. Together, we collaborate to uncover patterns, build coping skills, and create meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you. Therapy is about empowerment—helping you reconnect with your own resilience and inner resources so you can make the choices that align with the life you want to build.

How I work
At the core of my approach to therapy is a belief that each person has the innate ability to find meaning, purpose, and resilience, even in life’s most challenging moments.
In sessions with me, we will work collaboratively to explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges in a safe, supportive space. Together, we’ll set meaningful goals, build effective coping strategies, and work toward lasting positive change tailored to your unique needs.
Therapy with me is…

Being here doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you’re strong.
