About Me

My name is Dr. Kandice van Beerschoten, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Sex Therapist. My private practice is located in Garner, North Carolina.

With over 20 years of experience, I have worked with a broad range of clients. However, my primary areas of expertise are BDSM (kink), ethical non-monogamy, sexual dysfunction, and sexual trauma. I only treat adults.

I genuinely LOVE working with kink and ENM! It’s my passion. I enjoy unpacking each individual situation, seeing the dynamics, and helping everyone involved figure out what works best for them.

I am able to utilize many different approaches (cognitive-behavioral, problem-solving, interpersonal therapies), though I primarily practice psychoanalytic psychotherapy. My commitment is to provide a confidential space where, together, we can address the challenges with which you are struggling.

Education

I received my Master of Social Work from the University of South Carolina in 2001, and my PhD from the Institute for Clinical Social Work in 2014. I obtained my certification as a Certified Sex Therapist through AASECT in 2022.

Licenses

I am licensed to practice clinical social work in North Carolina, as well as being registered to practice teletherapy in South Carolina and Florida.

The Personal Side
