Hey there, friend.
I’m Candace.

Candace McArthur, LCSW-S

Founder/ Owner & Therapist

I’m a single mom to 2 kiddos, an Enneagram 2 (currently working on boundaries), perpetually trying to quit drinking diet coke, who usually loves to get a run in, probably has a million tabs open and never actually finishes a book.

  • Women who are so damn tired of keeping it all together….

    • The busy and overwhelmed mom, who feels like she is failing and needs some support.

    • The faithful one, who doesn’t know who they are anymore and maybe find themselves questioning their beliefs, identity, values, all the things.

    • The one who tends to make space for everyone else in their lives and is finally admitting they need their own space, too.

  • Bachelor’s in Social Work-
    The University of Texas, 2010
    Masters in Social Work- Texas State University, 2012.

    I received my full license in 2019 (it took me a while, I had some kids during those years) and completed my Supervisor training in 2021. I also completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher training and am an Registered Yoga Teacher.

A couple of things I would love for you to know about Sparrows & why it matters to me…

I know what it’s like to look up from your life and feel so disoriented, detached and disconnected. I know what it’ s like to feel like each day is fueled by too much caffeine, an unending to-do list and the hope that a break is just around the corner both as a person and a therapist. I know what it’s like to hear the incessant comments from that inner critic, day in and day out. Because that is what my life has been, and what I continue to journey through.

And that is why I created Sparrows. I was so tired of the self-help approach to healing. I needed and desired space to be messy and real and honest. I didn’t need another list of ways to improve myself… trust me, I was already obsessing about that anyways.

Sparrows exists because I knew that I couldn’t possibly be alone in that need. So in 2019, I hesitantly and with no clue what I was doing with a business, opened the doors. Now, almost 5 years later, alongside these other badass therapists,  I’m seeing this vision of a Collective come to life. I still don’t quite know what I’m doing with taxes and stuff, but what I do know is how to make space for the tired, the weary, the anxious, the perfectionistic, the deconstructing, the burnt-out, the keeping it all together woman. I know how to ask the questions and give you some breathing room. I know how to come alongside you to finally experience the beauty and mess of being a human. 

And that is what The Sparrows Collective represents... whether you're a tired therapist, who loves their job, but just can't give what you've been told you have to give, or a potential client, who wants to grow and change SOOO badly but also needs a space where you can slow down, you can access some kindness... then we're that space. 

One more thing…

One of the things I love the most is to connect with like-minded leaders, wellness practitioners and helpers to collaborate and provide better support for all of us. If you would love to chat, maybe grab a coffee, and dream together about how you could be part of The Sparrows Collective… reach out. For real.
