My role at The Sparrows Collective is to provide oversight to the business as a whole, supervise and care for the badass team of therapists that I get to work alongside and ultimately keep dreaming of how to make Sparrows even more.

My hope is to continue to create a space for you….

In therapy. In a yoga room. In a group alongside other people. In a community-based event or workshop. I just want to create all the space I can, so women can finally show up, breathe, and take up as much space as they freaking want to.

Candace McArthur, LCSW-S

Hey. I’m Candace.

I’m the Founder of The Sparrows Collective and a Therapist here as well. Most of my days are spent sitting with my dear clients, making space for their stories, entering into the harder places with them and holding onto hope that there is a pathway towards greater freedom for them.

A couple of things I would love for you to know about Sparrows and 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. 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, I’m seeing this vision 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. A person. With feelings and thoughts and wants and hopes and fears and dreams. So that is what I do.

The “Stuff”
You Should Probably Know

Bachelor’s in Social Work from
The University of Texas in Austin, (Hook ‘Em!)
Masters in Social Work from 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.

When I’m Not
In The Office

I’m a divorced mama of two kiddos, and most days, we’re living on a prayer, eating frozen chicken nuggets, and (usually) arriving late for school drop-off.

And when I’m not doing therapy or making sure my children are alive, I am probably running or hitting up a local coffee shop or brewery.

In my life, the windows are usually open,
& there’s always music on in the background and I am probably trying to quit drinking Diet Coke.

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. 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.
