Candace Walters & Associates, LPC C4222

IMMEDIATE OPENINGS!! I have worked as clinical supervisor in mental health for nearly a decade, honing my skills and the skills of other therapists and mental health professionals. As a result, I have development some beliefs that guide my work with clients. I believe that we all experience difficulties throughout our life, and that these difficulties impact each of us in a unique way. These events influence our behavior and thinking, in many different ways- sometimes inside of our awareness, and sometimes not. Therapy is a place to find new approaches to these difficulties, to create new awarenesses. “Trying harder” is rarely an answer. Trying “different” can make all the difference. And, if you already knew what to do, it is likely you would have already done it. At times, we watch ourselves acting in ways we don't like, or responding in a manner that is out of proportion to the situation, but feel powerless over our feelings. I hope to help you change this with the right intervention at the right time. I have extensive experience in working with individuals of all ages who struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and addiction- and with couples who are impacted relationally by these things. I utilize EMDR and cognitive restructuring as well as DBT techniques to address symptoms. These techniques in combination can produce permanent resolution to many mental health conditions, so that long term “coping” is no longer a necessary strategy. TESTIMONIALS: I appreciate Candace’s calm, inviting presence. Candace is amazing, really gets to the bottom of issues and helps you work through them in many different ways. I am so thankful to have met her through this journey and plan to continue. She helps guide me so I DO IT and don't just think about getting it done.. Whatever direction guidance is needed... We have only had 2 sessions but it is very clear she is knowledgeable and attentive. I appreciate her work. She has been amazing and changed my life for the better. Candace nailed it!! Being in recovery and spending 20 plus years on my drinking career, things come up that have been blocked in my teenage years. Switching to Candace and one visit she had me looking from a different perspective and making progress. I'm grateful to have 6 yrs of sobriety today !!
