Greetings,
My name is Dr. Candace Body Williams, and it is an honor to be considered as a potential partner on your journey. I am a Georgia-based, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years’ experience working with emotionally challenged youth, ADHD related behaviors, child/adult depression management, and trauma. Often, co-occurring issues include: depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive compulsive behaviors, and, of course, relationship challenges.
My experience includes individual and group therapy in residential and outpatient settings of a Community Mental Health Center and group home settings. I would describe my approach to therapy as eclectic, drawing on a variety of modalities to best serve a client’s needs and goals. The modalities that have proven most useful are: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-focused Therapy (SFT), Mindfulness-based Therapy, and Family Systems.
Finally, I view the therapeutic alliance as a partnership requiring mutual trust, respect, honesty, communication, and commitment to do the work. Hopefully, what I have shared here will help you select the best fit for a therapist. Should you select me, I look forward to our journey together.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Candace Body. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Dr. Williams is the best! It is very difficult for someone to encourage me to look at myself in the mirror. She does so with such grace and no offensiveness. I trust her.
