Kandace Graves
Thank you for choosing me to embark on this journey with you! "To get thru the hardest journey, we need take only one step at a time, but we must keep on stepping" Hi, my name is Kandace Graves, I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of North Carolina. I received a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University in 2016. I am currently licensed in North Carolina by the North Carolina Board of Licensed Professional Counselors. (13510). My graduate experience includes a 12-month internship counseling men and women within an urban community in Ohio. As your counselor my aim is to provide a safe and supportive environment where we can collaborate and work at your own pace to help you reach your goals. I work with men, women, children, teens, couples and families whom have experienced trauma, grief, depression, and anxiety. People who have difficulty transitioning into a new chapter in life and provide reunification therapy to families of divorce. I also provide couples counseling. The theoretical approach I use include but are not limited to Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Rational Behavior Therapy. Though each person will experience hardship and difficulty, I believe that the problem with emotions and behaviors are generally a result of how one thinks and feels about a given situation. Person-Centered Therapy emphasizes each person’s uniqueness, value and worth which provide an environment safe enough to share honestly and openly. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes acceptance of uncomfortable feelings or thoughts rather than struggling with or rejecting them, allowing change to occur. Solution Focused Therapy relies on what was helpful in other situations in which the client was able to cope. All theoretical orientations are helpful in identifying the root of distress. I believe that knowing where you come from is important to know where you are headed. Trauma and other experiences have a way of permeating into other areas of our lives such as marriage, familial relationships and friendships. Along with the many benefits of counseling come risks. Since counseling often involves discussing unpleasant or uncomfortable aspects of your life, you may experience feelings such as sadness, guilt, anger, shame and helplessness, just to name a few. Counseling allows you to process your feelings and often leads to better relationships and relief from feelings of distress. In order to benefit the most from the counseling experience you must be committed, engaged, and do work outside of therapy to meet your goals. I abide by the confidentiality standards set forth by NCBLPC and upheld by the state law. All of our communication becomes part of the clinical record, which is accessible to you upon request. I will keep confidential anything you say as part of our counseling relationship, with the following exceptions: (a) you direct me in writing to disclose information to someone else, (b) it is determined you are a danger to yourself or others (including child or elder abuse), or (c) I am ordered by a court to disclose information. This platform is not to be used for emergency purposes. If you are feeling like you will hurt yourself or someone else please contact the suicide hotline and/or go to the nearest emergency room. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. I am excited to join you on this journey!

I am licensed in North Carolina with 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & coping with grief and loss. I also provide Christian-based therapy. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. Further background: After graduating from Lee University in May 2007, I worked at Lighthouse Counseling and Life Skills Center in Chattanooga, TN. I gained skills in helping to complete therapeutic intakes, helping to oversee Life Skills classes, and facilitation of co-parenting courses. I moved to CO in and began working at Beacon Youth and Family Center, working with at-risk adolescents who resided at the facility. I then became a Program Counselor at the Council on Substance Abuse and Mental Health (Comitis Program), a residential facility for at-risk adolescents and for temporarily homeless families. During my time there, I assisted with suicide risk assessments and in-patient hospitalizations, when necessitated, intake screenings, co-therapy groups for adolescents and for adults, individual counseling sessions for adolescents and adults, family meetings, and aided in crisis management and de-escalation. During my graduate program at Colorado Christian University, I completed my supervised clinical hours at Michael Dawson Counseling and The Philippi Center in Aurora, CO. I conducted individual (adolescents and adults), couples, and group (children, adolescents and adults) therapy sessions in a faith-based setting. I also received extensive training in counseling clients (children – adults) in various stages of grief and in trauma resolution. I received training in Equine Assisted Therapy (EAP) during this time as well. I also completed clinical internship hours at Christ Haven Lodge – Home of Chuckie’s Place, where I helped to provide clinical support at retreats for families with children with special needs and helped to provide clinical support at retreats for military families affected by deployment and PTSD. I was then employed by the Child and Family Assistance Center at Ft. Carson Army Base in CO. While employed there, I aided in completing ER suicide and homicide risk assessments (for children – adults), crisis management and de-escalation, and facilitation of in-patient hospitalizations, when necessary. I conducted initial therapy interviews to establish treatment. Additionally, I facilitated individual and/or family crisis resolution sessions with children and adolescents. I co-facilitated adolescent, family, and couples therapeutic and educational groups. All of the clients I saw during my time working at Ft. Carson were military families facing issues related to deployment and military life and adjustment, and many were affected by PTSD. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and couples. I enjoy helping adolescents and adults resolve crisis, develop better coping skills to continue in their healing, and allowing space for clients to process areas that may be difficult to discuss with family or friends. I also enjoy helping couples to learn to communicate better, rebuild intimacy, and have a healthy marriage. It is my honor to be able to walk with people as they process grief/loss and/or trauma, and hopefully see resolution. It is my desire that each client feels safe and respected while in my treatment. I believe that the client must be invested in therapy for it to be truly beneficial and therefore believe that this a joint effort between the client and myself. I want to help each client develop and reach their own individual counseling goals, as there is not one approach or theory that works for every client. I come from a faith-based, Christian background, but will strive to honor my client’s personal spiritual values. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Equine Assisted Therapy (EAP), grief/loss therapy, trauma therapy, and have received training in The Gottman Method for couples therapy.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Some of the most commonly asked questions about therapy can be found in the section below.
How much does a therapist cost?
Mental health professionals can differ in price. Forbes found that the average cost of in-person therapy in the US is around $100 to $200 per hour. Pricing can also vary based on your location.
BetterHelp offers payment plans of $60 to $90 per session, charged monthly in a lump sum. You can also take advantage of this pricing on one of BetterHelp's sister platforms, like ReGain for couples or TeenCounseling for teens aged 13 to 19.
Many therapists may be upfront about their pricing and whether or not they take health insurance from the beginning. Additionally, some in your area may offer a sliding scale plan to allow those with lower incomes to pay less for therapy. However, services online can often save individuals a few hundred dollars per month.
When should I get a therapist in North Carolina?
Mental health services and mental health providers may help you navigate various concerns. You do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy; You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general advice. A counselor may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.
Mental health issues don't always present as a crisis. Many professionals provide talk therapy and support for life transitions, skills learning, relationship problems, or life coaching. Online therapy sessions can allow clients seeking therapy to experience professional help through video, phone, or live chat sessions without commuting to an office.
Does insurance cover the cost of therapy?
Different counseling services can vary in cost. Therapists must apply to accept insurance through insurance companies, which may take time and money, so not every therapist offers services through insurance. If you cannot find a therapist that accepts your plan, BetterHelp may be cheaper than visiting an in-person therapist.
Is online therapy the safe option?
Online therapy through BetterHelp and its sister platforms is safe. Therapists are licensed, experienced, and vetted before being contracted with the platform. If you experience any concerns with your therapist, you change your counselor through the platform or app at any time.
