I made an appointment with Candra for my 7 year old daughter for some anxiety she was having. Candra was very warm and my child opened up to her immediately. My child has made positive progress since starting and she continues to be excited for her next session. Mrs. James is an excellent counselor and I would definitely recommend her to anyone.
Candra James, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
Do you wake every morning with a sense of anxiety and/or depression?
It can be difficult to get through the day when you are constantly experiencing anxiety and/or depression. As your therapist, I will help you to understand where these feelings are coming from, and provide you with effective coping strategies to overcome and approach these obstacles with new perspectives.
Are you in a troubled relationship and unable to decide whether you should stay or leave?
When your relationship faces hardship, it can be completely overwhelming and altogether upsetting. As your therapist, I will guide you through your relational issues, and provide you with much support and encouragement. Together, we will find meaningful resolutions and restore a sense of peace and clarity in your life.
Are you struggling to overcome negative thoughts and feelings regarding a traumatic event?
No one wants to live day to day in emotional pain. Some people do not express their pain because they do not want to make others aware of their struggle. Likewise, other people do not know how to make the pain go away. In our work together, I will assist you in navigating through the aftermath of trauma, and provide you with the tools you need to begin healing.
