MEET

Candace Mohammed R.M.H.C.I.

I take pleasure in working with anyone who is motivated to achieve their life worth living. I am very passionate about adolescents and the young adult population, as I believe that I am called to help shape the minds of our future generations.  My passion also extends to battered men and women, parents who are struggling in their relationship with their children, and couples who desire to have a healthy relationship. My passion is driven by my own personal life experiences, which took me away from the field of accounting, and led me into this purpose driven field. It is important to mention that my fifteen years as a high school teacher, coupled with thirteen years in the field of Social Work and Mental Health, have allowed me to gain the wisdom, knowledge, and experience in effectively dealing with Anxiety Disorders, Personality Disorders, Depression, Adjustment Disorders and many other psychological disorders. I am also a Certified Symbis Facilitator, which gives me an edge on not only counseling couples, but also issuing Pre-Marital Counseling certificates for those couples who are taking the next step towards Holy Matrimony.

        I specialize in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy which includes focusing on attaining skills in Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotional Regulation and Distress Tolerance and providing phone coaching to clients. As a DBT therapist I lead adolescents, young adult, and adult groups, for individuals and families who struggle with one or more various diagnoses. One of my most adored techniques is leading my clients to develop their own personal affirmations, which serves to constantly challenge them to overcome self-sabotaging and negative thoughts, which can help in the healing process and the decision to make positive changes. I have also trained in different modalities such as Gestalt Therapy, CBT, Person-Centered and Motivational Interviewing, which has equipped me with the necessary tools to assist my clients work through their thoughts, memories, emotions, and behaviors related to any trauma that they may have encountered. 

         I am a very passionate and dedicated Therapist and I always go the extra mile to ensure that my clients accomplish their goals. I work alongside my clients in promoting their healing and well-being, while respecting their integrity. These qualities allow me to connect with my clients and build a therapeutic environment that is conducive for healing.
