Candace Washington, MSW, LMSW

Candace is trained and experienced in providing therapy to

adolescents and adults working through mental health concerns, including, but not limited to,

suicidality, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and loss. Candace also has experience in group

therapy, assisting clients in drug and alcohol treatment programs and transitional housing in

meeting their short and long-term goals to return to a place of equilibrium and safety.

Candace believes that every treatment plan should be unique to the needs and concerns of the

client. Therefore, she uses a collaborative approach when working with clients. She employs

various therapeutic techniques, including a cognitive-behavioral or solution-focused approach in

addressing distressing thoughts, emotions, and behavior while identifying skills and strengths in

helping clients reach their goals in life. Candace meets clients where they currently are in life

while unpacking past and current events to discover their core beliefs, thought processes,

decision making skills, and perspective towards self and the world.

Candace is a native of Alabama and Maryland. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology

from Bowie State University and received a Master of Social Work from Howard University.

She looks forward to supporting you in your healing journey with compassion, patience, and

understanding because it's not easy to unpack life's traumas, stressors, and unpleasant events.

Still, Candace creates a sacred space for you giving room for healing to take place. In her spare

time, Candace enjoys spending time with family, writing, and traveling.
