Supervised by Ryan Lloyd, PhD, LMFT-S, Kandace is a skilled couples and family therapist serving the state of Texas. Kandace offers in person sessions in central Austin, Texas and online therapy sessions across the state of Texas via Ladybird Relationship Center’s HIPAA compliant and confidential EHS platform.

Couples and Individual Therapy Sessions

Kandace works systemically and understands that every person, family, and couple has their own culture, goals and issues. Unique treatment plans customized for each person, family and couple play a key role in her practice. Solution focused therapy, CBT, narrative therapy, EMDR, Discernment Counseling, and EFT are some of the modalities Kandace uses in her practice.

Discernment Counseling

Kandace Williamson is one of the few Certified Discernment Counselors in Texas. Kandace works with couples on the brink of divorce or separation where one partner is leaning out and the other partner is leaning in. Kandace guides couples towards clarity and confidence in their decisions regarding their relationship moving forward and explores each person’s contribution to the problems in their relationship in order to gain insight they can carry into their current or future relationships. One of the goals in Discernment Counseling is to avoid “hot divorces” and to help both partners in the marriage experience a “drone-style” view of the state of their relationship as it stands now and the path forward.

Trauma Treatment

For clients struggling with triggering histories, Kandace offers EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) treatment and sessions. Kandace was trained through EMDRIA® in Dallas, Texas and one of Kandace’s core competencies is treating trauma and the processing of traumatic events, event specific and complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and relationship distress.

Understanding the journey her clients travel creates a warm and safe place to process life’s most challenging circumstances.
