I'm Kandace Williamson, LMFT Associate, and I've spent my career helping couples and individuals find their way through some of life's hardest moments — from communication breakdowns and infidelity to anxiety, trauma, and the question of whether a relationship has a future. I work systemically, which means I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy: your culture, your history, and your goals shape how we work together.

I'm EMDR trained, a Certified Discernment Counselor, and co-author of Marriage and Family Therapy: A Practice-Oriented Approach (3rd ed.). I studied at the Solution-Focused BRIEF Center and the Institute of Narrative Therapy in London, and I'm supervised by Ryan Lloyd, PhD, LMFT-S.

As one of the few Certified Discernment Counselors in Texas, I work with couples on the brink of divorce or separation where one partner is leaning out and the other partner is leaning in. I guide couples towards clarity and confidence in their decisions regarding their relationship moving forward and help couples explore 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.

I was the co-author of an academic book edited by Linda Metcalf, PhD and published in 2024 titled Marriage and Family Therapy - A Practice-Oriented Approach (3rd edition).

I also studied in London at the Solution Focused BRIEF Center and and The Institution of Narrative Therapy in London (2023). I completed my undergraduate studies at The University of Texas at Austin and my MS in Marriage and Family Therapy at Texas Wesleyan University in Fort Worth, Texas.
