Specialized Care for Personal Transformation
Healing from complex trauma
Empowering Clinicians to Work With Trauma
Specialties
-
Complex PTSD often results from long-term exposure to trauma, causing emotional struggles, relationship issues, and feelings of hopelessness. To treat these symptoms, we use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) along with various therapy techniques to help manage avoidance, anxiety, and emotions. Our aim is to empower clients to improve their relationships and enhance their overall well-being.
-
Finding someone that understands Narcissistic or Antagonistic abuse is key for managing your own health. At Candace Dickinson Counseling Services LLC, we use EMDR, HRV, and IFS to help clients process trauma, making it ideal for whatever stage you’re in in the relationship. Our safe, supportive environment fosters healing, coping strategies, and resilience. Together, we empower you to reclaim your life and find peace amid chaos.
-
Medical trauma can leave deep emotional scars on individuals, often manifesting as persistent anxiety, overwhelming fear, or a profound mistrust in healthcare settings long after the initial traumatic experience has occurred. These feelings can make it incredibly challenging for individuals to engage with medical professionals or seek necessary care, hindering their journey toward healing and wellness.
-
Dissociation is a complex psychological response that can create a profound sense of detachment from the present moment, often acting as a protective coping mechanism during times of overwhelming stress or trauma. At Candace Dickinson Counseling Services, we take an empathetic approach to this experience by exploring how these defenses serve you in your life. We focus on integrating these dissociative aspects more fully into your sense of self, allowing for a more cohesive and grounded existence.
-
Panic attacks are incredibly intense and frightening experiences, often causing sudden fear along with distressing physical symptoms that can feel completely uncontrollable. At Candace Dickinson Counseling Services, we place a strong emphasis on identifying the underlying trauma that contributes to your panic. Together, we will work to build your confidence and equip you with effective tools and strategies to manage these challenging episodes, ultimately paving the way for a more fulfilling and joyful life.

Specialized EMDR and CPTSD Consultation
In my practice, I understand how challenging it can be to navigate the complexities of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) and to maintain fidelity to EMDR protocols as a clinician. My specialized consultation services are designed to give you a safe, collaborative space to explore your cases, clarify your approach, and deepen your confidence.
I offer compassionate support and clear, practical guidance to help you understand how CPTSD presentations can shape your clinical work, as well as how to integrate EMDR effectively—even with complex trauma histories. Through an integrative lens that includes polyvagal-informed strategies, somatic techniques, and advanced EMDR case conceptualization, I help you build skills that align with your values and meet the needs of the clients you serve.
Whether you are seeking focused EMDR consultation to strengthen your fidelity to the model or looking for CPTSD consultation to expand your trauma-informed practice, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
Hi, I’m Candace.
I’m a mental health counselor specializing in trauma and complex PTSD. I incorporate various approaches, including attachment therapy, Internal Family Systems, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Polyvagal Theory, Heart Rate Variability, and more. I'm always learning and expanding my knowledge to better support the people I work with. My goal is to find what works for you so you can move forward with your life. Ultimately, my job is to work myself out of a job, and I celebrate when clients graduate from therapy.
I believe healing starts with being seen and heard.
Your experience in the world is incredibly important.
Your experiences matter. You don’t have to justify your decision to seek therapy. Throughout this process, I hope you come to recognize the significance of your story and honor the strength it’s taken to get to this point.
