“Along with being warm and empowering, she is also very intelligent, opened minded, authentic, solution oriented and challenging in a good way. She gives me a challenge after almost every session because she believes I am capable of completing whatever it is she gives me. I am very fortunate to have found a therapist that listens, empathizes and understands and gives feedback. Candace has made my experience with therapy easy. It is scary reaching out for help, she makes / made it not scary. She is the best & I’m happy I reached out when I did- she has made a big impact on my life this year. I can’t thank her enough.”

Getting to know Candace Shim
Parents, teens, and young adults are currently facing many unique challenges specific to their generation and our post-pandemic times. It can be overwhelming to feel there is no light at the end of the tunnel and that no one understands. Don’t struggle in silence or alone. Instead of searching for what is "wrong" with clients, I work to find their strengths and power to begin the healing journey. I work with teens, college students, and adults.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Certified School Counselor, and Life Coach with a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Florida State University, I offer an inclusive, warm, and positive environment to guide clients through the process of creating the life they want. I believe that with the right tools and support, everyone has the power to make radical, positive changes in their lives.
You deserve a happy and peaceful home. Let me help guide you, your teens, and your family on the path to creating positive, tranquil, and thriving relationships for life. If you are ready to commit to bringing powerful, positive change to your family, contact me today.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When clients begin their mental wellness journey they can expect to share their goals, desires, and hopes for treatment. We will work together as a team to begin to understand where the client is currently at, where they wish to be, and what steps are they ready to begin taking today. Using Positive Psychology and Cognitive Behavioral Treatment philosophy I will work with the client to help them to plan for how they can begin to improve their mental wellbeing.Through homework, journaling, and action step each week we will work on areas ideniftied.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
