What's the process for therapy and what can I expect?
We make getting started with therapy simple!
1. Book a free 15-minute consultation
During the consultation, you will have an opportunity to share insights into the problem you’re facing and your hopes for therapy. Also, during that time, you are free to ask questions about treatment and the process, and to share what you hope to achieve through counseling. We will also discuss scheduling availability and options during the consultation.
2. Complete new client paperwork
After your consultation, you will need to complete new client paperwork and provide payment details to confirm your intake appointment. Your paperwork must be complete before your appointment can be confirmed.
3. Complete intake session
During your intake appointment, we will go over historical information, the problem you identified during the consultation, and its impact on your life.
In subsequent sessions, we will begin the collaborative development of a treatment plan and establish goals for our work together that best align with your desired outcome.

I'm concerned about what we discuss being shared with my job or family
We understand that therapy is a big step, and sharing personal details of your experience and pain can be scary. We are honored to support you in your evolution toward a healthier you.
Client safety and privacy are always at the forefront of our approaches to care. Your information is protected by law, and we do not sell, share, or otherwise disclose personal identifiable information of any of our clients for any purpose other than what is required by law.
We require written client consent before releasing any client information, including after our work together is complete. We take privacy seriously, and our records are protected by encryption. Administrative assistants and any other professionals working for Evolutions Mental Health and Wellness, PLLC will have limited, necessary information on clients, and only the direct clinicians and the direct licensing supervisor will have permissive access to client session details.

We have a 48-hour policy for all appointments, including weekend appointments.
You can call and leave a voicemail, text us at 972-525-8005, or email us at admin@evolutionsmentalhealthandwellness.com.
What models do you use for therapy?
Candace has specialized clinical training and licensure as a marriage and family therapist, and graduated with distinction in this specialty. She knows that every client has differing needs and approaches that work for them. She uses the first few sessions to determine the best fit for each client and has found that most clients work well with her culturally competent, person-centered approach. From there, she may infuse Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Gottman method, Racial Trauma therapy from the Kniffley Racial Trauma Approach, Narrative Therapy, or trauma-informed approaches, depending on the client’s needs and goals.
What types of clients do you primarily serve?
We serve clients who have trauma, anxiety, identity issues, estrangement, couples seeking reconnection after betrayal and loss, and pre-marital couples, families, and those seeking co-parenting support.
We offer services to clients of all identities, racial backgrounds, non-conforming individuals, and those of all spiritual backgrounds and beliefs.
Our ideal client is ready to engage in counseling, prepared to do the work, and committed to consistently trusting the process.
