Hello there! I am Kandace Tawia, LCSW, and I work with women and families navigating depression, relationship conflict, and the lasting impact of domestic violence or family discord. I take a strengths-based, family-focused approach, helping clients rebuild safety, stability, and connection. If you're ready for steady, compassionate support, I welcome you.
I blend cognitive behavioral therapy, family-focused therapy, narrative therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, motivational interviewing, and a strength-based lens to meet each client where they are. Sessions focus on understanding the patterns behind anxiety, depression, PTSD, and relationship strain, and on building practical tools for coping, communication, and emotional regulation. For clients recovering from domestic violence or family conflict, I center safety and empowerment, helping them reconnect with their own strengths and values. I work with teens and adults, and tailor pace and approach to what each client needs.
Your first session is a conversation, not an evaluation. I will ask about what brought you to therapy, what feels hardest right now, and what you're hoping will be different. Together we will build a plan grounded in your strengths and your pace, whether you're working through anxiety, depression, trauma, or a relationship in crisis. Sessions are telehealth, from wherever in Georgia feels comfortable. Clients often leave feeling heard, steadier, and less alone with what they're carrying.
