I’ve been in your shoes…

Candace David trauma therapist in Allen, TX, sitting peacefully in a field, offering a calm and compassionate presence for healing.

I’m not immune to the struggles with body image or the pressure to conform.

I remember standing in the dressing room as a teen, devastated by the size on the label, and flooded with disappointment and shame. I remember waking up day after day overwhelmed by the crushing belief I wasn’t going to make it through another day.

I was fortunate my to be wrapped up by my loved ones in that dressing room and reminded that my value transcends numbers. I am grateful to the counselors who compassionately walked with me through the most painful time of my life.

  • I am acutely aware of the injustices that harm people—no one deserves to feel held hostage by their past or shaped by negative self-talk.

    I have made it my mission to ensure that every client feels supported, empowered, and free from the grip of their past traumas.
