About

Are you tired of your past traumas hindering your ability to experience true happiness? Do you often feel lonely, misunderstood, and disconnected in your relationships? Does it feel as if life is working against you rather than helping you create the life you deserve? I want you to know that you are not alone, and you absolutely deserve to have the life and relationships you desire. As a trauma specialist and a certified Imago Couples Therapist, I focus on restoration, self-improvement, reconnection in relationships, and achieving peace. These are the goals I strive for with my ideal clients. Candice R. Dickens specializes in culturally sensitive techniques that are inclusive of various intersectionalities, such as gender, race, ethnicity, and religion. We offer EMDR, crisis management, trauma counseling, Imago Couples counseling, Brainspotting, trauma-informed yoga, cognitive behavioral therapy, breathwork, and relaxing meditation. CRA Counseling & Consulting Agency is dedicated to providing a safe space for you to heal, grow, reconnect, and thrive. We offer both in-person office visits, phone and telehealth appointments during the day and evening. Our office is wheelchair accessible and conveniently located near a bus line. Additionally, we provide nidra and restorative yoga sessions. Specialties: I work with clients who want a skilled clinical clinician who is certified in Internally Family System, Brainspotting, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), and Imago Couples Counseling. My clients also appreciate my emphasis on healing the mind-body-energy-soul connection by offering reiki, somatic experiencing, meditation, and yoga ( i.e., restorative yoga, yoga nidra) Credentials & Experience: It's time to be liberated from all that pain and trauma that is holding your back! Let's work together one step at a time

"I am a culturally sensitive trauma informed provider. My practice offers clients a safe and welcoming space where they can be healed by the use of mind-body techniques such as EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, IFS, hypnosis, DBT, CBT, brainspotting, meditation, breathe work, Imago couples counseling, and restorative yoga."
