These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Candiss Williams. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Candice is a great therapist, she's the second one I've worked with, she listens also provides homework and resources to help you learn. Always on time and is very attentive!

I have been going through an extremely hard and sensitive situation at home with my wife and with my friends and when things hit rock bottom, I was trying my best to make things good but didn't know where to start or fully understand what I should even do or direct my emotions. I'm still going through this situation right now writing this review but Candiss has been someone I can really trust talking to and she has been able to help guide me in a way where I feel I am making a lot of progress in myself and very slowly making some progress with my wife and friends. I'm still not sure right now if things will turn out good or bad over time since they aren't doing well right now. But without Candiss, I feel I would have panicked and ruined things well beyond repair by trying to make things better in the wrong ways and not seeing to deep into what I need to do for myself either. I am very grateful that I got matched with Candiss and have her ear and guidance through this process!

I truly appreciate my experience with Candiss. I learned so much in my journey in a few month sessions with her, and I am keeping my notes and worksheets determined to continue to improve. I feel I have new perspectives and I could recognize and define my thoughts more than I have before. Thanks, Candiss!
