I'm Candice Muhammad, a dedicated therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. Over my career, I've worked with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and major life transitions.
My approach is grounded in empathy, cultural awareness, and a deep commitment to meeting you where you are. I believe in creating a therapeutic space that feels safe, affirming, and respectful—one where your unique identity and experiences are honored. I draw on evidence-based practices to help you build resilience, develop coping strategies, and move toward meaningful change at your own pace.
I'm proud to offer culturally responsive care and understand the importance of working with a therapist who reflects your background and values. Starting therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to support you on your healing journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
