About Dr. Fulivia Cannady

Hello and welcome.

First, I want to commend you for taking the courageous step toward seeking therapy. Choosing to invest in your mental and emotional well-being is a powerful decision, and I am honored to walk alongside you in that process.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and serve as a Qualified Board Supervisor for Licensed Professional Counselors in the state of Mississippi. I hold a Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, and a Doctorate in Counseling Psychology with a specialization in Mental and Behavioral Health. With over 15 years of experience in mental health and social services, I have had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, and adults facing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and psychological challenges.

My therapeutic approach is client-centered, strength-based, and solution-focused. I believe that you are the expert on your life, and my role is to provide a safe, supportive environment where your strengths can be identified, cultivated, and empowered. Together, we will work to increase self-awareness, deepen insight, and develop practical strategies that promote meaningful and lasting change.

I deeply value creating a space where you feel calm, secure, and free to openly share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I am committed to partnering with you in a way that fosters growth, resilience, and transformation.

Each person’s story is unique, yet there are universal aspects of the human experience that connect us all. At our core, we all desire mental and emotional wellness, meaningful relationships, validation, and the opportunity to live fulfilling lives. It is my privilege to support you as you pursue healing, clarity, and the highest version of yourself.

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

“I have been working with Dr. Cannady for a few weeks now and as a therapy first-timer it's been an absolute pleasure. I feel seen, heard, and respected no matter the topic of conversation. Looking forward to future sessions with Dr. Cannady and would recommend her to anyone seeking to understand/improve their mental health without any judgment.”

“I feel like Dr. Cannady is very kind and compassionate. I don’t feel like she is judging me at any moment but listening and giving the same advice that I would want to be given to my daughter or I would give to my friends but it’s still hard to put into action or even sometimes find the right words to explain it to those around me but it’s okay as long as I am doing what is best for me and I’m not doing anything that they wouldn’t want for themselves, so thank you Dr. Can”

“Dr. Cannady is kind and supportive, I really appreciate how she asks a lot of questions to help me share and to reflect on what we are talking about. She also shares a lot from her personal experience which is nice to be able to relate to but takes up a large portion of our sessions.”

“Dr. Cannady is very kind and open in our sessions. She listens to what I have to say and relates it back to the world. We are breaking down my beliefs and reshaping them into new thoughts. I feel really comfortable in session with her, and I feel I can say anything.”
