I aim to create an environment of hospitality, welcoming each client to explore the places in their life where they feel stuck or dissatisfied, so that we can begin to work together to imagine and create a different future. I believe that everyone has the answers that they are looking for within them, and that often the problems and suffering we face can be lessened when we establish and strengthen a deeper connection to our inner world. My belief is that our outer lives improve in satisfaction, meaning, and freedom as we grow in self-understanding and authenticity.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist that works with individuals & families struggling with eating disorders & comorbid issues, including, depression, anxiety, dual diagnosis, relationship issues & life transitions. From a systemic, psycho-dynamic foundation, I focus on past & present relationships and how behavioral patterns evolve over time. I believe the therapeutic relationship provides a safe space for the client to explore, uncover, and discover emotions. This allows the client to build trust, to take emotional risks, to challenge maladaptive coping in order to create new, more effective ways of managing painful emotions.

Starting therapy can be scary. Being vulnerable with a stranger takes a lot of courage and dedication. This is especially true if you're someone who is prone to privacy, logic or reason–or, perhaps you grew up thinking you need to hide your feelings in an effort to appear “strong.” My own therapy journey has taught me that being in tune with your emotions doesn’t make you weak. In fact, it helps you become stronger than you could ever know. I’m here to help you discover the same for yourself.

Individuals, couples, or families, regardless of any age or background, may benefit from a consult for psychodynamic therapy to seek help with a particular circumstance. People curious about the unconscious or the experience of therapy are encouraged to inquire. The main determining factor for therapy to be successful is the ability to form a trusting bond. Whether you are seeking therapy for the first time or reaching out again, I hope to offer a deeply meaningful treatment relationship.

I believe the therapeutic relationship can be a great meaningful experience and a tool you use throughout your life. I serve clients with a variety of needs including anxiety, depression, trauma, religious trauma, life transitions, codependency and family of origin. I enjoy working with women and young adults as we navigate life in an ever evolving world. I support my clients in building communication skills, bringing awareness to thought patterns and increasing confidence and self-esteem.

Therapy serves as a transformative space, guiding individuals to navigate all type of experiences, gain insights, and develop coping strategies, fostering deeper connections with oneself and others. I provide comprehensive mental health support for those seeking positive change and emotional well-being. I am a dedicated mental health counselor in training with a strong foundation in individual and adult counseling. I am passionate about empowering clients to overcome challenges, enhance self-awareness, embark on a journey of self-discovery, and achieve personal growth and resilience.

I believe that we all have an inherent need to feel connected, seen, and understood and that is often where the growth, relief, and healing begins. My clinical work is based on a dynamic and relational approach that works collaboratively with clients to gain an understanding of how early experiences underlie behaviors, thoughts, feelings, and explore ways to connect with others. My approach is grounded in a social justice, sex-positive, and anti-oppressive lens, that posits an understanding of how systems of power and privilege manifest in individuals’ lives and impact individuals' ability to heal.

Hi, my name is Kendyl and I am an art therapist. I have a passion for walking with people on their therapeutic journeys. I value being an empathetic listener and strive to be someone that others can be their authentic selves with. I try to meet my clients with compassion and nonjudgmental, positive regard. I have experience working with a wide range of clients and have passion for narrative therapy where we will explore the stories you hold and learn how to find hope within hard spaces.

My greatest passion and area of specialty is in working with individuals, of all ages, who are experiencing significant distress in their lives, including: death and loss, impaired self-esteem/confidence, anxiety, depression, life transition issues and relationship difficulties.

Looking for a therapist requires a leap of faith: that someone out there can actually understand, let alone help. Maybe you sense you need to make a change, but how to move forward is unclear. Or maybe you are going through something right now that feels too heavy to shoulder alone. In either case, therapy can be a place to find your footing. When we first meet, I will listen carefully to your story, then together we will identify what carries the potential to help. I offer a compassionate relationship you can rely on.

My therapeutic approach is to fosters a space where the past, present, and future intersect in a way that healing, empowerment, and clear direction can flourish. I understand that life can at times be challenging, change can be destabilizing, and loss will cause pain. Through these life transitions one may at times need a safe space to cultivate hope and grow. I employ evidence based practices, cultural sensitivity and awareness to assist you in achieving your therapeutic goals.

I am fluent in Spanish, focusing on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-focused, narrative therapy, and other evidence-based practices. Obtaining holistic healing for our mental health can be one of the greatest methods of self-care. The integration of faith-based practices with evidence-based therapies is very important to me. I welcome faith to be a part of the client’s healing process, as it can be an important avenue to consider. I aim to help clients gain insights into their emotional world and equip them with coping skills.

Having been involved in the mental health field for over a decade, working across various setting (hospitals, VA, college) I now focus on those eager to enhance their creativity, community, and value-driven experiences. As the founder of an organization that has seen significant growth, my interest lies in supporting leaders—whether they are in creative roles, parenting, or mental health professions—who struggle with the demands of their work environments and the prioritization of their own healing. I believe relationships are formed in repair and I am useful to those seeking to deepen the interpersonal and cultural spaces.

As a kink-aware therapist and one that has experienced with polyamory and consensual non-monogamy, I hope to provide support to marginalized communities that face stigma, or that feel left out. I care deeply about social justice and work hard to dismantle oppression, as a vocal LGBTQ+ and feminist ally. As someone that became a therapist later in life, I apply my diverse experiences to my practice so that I may be more able to help you along your unique journey, or to uncover and address barriers that may prevent you from meeting personal goals or living a more authentic life.

The task of finding a new therapist to walk with you in your journey toward growth, hope, and healing can be so difficult! My style is relational and dynamic, meaning that I hold the past and present together as we work through your story to examine places you feel stuck or want to make changes. Your safety in the therapeutic relationship is important in order to facilitate the exploration of what can be painful thoughts, feelings, and memories. I integrate evidence-based techniques, cultural humility, and a nonjudgemental perspective to help you find your strengths and meet your life goals.

I am passionate about working with adults who are suffering from anxiety disorders (OCD, social anxiety and panic) and Insomnia. Anxiety can be incredibly interfering in people's lives whether it be work, school or relationships There are effective treatments which help people live the lives they want to be living without engaging in compulsions, experiencing panic, or feeling stuck worrying. Similarly, when we can't sleep, we do not feel or function our best. Learning strategies to get a good nights sleep can be incredibly impactful. Together, we can work towards reducing anxiety and feeling more rested.

I offer practical, solution-focused goal-oriented psychotherapy aimed at timely symptom relief and problem resolution. My clients, being adults, determine their own therapy goals and agenda. My style is respectful, but interactive. I do not tell my clients what to do but I will always tell you honestly how I feel about the things that you present. I believe therapy should be time-limited and results-oriented, NOT a life-long continuous process. I believe that people can change, or else I would not be in this business. I delight in helping people master the tools which facilitate desired change.

Are you feeling stuck, stress, overwhelmed and experiencing the sense that things are just not feeling right for you? Often times relationships, work, and our personal life are not bringing us the level of satisfaction that we would like. Let's work together to find clarity and collaborate on goals to get you where you want to be.
