EMDR Therapists in Madison, AL

Hi, I'm Kendall, an associate licensed counselor in the Huntsville area and I'm glad you are here. Brene Brown once shared that, "Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” I believe that therapy provides a supported place to explore our story for the purpose of wholeness and healing.

I and my team work primarily with children, parents, and guardians seeking support for navigating the complexities of traumatic experiences. Trauma can affect every aspect of a person’s life, and in children can often lead to maladaptive behaviors and emotional distress. Whether it be family disruptions, grief and loss, or more acute incidents, for children who have experienced trauma, play therapy is a powerful tool for their healing journey. The ultimate goal is to foster resilience, emotional regulation, increase healthy coping mechanisms, and restore a sense of security in you or your child’s life.

Are you struggling with addiction, or loving someone who is? Are you worn out from the chaos and despair of it all? Despair and isolation does not have to be your new normal. I have navigated the chaos and confusion of betrayal and worked through the process of rebuilding my marriage. I started counseling years ago to fix my husband and discovered the real me in the process and found a place of great hope, purpose, & freedom. Today I work with couples to design and rebuild the marriage of their dreams. There is nothing that scares me in the marriage therapy work if both partners are willing to prioritize their relationship.

We are a highly trained team of talented and compassionate therapists working together to bring the latest treatment and technology to individuals, couples and families dealing with the impact and wreckage of betrayal, sex and pornography addiction, and unresolved emotional trauma.
