I am committed to providing strength-focused, client-centered therapy to individuals who are looking for strategies or ways to work with the challenges they have been carrying. My mission is to meet each person, wherever they are in life, and to provide effective mental health intervention that builds on the strengths of the individual and the environment in which that person lives. I believe the most successful outcomes, often start with challenging beginnings. (Challenges are defined by negative influences, thoughts, behaviors, or actions- including MH concerns,

I help people overcome life’s challenges so that they can grow and find the happiness they desire. I have a long history of working with those struggling with addiction as well as concerns related to sex and intimacy. From a mental health perspective, I work with clients who have anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems and some personality disorders.

It is common to experience stress and difficulty in everyday life. We may know exactly what the problem is, or we may be unaware of what is going on or how to make changes to resolve our difficulty. Coming into therapy can help us organize and understand what is happening in our lives. Therapy can also empower us to choose how we want to respond to our daily circumstances that fits with our authentic self.

At Kendra Snyder Therapy & Associates, our therapists specialize in supporting those who have been touched by adoption, grief, loss, trauma, and hurt from religion, as well as people who desire increased connection, to explore personal identity, and to find an authentic belief system or spirituality. We create an open and inviting space for others to engage in deep introspective reflection that helps foster creativity, authenticity, and expansion.

I believe in an empathic approach to therapy. It is important to me to meet clients where they are at, using a strengths-based and nonjudgmental approach. I draw from a variety of therapy modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, illness management and recovery and dialectical behavioral therapy. Additionally, I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for the treatment of trauma and PTSD. I believe in providing a safe and welcoming environment that allows individuals to effectively manage their lives and reach their highest potential.

Have you endured trauma, grief, or other negative experiences that impact your ability to live with authenticity and autonomy? Has religious trauma, spiritual abuse, or other adverse religious experiences created feelings of uncertainty, mistrust, and doubt of yourself and others? Are you navigating the loss of relationship through death, sickness, or divorce? If you are looking for support in these areas, seeking to deepen the relationship you hold to yourself, process trauma, grief and loss, or are hoping to find ways to experience greater freedom for authentic expression, I would love to support you.

We can be kind, strong, intelligent, and resourceful individuals and still there will be times when we need other people to support us, that’s just how we’re built. Acknowledging that vulnerability and asking for what we need is true wisdom. I honor and respect that in you. Every person is a unique expression of life, our work together supports you in embodying an authentic way of living. I deeply respect the painful things that bring people to seek support, as thresholds that offer the potential for healing, connection and purpose, and work to cultivate that optimism while also honoring the suffering that leads to such transitions

Beginning counseling for the first time can be frightening. The journey to emotional health takes courage. Sometimes you don't realize your own strength until you come face to face with your greatest challenges. Owning our own story and loving ourselves through that process is one of the bravest things that you will ever do. Your courageous journey in counseling is a way to reach personal goals, reduce suffering, and get more joy out of life. We have an unlimited capacity to heal ourselves, despite the pain we've suffered.

I am here to provide hopeful, strength based therapy during times of transition. This practice is based on trust and understanding and recognizes that every individual and family is unique. Therapy is a partnership with you and your path in discovering resilience during difficult life experiences. Clients will find a safe place to create a plan for healing and growth.I've had the privilege to work with individuals, couples, families and groups since 1999. I've had a book published, This Thing Called Grief: New Understandings of Loss. It can be found in most libraries, amazon.com and local book stores.

Watching someone you love struggle can be painful. It can be hard to watch someone you love experience the ups and downs of entering recovery and then falling back into old behavior patterns. They can get caught up in their head looking for the perfect answer – or any answer – to solve their problems. Often people find themselves in an uncomfortable limbo of not knowing what to do in those moments of struggle. These are the moments that a professional outside the situation can provide a space for you to reflect and explore how to create a life with less pain and more joy.

I've had the honor of journeying with hundreds of people over the last 30 years who are facing difficult life transitions. I value people's strengths, experience, knowledge and dreams in THEIR counseling, and I believe deeply that we all can change in profound ways.

Asking for support can be difficult but you do not have to struggle alone. Counseling can help you find solutions and guide you through difficult life transitions, in which you can emerge stronger. I work collaboratively with you to cultivate self-compassion, balance and inner peace and decrease negative self-talk. Whether it is learning how to embrace who you are or learning how to make healthier choices, I provide a safe and supportive space to explore life's challenges and live your most authentic life.

Deciding to make changes in your life can often be overwhelming. Uncertainty and self-doubt can make a path forward seem impossible. Through our work together, I can assist you in identifying the changes you would like to enact in your own life and help establish how to get there. If you find yourself feeling stuck in emotional pain or problems, therapy can be a catalyst for change you seek. Often times, how we handle stress in the present can make it difficult to realize the things we want out of life in the long run. Learning how to manage stress more effectively gives us access to new opportunities.

When you are feeling overwhelmed but aren't sure how things can change, I can help. When you find that you keep making the same mistakes, doing things you promised yourself you would stop, I can help. Behavior changes are more than just applying logic to your situation. If it was only logic, you would have figured it out by now. I focus on how the brain processes experiences. I can provide the space to sort things out and finally make sense of those old patterns.
