Therapists in Huntsville, AL

Have you just found out that your spouse or significant other has been engaging in sexual behaviors and lying about it? Maybe it was sexting, an emotional affair, pornography, or other sexual behaviors. Whatever it was, it was kept from you and you feel lied to, betrayed, and fooled. Or maybe you are the one engaging in sexual behaviors that you have tried to stop but, no matter how much effort you put into stopping, you return to that same behavior over and over. Maybe you are grieving a relationship loss, trying to figure out how to parent now that things have changed or you just feel stuck in the same old patterns.

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.

When your life doesn’t fit the stories they tell, when your experience doesn’t match a list of symptoms, when you’re ready to find, or perhaps recover, your voice.

Relationships are of utmost value for many of us. As valuable as they are for us they can be equally rewarding and challenging. Satisfaction in relationships can be influenced by many variables. When our relationships are in a place where we feel stuck, dissatisfied, not loved or valued is when one starts questioning the ability to continue moving forward. Research has shown this affect our overall health and satisfaction in life. If you find yourself in that place with your partner, significant other and/or spouse seeking help sooner rather than later is important. Don't wait until is too late.

My approach is ideal for clients who are interested in actively creating a joyful life. I think of the counseling process as a journey, and on the road of life you are in charge of choosing your own destination, mapping out possible routes, and driving the bus. My role as a therapist is to serve as a neutral sounding board, to encourage you to approach your journey with curiosity, and to teach the skills necessary to remain mindful of your feelings, to use your values to guide personal choices, and to reframe unhelpful thoughts while honoring your experiences. Also, like any good copilot, I will occasionally provide snacks.
