My name is Dr. Kendra A. Surmitis, and I provide a comfortable, private space for individuals seeking personalized counseling, psychoanalysis, and dream work. Do you wonder about the impact of your early relationships on your ability to enjoy your life and relationships today? Are you interested to learn more about your personality and avenues for greater life fulfillment? We will work together to find meaningful answers to your deepest questions while supporting your quality of life. I invite you to visit my practice website for information and to contact me directly for a complimentary consultation.
I am suited to treat a variety of personal and relational concerns including: anxiety, personality issues, depression, relationship concerns, and trauma. As an author and researcher, I have areas of specific focus in self-authorship, self-injury, and dreams. I also specialize in wellness perspectives in counseling.
My practice is a private location for you to begin your personal counseling experience. Located conveniently between Chapel Hill and Durham, my office is near I-40 and 15-501. In addition to teletherapy, psychoanalytic psychotherapy, and wellness-focused counseling, I offer trauma-sensitive yoga as well as psychoanalysis. I am licensed in VA, MD, and NC.
