"I welcome your rough edges, tender places, inner wisdom, and the search for more fulfillment. Together, we will invite self-compassion and acceptance around what is already happening, while also creating ways to experience more satisfying ways of treating yourself, being with others, and inhabiting your life. My clients include people who experience depression, anxiety, grief, anger, and shame, creative folks who are stalled at manifesting their potential, gentle souls who find it hard to navigate in a frenetic world, people who want to establish fresh relationship patterns, and those who are recovering their balance amidst life transitions."

"I believe that everyone deserves an opportunity to foster an understanding of their own mental health and create insight into what is needed in order to build healthy, personalized approaches to self-care, coping, and communication. Building this type of self-awareness and reaching the point of implementing these skills is often daunting, so connecting with a therapist to support you in processing through these experiences will help lead to genuine change. My focus is to work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and perfectionism, as well as couples that have difficulty establishing effective communication patterns."

"Hi, I'm Kendyl (she/her) and I'm glad you found me here! I am passionate about supporting people who are struggling and want to feel better. I also have a lot of experience and enthusiasm for working with the LGBTQ+ community, people living with or affected by HIV and AIDS, and individuals experiencing infertility, pregnancy, and more. I completed my Masters Degree in Social Work in 2004 and became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in 2007. I strive to offer an affirming environment for ALL people, regardless of body size or ability, racial identity, gender identity, religion, relationship status, and sexual behavior."

" I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 18 years of experience. I work with individuals of all ethnicities, genders, and sexual orientations, ranging in age from 18 through 65+. My philosophy stems from a belief that life is an ever-changing process that provides the opportunities for individuals to develop into their own person; however, due to trauma or other painful or problematic issues, we may become stuck. My approach is warm, interactive, collaborative, and individualized drawing on different therapeutic models which may include mindfulness, psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, and EMDR approaches."

"Starting therapy can be daunting, so I encourage you to reach out, even if you're uncertain where to start. I've witnessed profound impacts in my work with people, where shame becomes self acceptance and overwhelm becomes relief and ease. I welcome everyone who wants to work with me, and especially welcome those who may not have felt comfortable in therapy before, possibly due to experiencing marginality, societal oppression, or being shy. I also tend to work well with over achievers, sensitive introverts, and perfectionists struggling to find a stable sense of self worth. My practice is anti oppression and trauma informed."

"What's your greatest fear? Where does it hurt the most? These two questions plague us all at one time or another.

I'm here to partner with you, as together, we navigate those fears and hurts that have kept you from truly living a life of freedom and victory!"

"Over thousands of years, philosophers have developed tools to explore the good life--what makes life meaningful, joyful, and fulfilling. As a professional philosopher, I draw upon those tools to empower you think clearly, live purposefully, and choose confidently. In our sessions, I offer friendly and accessible conversation, compassionate listening, and a healthy dose of humor. Together, we investigate your deepest assumptions about what is true and important so we can challenge what is not working, develop what is, and find greater order, harmony, and power in your thoughts and actions. We awaken and cultivate your inner philosopher."

My interest is in deep authentic relational work, as it is my belief that we are at our best when we feel whole and connected."

"Welcome! I enjoy working with individuals and couples, and walking alongside them in their healing. I believe therapy is a collaborative experience between the family and therapist, that each client has the resiliency and resources they need already within, and that it is our job to uncover them. My work with clients considers biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors. I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing relational distress, sex concerns, infertility/pregnancy issues, transracial/transnational family dynamics, processing trauma, religion and spirituality, body-image concerns, or low self esteem. "

"Do you feel lost, like you aren't sure who you are or where you are going? Do you miss being a kid? Or perhaps you have a sense that everyone is, somehow, doing better than you. I can help. Whether you would like to improve your relationships with partners, friends, or family, explore feelings of grief in your own way without pressure to "get back to normal already," or find that sense of self and purpose that you might be missing, I provide a safe and confidential environment to process thoughts and feelings and gain insight, feedback and understanding."

"My personal style in therapy is optimistic and playful. My approach is eclectic, with a combination of focus towards theory based interventions balanced with intuition and spontaneity. I deeply value the power of human connection in the healing process and therapy as a collaborative process. I strive for inclusiveness and cultural competency in my work and am deeply committed to social justice. I help my clients explore meaning, past trauma, stressful life events, transitions, and identifying resources to help them feel empowered and hopeful. I have practiced therapy with children, families, couples and adults since 2009. "

"You may appear "fine" to those around you, but inside your emotions are intense and seem out of your control. You feel disconnected from your friends, your family and your life. It's overwhelming and you wonder how you got to this place. You desperately want to just, "let it go," but you don't know how. Right now, you're barely able to keep your head above water and if you don't get help soon, it feels like you might go under."

"Psychotherapy is often described as ‘the treatment of mental disorders,’ but that is only one of many reasons a person may seek services. Psychologists have the unique knowledge & expertise to draw connections between past relational patterns, individual brain chemistry, heritability of symptoms, emotional awareness, & thought processes/behaviors that perpetuate impairments in functioning. Psychotherapy isn’t a matter of asking a question & receiving advice - but rather learning the skills to make sense of life & building the confidence to take control of it."

"I have worked extensively with clients (All genders) struggling with Eating Disorders (Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating, ARFID, OSFED) negative body image, dysphoria, as well as mood, anxiety and spiritual related issues. My experience in Residential, PHP, IOP, and Outpatient treatment settings has given me the discernment to meet clients where they are and partner with them to move forward. My goal is for you to feel an embodied sense of vitality in connection to yourself and your relationships. All patterns of behavior have served as some form of adaptive coping, so I am both gentle and empowering in learning to let them go."

"Welcome! Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to introduce myself.
