About me

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and solution focused counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet the unique and specific needs of your child.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

I really enjoyed working with Kendra. She has a great sense of humor, while also being compassionate. She offers advice to help you overcome your anxiety, take better care of yourself and learn communication skills. I would definitely recommend Kenda.

She’s amazing! My first time seeking therapy services, so I was a little apprehensive and scared of how I might feel or what my therapist would be like. Having had two sessions, I’m glad I made the investment and that the best therapist was selected to meet my needs. Highly recommend her!

Kendra has exceeded my expectations. She listens and responds like we have been friends. She doesn’t sugarcoat anything and tells you what you don’t want to hear but need to hear. I appreciate her checking on me throughout her busy day or on the weekend.

We have only been with Kendra for 3 weeks but she has been amazing. She follows up and checks in every weekend to see how things are going. She goes above and beyond and I am looking forward to seeing the results and how its going to hopefully help my teenage son!

Ms. Simmons has been very helpful to me over a very short period of time and I look forward to working with her more! I love how she periodically checks in on me even if we don’t have an appointment to make sure I’m having a good day. It’s the little things like that that make me feel as though I can trust her!

So far I've been loving my sessions with Kendra (she rocks). I love that I can be myself and talk freely about the stress of being a wife, mother, and student. She's really helping me see that even while having all of those titles its okay to not know at times, and it's okay to take time for ME. Thanks for helping me express/breakdown my past issues Kendra.

Written on Jul 26, 2020 after therapy with Kendra for 3 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and self esteem

Kendra has been very encouraging and supportive in our sessions, and she makes it very easy to open up about my feelings and thoughts that I've been bottling in or feel like I have no one else to talk to about. She's provided exercises that help my issues, and even softly challenges me to keep pushing forward. I feel less stressed, and I feel positive about future talks. So far, so good!
