Qualifications

​

Hi! My name is Kendall (she/her/hers), and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I received my Master's Degree in Psychology from Florida International University with a focus in counseling psychology, and I received my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from the University of South Florida St. Petersburg. 

​

I have worked across multiple levels of care at eating disorder treatment centers-including residential, PHP, IOP, and outpatient settings. This experience provides me with a unique understanding of the challenges that clients can face at each stage of recovery. In addition to this, I have also worked within the non-profit sector to provide therapeutic services to survivors of sexual violence. Along with specializing in eating disorders and trauma, I also enjoy helping those who deal with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, life transitions, and women's issues.

Style

I believe that every individual is unique, and therapy is something that must be tailored to each individual. My clients have described me as warm, compassionate, and calm. I am an LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent affirming therapist. My approaches are person centered, trauma informed, and feedback-informed to ensure that you feel you are getting what you need from therapy. I use a blend of different techniques to meet clients where they are and guide them towards lasting change with empathy and practical support. Some of the techniques I use include:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy

  • EMDR

  • Psychodynamic

  • Motivational Interviewing

  • Exposure Therapy

  • Feminist Theory

  • Humanistic Theory

  • Body Neutrality

  • Solution-Focused Therapy
