Welcome! I'm Kendra Pepper-Graham, LCSW I am so glad you are here! We all have a journey, and this path may come with twists and turns. Many of them are unwanted and feel extremely overwhelming. Thank you for exploring ways to change your life. Connection and compassion are my keys to starting your new life. Building a strong, safe environment for you to feel comfortable, is vital in therapy. My approach is based on strength’s perspective and client-centered therapy working together to achieve the outcomes you need. Each member of a family experiences and communicates those stressors differently. Let me assist you in experiencing improved communication and piecing together a new path! I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life. Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will go over the expectations of therapy, what you would like to work on, making sure that you feel comfortable and sharing a little bit of what brought you to counseling at this time. This time is all about you! Making sure you feel safe and secure in our I first meeting together. I am here for you!
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I feel my greatest strengths are making my clients feel seen, heard and cared for! I create a safe environment f to share their thoughts and feelings. With no judgment, just acceptance and humor if they like. I recognize coming to counseling can be a huge step, and I value each journey with my clients!
