Welcome! I'm Kendra, and I am an independent Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois. I have eight years of clinical experience in various settings, such as the Department of Corrections, foster care, higher education, alternative schools, career coaching and private practice. I am a Master Gardener Intern and currently incorporate horticulture-based practices into my work with some clients. This incorporation has allowed clients to learn new long-term skills and create greater awareness for their mind, body, and wellness connection.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
As your therapist, my goal is to exceed the standard expectation of helping you "get better" but to also create a safe space and promote healthy, authentic relationships with my clients that transfer over into their everyday lives. By increasing the clients sense of self we will incorporate your strengths and find connections to improve your problem areas. The focal point of each session is improving your overall wellness and increasing your self-awareness.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked with people from all different backgrounds and spaces in life over the last 8 years, I have curated a talent for broaching difficult issues and curating a connection between clients and the version of themselves they desire to be.
