I started out as a kid from Queens, NY who volunteered on the weekends working with individuals with autism while I was in high school. That propelled me into the world of social services. From there, I worked with individuals with severe psychiatric concerns, to families in need throughout NYC, the shelter system, students in higher education, residential group homes for system impacted adolescence and community mental health in the Southern California region. I believe we all have our stories from lived experiences that play a direct role in our daily struggles. This is why I utilize a psychodynamic & mindfulness approach that helps folks to understand what factors of their past feeds the stressors of their present and how to live more freely in the “now”.

Psychotherapy relies heavily on the rapport between therapist and client, without it growth and trust cease to exist. I work towards understanding your needs and wants in a nonjudgmental safe, supportive, and empathetic environment. I believe mental health issues are a symptom of deeper, unresolved emotional issues and childhood wounds. I work with teenagers 13+, adults, couples, and families. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify irrational thoughts and faulty thinking that are the main culprits behind anxiety and stress. I also utilize psychodynamic therapy to help uncover past issues, such as family dynamics and childhood issues. My full fee is $200 for individuals and $250 for couples, however I do work on a sliding scale as well.

Families often come to seek more information on how to establish and produce healthier habits that benefit their well-being and self-esteem. They learn that the healthier they are, it increases their happiness and in turn benefits relationships. Kendall helps families and individuals explore and identify who they are, their communication style and how to protect these realizations with healthy boundaries. After learning more about themselves, families often feel much more equipped to decrease or rid themselves of symptoms that prompt them to seek therapy initially. It's always an honor, privilege and a wonderful opportunity to process with families in their sacred spaces. Consider starting your journey to Optimum Wellness today by scheduling a Live Session with Kendall Bradford, LCSW and Associates.

Thank you for visiting our group practice page, No Limit Trauma Specialty Group. We appreciate you in advance for taking interest in our supportive services. I am Christine, owner and lead clinician of our practice. I am a licensed clinical social worker that specializes in treating trauma using Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, integrative medicine, and other modes of therapy that support each individual in reconnecting with the loving person within. Aside from my personal and familial experiences with mental health, I have worked in the mental health field for 16 years, have had the pleasure of working in various settings with client's of all ages at different stages of life. Through all of my experiences working with client's, the one commonality I have observed amongst them all has been the need to address unresolved past pain that seems to continuously show up in the present day for people, causing disfunction, a lack of self love, and unending unhappiness. I am not a healer, I am simply a person who supports people to discover their own power, inner wisdom and strengths. I help people get the barriers out of the way so that they can love themselves no matter what their pain or circumstances may be. I utilize a humanistic approach (striving to help people uncover, address, reprocess, and heal from their trauma to meet their highest protentional); while seeing healing through a holistic lens (working to help individuals heal by reconnecting mind, body and spirit). If you are ready to heal the wounded inner child, who we like to call "the little", our supportive services may be the best fit for you. To ensure we are a good fit, we require a consultation call prior to finalizing appointments. We look forward to connecting with you and discovering your needs. ​

I am a helper. And I help people who are currently struggling with depressive, anxious, and other mental illness-related symptoms. I help them expand their mindfulness, improve their assertive communication skills, and view themselves, and, consequently, the rest of the world, as living beings worthy of love and respect. I don't merely believe in therapy, I know first-hand the beneficial power it can provide. Before seeking mental health services for myself, not only did I suffer from low self-esteem and other depressive symptoms, I also suffered from severely disturbing panic attacks. I am grateful each and every day that I no longer suffer from those symptoms. This is just one of many reasons why mental health is the greatest passion of my life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years of practice and experience. My passion is to empower you to live as your most authentic self, no matter what challenges life has presented. I combine traditional psychotherapy with the transformative practices of Kundalini yoga and meditation, guiding you from what may feel like darkness back into your radiant, authentic light. I strive to create a space of healing and growth where you feel supported, safe, and seen. My hope is to help you challenge yourself to step into—and truly own—your inner light. If you are carrying the weight of past or current stressors, trauma, anxiety, depression, or self-esteem issues, you owe it to yourself to heal and grow. This is your opportunity to dedicate time and care to you.

Sometimes, the most profound connections are formed when someone truly listens.I’m Cintia, here not just to hear, but to deeply understand you. In a world where trauma and anxiety often drown out our inner voices, I know that beneath the spoken words, lies a heart’s true narrative. What a degree in Clinical Psychology and a seven-year journey as a therapist has allowed me to is delve deep into the realms of trauma, anxiety, and depression. While these are my primary focuses, I also bring profound insights into PTSD, intricate family dynamics, relationship challenges, and concerns faced by the LGBTQ community.

Chronic pain is a false alarm. "Try putting ice on it. Try putting heat on it. Try sleeping on a giant magnet. Just ignore it." Some things are impossible to ignore. Pain is designed to be unignorable. When your body tells you there's a problem, it makes sure you listen. Pain helps protect our bodies from harm. Pain is like a conversation between body and brain. But as in any conversation, sometimes there are misunderstandings. You want your life back. Pain Reprocessing Therapy can help. I had suffered with chronic pain for many years, until Pain Reprocessing Therapy cured my chronic pain. I am excited to bring this relief to others! In 15 sessions or less, let me offer hope, and a way out. You have been ignored, gaslighted, and drained of your cash over many years of unsuccessful remedies for your pain. Pain Reprocessing Therapy targets learned neural pathways in the brain, and reverses them. If you have a diagnosed or suspected mental health condition, PRT is still effective.
