Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Greenville, NC covered by Cigna

I have experience in several treatment settings, including inpatient and outpatient. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, and various addictions, as well as seniors experiencing challenges unique to their life phase.

Welcome to the first step to your healing journey!

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about coming home to yourself. If you’re ready to feel more grounded, more seen, and more aligned with who you really are, I’d be honored to walk that path with you.

I am passionate about helping people find clarity, healing, and a deeper connection to themselves. I work with adults and older adults navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, and life transitions—and I offer a space where you don’t have to hold it all alone. I was drawn to this work because of my own journey. Growing up, I often found myself holding space for others—listening deeply, asking questions, and offering comfort. Over time, I realized that being present with people in their pain, and witnessing their growth, was not just something I cared about—it was something I was meant to do. That sense of purpose continues to guide me today.

Im Kendra, I have a bachelors in fine art, and I received my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2022. I draw on four years of working in community mental health with folks recovering from substance abuse and behaviors that no longer helpful or are directly harming relationships and mental health. I have lived experience with recovery and loving people struggling with addiction. I have been described as a warm, curious, compassionate, and empowering counselor. I offer trauma‐informed care that is inclusive to all humans, healing happens when you can show up as your authentic and full self!

I hold a Masters Degree in Social Work from the University of Tennessee and hold my clinical licensure in the state of North Carolina.

As a mother, I am invested in the wellness of all mothers and women and feel deep appreciation for the way mothers show up for countless others before themselves. I look forward to learning how I can walk alongside you in this journey.

My desire is to create a safe, non-judgmental environment to aid in facilitating change and growth. Whether you're going through a life transition or relational strain, anxiety or depression, my goal is to empower you to find the tools within yourself to initiate a positive transformation within your life and relationships. Let's focus on navigating and guiding you through the change process to cultivate a deeper self awareness to discover a more peaceful state of mind.

Are you questioning your relationship with substances or other behaviors, and want to make changes?

Is your child engaging in substance use or other risky/addictive behaviors, and you want to artfully guide them towards healthier decisions, or they’re interested in shifting their use?

Would you like support with creating family screen guidelines that keep your kids healthy, safe, and responsible, while reducing battles over it all?

Are you disconnected from your adolescent and eager for "teen whispering" skills to improve your relationship?

Then I’ve got you!

In the middle of college, at 19, I found myself in rehab, struggling with multiple addictions. This rerouted me from my dreams of Broadway to sparking a 30+ year career in the fields of prevention, early intervention and treatment of substance use disorders and other addictions. I have worked in inpatient and outpatient substance use treatment with adolescents and adults, in therapeutic schools, as a middle and high school counselor, and as a parenting coach.

I’m licensed as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Internationally Certified Advanced Alcohol & Drug Counselor, Prevention Specialist, and certified in Digital Health & Wellness. It's also important you know that my own family and close social circle are diverse humans, and I'm comfortable and specially trained to work with LGBTQ+, racial, cultural and religious diversity.

I see counseling as a walk between two people, a time to discuss the ups and downs of life. I am person centered; solution focused and draw from a wide range of CBT mindfulness and Accelerated Resolution Therapy techniques that will help my clients find their own unique path in life.

I have devoted extra time to Impact Therapy, which provides the client with immediate support and constant feedback. We don't waste time, and client wellbeing is the focus of each session. I've also completed Level II NARM training for clients with severe/complex trauma, and I look forward to using these models to provide the best possible outcome.

Being here for you during your most vulnerable moments is truly a gift to me. I feel honored to listen and hold space for you so that you can move through whatever is bothering you. My hope is to help you realize your full potential in a space of non-judgment, comfort and healing.

I earned my Masters Degree in Social Work from the University of Georgia. From there I started working with Veterans at the VA, which I have been doing for the past 15 years. I specialize in trauma informed care, strengths based therapy and solution oriented care.
