​
Kendall is certified in TF-CBT and EMDR - two of the most researched therapies for resolving unpleasant, painful and/or traumatic life experiences. Kendall also takes a psychodynamic approach which focuses on recognizing, acknowledging, understanding, expressing, and overcoming negative and contradictory feelings and repressed emotions. This includes understanding how repressed earlier emotions affect current decision-making, behavior, and relationships. Clients learn to analyze and resolve their current issues and change their behavior in current relationships through this deep exploration and analysis of earlier experiences and emotions.
