Meet Kendra, LMHC
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of New York. I provide individual counseling, career counseling and workshops. I have a broad range of experience working with diverse populations. I am experienced in providing comprehensive support to individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities, traumatic and acquired brain injuries. My philosophy is that every individual can thrive with a strong circle of support, sense of community and understanding of one’s strengths and challenges. I apply a strengths-based approach to help clients overcome life’s challenges and rise to their true potential.
In addition to Rising Tides Wellness, I am employed as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor within a school setting. I work to maximize students' success by providing short term individual and group counseling services. I guide students in developing skills to better understand oneself and manage emotions. I work with students to increase their self- confidence, strengthen their interpersonal skills, and learn to become self-advocates so that they can reach optimal success.
Previously, I was employed at a local non-profit, serving individuals with developmental disabilities as a vocational manager and career counselor.
