Getting to know Kendra Andersson

Hi there, I'm Kendra! My name is Kendra, and I have a very informal approach to therapy. I enjoy laughing and commiserating with my clients and believe that they are best supported by a nonjudgmental therapist who truly cares about their well-being. I work from a strengths-based approach, and as a university professor, I love to connect science and research to help understand everyday issues. I hope to cultivate a space in which people can be their authentic selves and feel safe and supported as they do so. I earned both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Counseling Psychology from Simpson University, which laid a strong foundation for my clinical work and teaching. My approach I use Emotion-Focused Experiential, Brainspotting, and Cognitive Behavioral therapies primarily to help reduce the intensity of difficult experiences overall, increase support and relational satisfaction, and hopefully speed up the healing process while also applying practical steps to measure progress. My focus I enjoy working with adults on issues of emerging adulthood and career exploration, differentiation, and empowerment, as well as the navigation of romantic relationships. I also enjoy supporting new therapists, graduate students, and associates pursuing careers as therapists. Due to my own struggle and remission with chronic pain and acquired disability, I find it rewarding to work with others facing similar challenges. Additionally, I have extensive experience helping individuals manage and reduce panic attacks, particularly those related to car accidents and driving. My communication style Straightforward but kind and warm, I'm laid back and have a sense of humor about the difficulties in life. My journey to therapy I have suffered a lot of personal hardship, which has shaped my nonjudgmental stance. I've also been fortunate to have people invest in me to help me grow and overcome obstacles, and I enjoy the opportunity to pay it forward.
