Getting to know Kendra Gooding

Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California with four years of experience. I received my Master's in Social Work from Simmons University in Boston. I am here to help you work through your current life challenges with the goal of helping you become the version of yourself that brings you peace of mind. I have experience with a variety of populations, backgrounds, and needs. I do not believe that people are cookie-cutter; instead, I feel it is essential to tailor my therapeutic approach to best suit each client. I am also a great match for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community, as I am a CODA who is fluent in ASL as a second language.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Kendra has been such an incredible help. I’ve been processing a lot of challenges and transitions and her support has been so valuable.
I can't say enough how amazing kendra is. She helps me in ways I've never been helped before. I'm so thankful for her and would recommend her to everyone
She is very caring and understanding and I feel like I can open up about anything with her and my depression has gotten so much better even since I started seeing her. Felt like I’ve known her forever she just gives a very healing presents on our video appointments.
Kendra has provided me with the tools I need to navigate through the toughest time of my life. I can’t express how grateful I am.
Kendra is most if not all of the word above that I'm only allowed to pick 2 of. I feel heard by her, I feel validated, and she goes then steps further by challenging me enthusiastically, with some homework for me to think about, brainstormed about, dog a little deeper in, and bring the window I've come up with after that reflection to my next appointment. So it guided and pushing me to get a little out of my comfort zone, which I know will over time get me unstick and not feeling stagnant and like I'm waiting my life.... Which I early look forward to, having a semce of purpose and a semce of .,. I have all the confidence that Kendra is going to help me climb out of the quicksand! Hopeful, hopeful feels so refreshing!v!!
She is solution oriented, holistic and warm.
Kendra is all of the above and more so! She is caring, a great listenner, gives great advice/tools to help me. I dont know what I'd do without her at this juncture in my life. She has become like a sister to me, someone I can easily speak to and open up to about my pains and troubles. I am sincerely grateful for her time devoted to helping me. She is simply amazing and the perfect therapist for me. Joe
Having success in working with Kendra who has been helpful in offering solutions and coping skills. Lucky to have found her. Thank you!
