“Kendra does an amazing job. The work we have been doing so far had been helping me unveil the intricacies of my unhappiness, social anxiety and lack of connection. Though seeming simple the realizations she's helped me arrive to over the last few weeks were the exact next steps I have been looking for to improve the quality of my life by way of mental health. The process is just starting and I can already see how her impact will help eliminate the thought patterns that no longer serve my constant improvement.”

Getting to know Kendra Hamilton
I have been in the mental health field for 5 years. I graduated from California State University, Northridge with a Master’s in Social Work degree. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from symptoms and emotional distress.
I have extensive experience treating complex trauma, anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidal ideation, anger issues, relationship challenges, family conflict, and stress. Some diagnoses I have worked with include General and Specific Anxiety Disorders, Major Depressive Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, Personality Disorders, Eating Disorders, and Substance Use Disorders. The populations I have served range from ages 2 to 70 and include individuals from low socioeconomic backgrounds, the LGBTQIA+ community, and people of color.
I believe in working side by side with my clients. To me, the key components of the therapeutic relationship are transparency and communication. Therapy is a journey in which you are the expert of your own life, and I am your mentor and guide. I am committed to empowering you to make meaningful changes. My approach uses the safe and supportive environment of therapy to foster healthier habits through coping skills and psychoeducation tailored to your needs. Theoretical frameworks that ground my practice include strengths-based, solution-focused, narrative theory, and psychotherapy. I believe in therapy because I believe people have the power to heal when given the opportunity.
