Getting to know Kendra Oliver

Hi there, I'm Kendra! Hi! My name is Kendra Oliver, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Los Angeles, CA, working with clients and families via telehealth. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of California, Los Angeles. For me, therapy is about improving your quality of life to ensure that you are living up to your optimal potential. Over the last 25 years, I have worked in Mental and Behavioral Health with children, adolescents, adults, and families seeking change to improve an area in life. My approach My approach to therapy is individualized, emphasizing respect for my clients’ unique ways of experiencing the world. I use a strength-based approach, encourage self-confidence, create sensory-friendly experiences, and honor individualized communication styles. I use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) interventions while collaborating with support networks and community-based resources when indicated. My focus I have enjoyed working with autistic individuals of all ages with mental health challenges, including autism, developmental disabilities, anxiety, ADHD, depression, Cerebral Palsy, Down syndrome, and Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. I have expertise working with neurodiverse populations and their loved ones. My communication style First and foremost, I want to ensure my clients feel heard, comfortable, and safe. Meeting with a therapist can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to overcome this by establishing a meaningful clinical relationship. My journey to mental healthcare I have always had a passion for helping people and a strong sense of empathy. My desire to support others in overcoming challenges, healing from trauma, and achieving personal growth is driven by the privilege of witnessing people’s resilience. Being part of a transformative process to foster connection and purpose is deeply fulfilling.
