Getting to know VaKendall Long
Hi, I’m VaKendall.
Do you have a child who struggles to focus in school or faces difficulties at home? Are you in need of help finding the right support for your child?
You have come to the right place. I aim to help young individuals—specifically children and teenagers—tackle the underlying causes of their challenges. My specialization is in supporting those who are struggling with depression, anxiety, behavioral challenges, anger management issues, and trauma. Helping people from all walks of life navigate life’s challenges brings me great satisfaction.
If your child is going through a difficult time and struggling with anxiety, depression, or any other challenge, I am here to offer my assistance. I am committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for your child to express their feelings and work through their challenges. My priority is to be a helpful and reliable resource for your family during this time, dedicated to supporting your child’s well-being.
I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Union University, which equips me with the knowledge and skills to provide exceptional care. Seeking therapy is a smart and courageous choice. Your child deserves a safe space to heal and thrive. Throughout our sessions, I will deliver highly effective techniques that empower you or your child to conquer obstacles and embark on a new journey with confidence. We should collaborate!
What should a new client know about working with you?
You can expect a therapeutic environment that is compassionate, empathetic, and safe. My role is to offer insights into your child's experiences, advice on how to handle issues and evidence-based treatment for mental health conditions.

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.
