Tiara Kendrick LPCC

From the first session, you will see that I am not the typical counselor. My clients usually enjoy the fact that I am conversational, and I enjoy building trust and rapport with a realistic optimism. I am able to offer you hope and growth in each session. I will challenge you, but also support and help you, to identify the thoughts, behaviors, moods, and patterns that are keeping you stuck. I provide a proven and effective system to help you reduce negative perspectives, deal with negative people and change negative choices and reactions to more healthy, positive, and beneficial ones in order to release peace, confidence, healing, joy, motivation, and other positives in your life. I listen for your strengths and help you use the ones you have and build new ones to change your life!

I use CBT skills on a regular basis to help you understand how not only situations and actions that happen to you affect you, but also how your opinion about that situation will create feelings and those contribute to your behaviors. I also use strengths based therapy approaches each session to help you identify your resources, and positive characteristics and how we can apply them to the challenges you have come to each session with. I am also very effective at using problem solving, teaching skill building such as communication, budgeting, and coping skills. I often use a solutions focused method as well, where we may look at past times where you have felt more successful, and experienced more happiness and positives to find out what worked in those times and apply them to the present.
