Our therapists offer anger management therapy in Cornelius, NC

Hi, I'm Kendra, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 18 years of nursing experience, including more than 8 years dedicated to psychiatric and behavioral health care. Throughout my career, I've worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds across a variety of clinical settings. I have experience treating most mental health diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, psychosis, and other behavioral challenges. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about the next step in their mental health journey. 

My goal is to help you gain clarity, develop practical coping strategies, and find a treatment plan that fits your needs and goals. Whether that includes medication management, education, or therapy, I believe in working together as partners. I strive to create a safe, judgment-free environment where you feel heard and empowered in your care. 

Healing looks different for everyone, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you as you move toward greater balance, resilience, and wellness. 

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist, National Certified Counselor, and Certified Clinical Supervisor. I graduated from Wingate University in 1996 earning my Bachelor of Science degree in Human Services. I also graduated from Webster University in 2005, earning my Master of Arts degree in Mental Health Counseling. I work with all ages from 8-88 and all populations. Also, I work with various diagnoses, such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, addictions, PTSD, etc.

My approach to effective counseling treatment is Person Centered Therapy, which focuses on meeting the individual where they are, developing a rapport, and providing unconditional positive regard. Also, I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with an emphasis on Motivational Interviewing techniques.

When working with potential clients, I carefully tailor my approach to their specific needs, wants, dreams, desires, and outcomes. I provide active listening skills and unconditional positive regard; in other words, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental setting for my clients to feel heard and understood, without the fear of being judged or criticized.
