Meet Kendra Welcome—I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a licensed clinical social worker and the founder of Kindred Hearts Healing Counseling. With over 13 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families, I specialize in helping people work through trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and a range of emotional struggles.
My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where healing feels possible—and where every part of you is welcome.
I use a range of evidence-based approaches to help clients heal, grow, and create meaningful change in their lives. Because every individual is unique, therapy is tailored to your specific needs through the following modalities:
CBT is a structured, goal-focused approach that helps you identify and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. By recognizing the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions, you gain practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and other life challenges.
IFS provides a framework for understanding and working with the different “parts” of yourself—such as self-critical, anxious, or overwhelmed parts—through curiosity and compassion rather than judgment. By strengthening connection to your calm, core Self, this approach supports healing, integration, and a more authentic sense of self.
ACT encourages mindfulness and acceptance of difficult thoughts and emotions while helping you clarify and live by your personal values. Instead of struggling against challenges, this approach equips you to build psychological flexibility and move forward with greater resilience and purpose.
Grounded in decades of research, the Gottman Method focuses on improving communication, rebuilding trust, and fostering deeper emotional connection. Couples learn practical strategies to navigate conflict, repair after setbacks, and strengthen their relationship, whether facing significant challenges or seeking to enhance closeness.
To make therapy accessible, I accept a range of insurance plans and also offer affordable self-pay options. Whether you are covered through your provider or prefer to pay directly, you can choose the option that best fits your needs.
