Kendra Spiva

My communication style

I create a safe, trusted environment where you feel supported, guided, and valued. Through active listening and building rapport, I ensure you feel heard and respected. When you feel valued, it makes all the difference in developing coping strategies, building resilience, and navigating challenges.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey began watching my mother help others in her family and community. I learned early that helping others goes a long way. My passion is rooted in being part of the solution to changing people's lives, providing healing and inspiring support that promotes lasting positive change.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting through a collaborative, client-centered process. We'll identify your strengths, values, and aspirations to set SMART goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. I provide support, encouragement, and accountability, reviewing and adjusting goals as needed to reflect your progress.

Our first session

You can expect a warm, welcoming, non-judgmental environment where you feel safe to share. We'll discuss what brought you to therapy and any specific goals you have. I'll ask questions to understand your background and current situation. This is also your time to ask questions about therapy and confidentiality.

I identify as...

• Female
• Black or African American
