Emily A Kendall

Emily Kendall is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor who works with adolescents ages 12 and older, college students, adults, and seniors. She earned her Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adler University.

Emily supports clients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, eating disorders, substance use, relationship and family stress, and life transitions. She especially enjoys working with college-aged clients, adults, and seniors navigating the pressures and changes associated with school, careers, relationships, independence, family responsibilities, and other stages of adulthood.

Emily recognizes that therapy is not one-size-fits-all. She takes time to understand each client’s personality, experiences, strengths, and goals, then tailors treatment to meet their individual needs. She creates a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can comfortably explore their thoughts, emotions, relationships, and behavioral patterns. Emily helps clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves and practical strategies they can use in everyday life.

Her approach incorporates evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. Emily balances compassionate support with gentle challenges that encourage clients to recognize unhelpful patterns, build effective coping skills, and make meaningful changes.

As a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, Emily also has specialized experience treating substance use disorders, eating disorders, gambling and co-occurring mental health concerns. Her background includes work in residential and intensive outpatient treatment settings, giving her a strong understanding of the complexities of addiction and recovery. Emily helps clients and their families better understand the treatment options available and develop realistic plans that reflect their individual needs and circumstances.

Emily is currently accepting new clients for both in-office and telehealth appointments.
