After years of little growth and unfruitful chatting with therapists, I can say I've finally found one I can trust. Dr. Kendah is incredibly smart and gifted. I appreciate her direct approach, honesty and empathy. I cannot imagine making the progress I've made without her help. I now have tools and understandings that will keep me growing.
