Kendall Herr (she/her)

My Background and Approach

I started my career working in the school system as a support to students in elementary school and went on to become a school counselor in a rural high school for the last 3 years. I have experience working with children and teens navigating the challenges of school and life outside of school. As much as I loved being a school counselor, I have transitioned into mental health counseling because I wanted to be able to help on a deeper level. I take time to really get to know my clients to help determine the best course of action to help. I use a variety of interventions ranging from CBT to Person Centered and also work with kids using art and play therapy.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that change is possible with the right support, tools, and the determination to put in the hard work to make it happen. I believe that creating a strong connection with my clients is vital because healing and growth happens when you feel safe and heard. Suicide prevention/intervention have been a big part of my career. I have created prevention programs in schools and train staff on interventions. I became a counselor because I have had a few different counselors help me along my journey and I would not be where I am without them. I hope to be that for you! I have a passion for helping people and it is truly an honor to have people let me in their world and hear their stories.
