Kendall Small

Embracing a holistic approach to mental health, Kendall Small combines traditional counseling techniques with mindfulness-based practices to create a unique healing experience. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LCMHCA #A17997), Kendall specializes in guiding adults through life's challenges using a person-centered approach grounded in existential thought.

Kendall's therapeutic journey began at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where he earned his Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. This academic foundation, coupled with his certification as a yoga instructor (CYT-200) and reiki practitioner, allows him to offer a comprehensive approach to healing that addresses the body, mind, and spirit.

In his practice, Kendall creates a nonjudgmental and empathetic space where clients can explore the depths of their experiences. He facilitates healing work for individuals grappling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, life transitions, grief & loss, stress management, ADHD, codependency, and self-esteem concerns. As an LGBTQIA+ affirming clinician, Kendall ensures that all clients feel welcomed and understood.

Kendall's toolkit extends beyond traditional counseling methods. He incorporates mindfulness-based techniques such as breath work, meditation, grounding exercises, and energy medicine into his sessions. These practices help clients resolve emotional pain, regulate their nervous systems, and reconstruct limiting belief systems. Additionally, Kendall is trained in Eye-Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), offering an evidence-based approach to addressing traumatic experiences.

With a commitment to ongoing professional development, Kendall has pursued additional certifications and trainings, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (2023), Trauma-Sensitive Yoga Training (2021), and Yoga of 12-Step Recovery Leadership (2020). This diverse skill set allows him to tailor his approach to each client's unique needs, fostering a collaborative healing journey that empowers individuals to let go of ways of being that no longer serve them and embrace those that do.
