I have left a review in the past but happy to do so again! He is relatable, professional and always gives the comfort of not being judgemental and gently reminding me I'm there if and when I need him! Calm and patient! And have only used Kendall with better help as my therapist!

I want to write and let you know how amazing my therapist, Kendall, is. I've been working with him since April and it has been great so far. Kendall listens to my needs and respects what I want to get out of our sessions. He isn't judgmental at all and always makes it clear that this is my journey and I'm in control.
I'll be honest, I have used BetterHelp in the past and didn't have a great experience with a previous therapist. They were the exact opposite of Kendall. They were very judgmental about my personal preferences and frequently compared my life experiences to theirs. I'm glad that I found a new therapist that I really connect with and is helping me see the growth that I'm looking for.

Kendall is a thoughtful, respectful, and very sincere person. I feel I can trust him to hear me and not give me a canned, or thoughtless response. I respect him the most because he doesn't bullshit me.

Kendall is one of my most important tools in my journey of life. He is a guiding voice, makes me feel heard and accepts me as I am. Kendall doesn’t only focus on talk therapy- he asks tough questions. He challenges me and has helped me navigate my thoughts, emotions and behaviors. He is the reason why I am able to have better relationships today. I am grateful to have Kendall as my therapist.

I was discouraged initially after giving a few therapists a try, but then I had a session with Kendall and I haven’t looked back since. I can’t give enough praise.
He is an amazing listener. You’ll never have to tell him something twice, and makes you completely comfortable with being as vulnerable as possible.
He gives so many tools to refer to and educates you in how to better manage your thoughts and emotions.
His expertise and how he applies his knowledge has made this whole experience as painless as possible for this heavily guarded girl.

Kendall is attentive, professional, and an excellent listener. His ability to guide me to the work that I need to do to facilitate my growth is bar none. I could not recommend him higher.

Kendall is amazing. He’s helped guide me through a rough time in my life, and opened my eyes to many things that I didn’t even know I needed. He helps me dive deep, reflect back on the past and childhood to really get to the root of specific issues. Kendall has been compassionate and kind, but straight forward and brutally honest when appropriate and needed. I couldn’t recommend him more.
