I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama with more than 14 years of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, parenting concerns, career stress, substance use and recovery, and life transitions.
My counseling style is warm, welcoming, and collaborative. I believe you deserve a space where you can feel heard, respected, and understood without judgment. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Reality Therapy, tailoring treatment to your individual needs, strengths, and goals.
Seeking therapy is an act of courage. You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. Whether you’re ready to heal, rebuild your confidence, strengthen your relationships, or simply feel more like yourself again, I’m here to support you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I have had nothing but a pleasant and helpful experience with Kendra young as my therapist
Therapy was a bit intimidating at first. Now I’m excited about the sessions and proud to be doing the work that is needed for me to be a Husband , Father and Man.
She is attentive and understanding.
I knew my issues weren’t particularly complicated, but what I didn’t know is that I needed someone who can both coach and counsel me. Kendra is both. I’m glad to have been matched with her.
She’s wonderful
