The Kindred Approach

We believe healing is a human process, not a clinical one.

Guiding principles

What we know to be true.

Clarity with Compassion

Warm directness is a form of kindness.

We will not make you guess what we are thinking. We engage with you, ask hard questions with deep empathy, and believe that clarity is the fastest path to change. We are in this with you, not just observing from across the room.

Your Wisdom First

You are the expert on your own life.

You are not coming to us to be told what to do. You are coming to us to be guided back to the wisdom you already hold. Our job is to provide the tools, the framework, and the safe space for you to untangle the noise and hear your own voice again.

Strength in Relationship

Healing happens in connection

The name "Kindred" is our mission. It represents the shared, fundamental humanity that connects us all. The relationship we build—one of trust, safety, and zero judgment—is the most powerful tool we have.

Our PRACTITIONORS

Three therapists,
one philosophy.

Each of us brings unique specialties, but we’re united by a shared philosophy of care.
