Kendal McDaniel, AMFT

About

Hi there! I'm Kendal, a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate based in Tennessee. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I am passionate about working with our community and can personally relate to how religious, childhood, relational, and societal trauma can impact sexuality and sexual orientation. Sexuality is a unique spectrum and is a beautiful part of who we are. In therapy together, you will find an accepting and safe space to explore all questions related to sexuality, sexual orientation and gender, relationships, and sense of self, all with compassion and care. You should be free to be who you are and to continue to discover your most authentic self.  I earned my masters degree from Lee University in 2020 and have since been working with couples and individuals to find healing, connection, and growth in a non-judgmental, non-religious space. I am trauma informed and utilize evidence-based therapies such as DBT, EFT, Somatic Experiencing, and Attachment-Based Therapy. I work with clients who experience or have experienced depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma or abuse, religious trauma, cancer, and women's health related diagnoses such as postpartum depression, PMDD, endometriosis, and PCOS. Whether you’re working towards a more connected relationship with your partner or looking for individual healing and self-exploration, I look forward to walking alongside you as you take the courageous next steps towards healing and growth. You are the expert of your own story, I'm simply here to help you make sense of what you bring into the therapy room and join with you in your process of healing. Your trauma or feelings will never be too much and you are not alone.
