Kendra Waddy, MS, LMFTA
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families work through trauma, anxiety, and life’s challenges. I hold a B.S. in Psychology from the University of West Georgia and an M.S. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Auburn University, with advanced training in EMDR and other evidence-based approaches.
If you’re someone who’s used to staying strong, keeping it together, or performing under pressure, you might look fine on the outside while feeling overwhelmed or disconnected on the inside. I work with high-achieving adults, people who are disciplined, focused, or accustomed to pushing through stress, yet struggle to access their emotions, slow down, or feel grounded. My clients often come from structured, demanding, or competitive environments where emotional expression wasn’t encouraged. Over time, this can lead to burnout, anxiety, overthinking, or feeling out of touch with your body.
Approach to Therapy
I use EMDR, somatic techniques, EFT, and IFS parts work to help you move beyond insight and reconnect with the parts of yourself you’ve had to suppress to succeed or stay composed. In our work together, we’ll explore how your internal system adapted to stress or performance expectations, and how to create a more grounded, connected way of being. Whether you’re navigating identity shifts, life transitions, relationship changes, or the weight of long-held expectations, therapy can give you a safe space to slow down and tune into yourself in a new way. If you’re ready to stop operating in survival mode and start reconnecting with who you are beneath the pressure, I’m here to support you.
