Kendra Silver M.S.

Kendra Silver believes counseling can be a powerful tool to help restore balance in one's life and relationships. She believes you seek out counseling to find the support and help you need to make changes in your life. Kendra offers a caring, supportive environment for you to explore yourself, your situation, and your relationships.

Kendra utilizes a systems approach to therapy and primarily employs solution focused interventions. Solution focused therapy capitalizes on the already existing strengths and resources of the family or individual. Often, when we are struggling, we forget our past successes and need support to bring these strengths and resources to the forefront. Kendra takes a collaborative and supportive approach in therapy. She practices empathetic listening while helping her clients develop greater awareness of their past and current successes and strengths.

At Foundations Counseling, Kendra works with clients who seek counseling for a variety of reasons, including:

• Relationship and family issues - couples and marital therapy, communication skill development, conflict resolution, anger management, addictions, affair recovery, divorce recovery, parenting challenges, blended family issues, multi-generational families, women's issues, adolescent issues, parenting skills for child ADD/ADHD
• Growing through life changes and transitions - grief and loss, life transitions, career challenges and changes, finding hope and meaning, spirituality and faith
• Health and wellness - emotion regulation, stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, body image issues, self esteem, trauma and abuse recovery, drug and alcohol abuse and addiction recovery, post-traumatic stress disorder
