relational | trauma-informed | humanMaybe the problem
isn’t that you haven’t
tried hard enough.
Relational psychotherapy for adults navigating body image, food, perfectionism, self-worth, trauma, identity, and relationships.
Maybe you’re here because…
BODY IMAGE + FOOD
Your relationship with food or your body takes up more space than you want it to. Maybe there are rules, guilt, comparison, or the persistent belief that if your body were different, you’d finally feel more comfortable being yourself.
I’m less interested in giving you another set of rules and more interested in understanding the relationship you’ve built with food and your body and what role it may be playing for you.
PERFECTIONISM + SELF-WORTH
You can accomplish a lot and still rarely feel like it’s enough. The goalpost moves, mistakes feel bigger than they should, and being hard on yourself can start to feel like the only thing keeping you motivated.
We can look at where those standards came from—and what might happen if your worth didn’t have to be earned over and over again.
TRAUMA + OLD PATTERNS
You may understand that what happened is in the past, but your body, relationships, or reactions don’t always seem to know that yet.
Together, we can make sense of the ways you learned to protect yourself and create more choice in how you respond now. Our work may include EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, IFS, and other approaches depending on what fits you.
IDENTITY + RELATIONSHIPS
Maybe you’ve gotten very good at reading the room, keeping the peace, being dependable, or becoming whoever the moment asks you to be.
Therapy can give you room to ask harder questions: What do I want? What feels true to me? What happens when my needs matter too?
Kenda Price, LCSWHi! I’m Kenda.
Early in my career, I worked in eating disorder treatment, where I became especially passionate about making therapy more inclusive for people whose struggles don’t fit neatly into a stereotype.
That experience still shapes how I work today. I’m interested in the whole context of a person’s life… their history, relationships, identity, body, and the larger systems that have shaped what they learned to believe about themselves.
I don’t believe our struggles exist in a vacuum; the families, cultures, relationships, and systems we live within shape how we learn to see ourselves.
Therapy with me is human.
I believe the relationship we build is part of the work. I’m warm, direct, curious, and very much myself in the room with you.
We’ll talk about the hard stuff. We’ll probably laugh, too. I’ll notice patterns, ask questions, call things out when I see them, and make space for what doesn’t need fixing right away.
Our work might include EMDR, somatic techniques, parts work, Body Trust Principles, or other approaches that fit you. The interventions matter, but they’re never more important than the person sitting in front of me.
You don’t have to have it
all figured out to get started.
If something here feels familiar, we can start there.
