Kendrick helped me get through a very dark time in my life. I was going through the early stages of a Separation and Divorce when I realized I needed help. The sessions he created based around Cognitive Processing Therapy helped me to hold onto the good parts of myself as I was working through this difficult time and gave me tools change the way I view myself and the way I was moving through life. As Black man that was dealing with the stigma that "only crazy or mentally weak people need therapy", I am forever grateful that I was paired up with Kendrick.

- LCSW
Events don't cause what you feel, how you talk to you about these events does! Seeking help is difficult enough, and it's my job to make the process easier by offering the people I serve a warm, empathic, and safe place to address their challenges. If you are struggling with a particular issue or simply looking for a safe place to express yourself, I'm excited to begin the process with you.
I am Kendrick Burden, and I'm a licensed clinical social worker and trauma counselor specializing in the field of mental wellness. I have 13 years of experience as a general practitioner in a community-based outpatient mental health clinic providing individual, family, couples, and group therapy. My areas of expertise include depression, self-esteem, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and health issues, domestic violence, and adjusting to many of the challenges life throws our way. I utilize a client-centered approach (meaning that YOU are the expert on you) that will allow you to identify your own strengths and resources, as well as cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based therapeutic approaches.
The best year of your life is when you take ownership of every problem and challenge in your life. Ownership is saying, here's what I have, what do I do with it, and how do I go forward. I'm here to help you take OWNERSHIP of your life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Great Guy, Awesome therapist! Helped me in a dark part of my life
Kendrick has truly been an important part of my healing and growth and I’m glad I found him on BetterHelp
Listens and responds with well educated feedback.
Kendrick and I have only been working together for a short period of time but he has helped me so much already and I am very excited to be continuing sessions with him.
Does a great job understanding what his client is going through.
Kendrick makes me feel so comfortable. Honestly this is the best experience I've ever had with therapy and i know i need a lot of help this time. Kendrick makes me feel like I'm not a complete crazy person and helps me identify traumas and approach them in a way that seems....less scary than trying to do on my own. He's been so above and beyond with everything he does. This man really cares which seems to be a rarity in this field lately. Awesome awesome therapist. Highly recommend.
Being a therapist, it is hard to get to the point of being a client. Kendrick has made me feel so comfortable sharing my story
I’ve just started therapy after years of not having help. Kendrick has been great so far at helping me uncover past trauma and moving forward with a plan to help cope with it. Highly recommend
