meet kendra

Hi, I'm Kendra Riley! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Registered Nurse who combines my knowledge base and passion for healing to help clients heal from emotional trauma, difficulty sleeping, grief, and anxiety. I am also highly trained in boundaries and co-dependency.
I spent 16 years in various nursing fields before surviving a near-catastrophic stroke, which ended my ability to provide patient care. I took this opportunity to start a new career in healing that my physical limitations would allow. Now, instead of helping people heal physical wounds, I help heal emotional wounds.
I have maintained my nursing license, and use this in my sleep wellness coaching. Between nursing and licensed counseling, I have over 22 years of combined professional experience! I am the sole proprietor of my private practice, nestled in the Gold Country of California.
Although I am a counselor with a strong Christian faith, I am not a “Christian counselor”. I welcome clients of any belief system, and am able to include faith into my interventions when it is preferred by my clients. And/or, I can offer scientific-based therapy modalities.
