About Me

A space to be seen, supported, and strengthened.

I’m Kendra Grant, LPCC, NCC—a Black, queer, nonbinary therapist passionate about helping people rise beyond limitation and reconnect with their purpose, power, and peace. I created Ascendance Mental Health & Wellness as a space where your story is honored, your values guide the work, and your whole self is welcomed.

My approach is warm, direct, and rooted in the belief that therapy works best when it’s collaborative and real. I specialize in working with high-functioning adults, LGBTQIA+ individuals, athletes and performers, and anyone who’s tired of feeling like they have to hold it all together alone.

Together, we’ll uncover what’s keeping you stuck, build mental flexibility and resilience, and help you create a life that actually feels like yours.

Whether you’re working through anxiety, burnout, or identity questions—or just want space to grow—my goal is to help you strengthen the relationship you have with yourself, so you can move through life with greater ease, authenticity, and purpose.

I integrate a range of evidence-based and holistic approaches, including:

• Humanistic approaches (i.e., person-centered, narrative, existential)
• Liberation Psychology
• Strengths-Based approach
• Mindfulness-Based Therapies
• Solution-Focused Therapy
• Culturally adapted Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CA-CBT)
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

No two clients are the same—so I tailor each session to your unique values, goals, and lived experience.
