Counselor

Kendra Gutierrez, LPC-Associate

Supervised by Nancelina Piernik, LPC-S

I work with women, with a special focus on supporting the perinatal population, including pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood. I am especially passionate about working with mothers, a passion that grew after becoming a mom myself. Having my own son deepened my understanding of the emotional and mental challenges that often come with motherhood, and I bring that perspective into my work with clients.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), helping clients develop skills to manage emotions, cope with stress, and strengthen relationships. Whether I’m working with moms navigating motherhood or women facing life transitions, my goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and empowered.
