Meet The Sabino Team

I grew up in Southwest New Mexico on a cattle ranch just outside Silver City. I spent my youth working on the ranch and competing in the Rodeo. I was a State High School champion team roper and went to college at Central Arizona College in Casa Grande Az on a full ride rodeo scholarship and qualified for the National College Rodeo Finals 2 consecutive years in 3 events. I also worked extensively as an electrical lineman throughout NM for around 15 years prior to getting sober in 2014, wherein I did an about face and decided to return to school and pursue a career in counseling.

I feel that to the untrained eye, addiction can look like a lack of willpower or weakness, and I want to help the client understand the problem as well as the solution and help them develop an escape plan long before the world closes in on them. I also believe that addiction is typically not the primary problem, but usually an attempt to solve a problem, so understanding the underlying issues that are typically rooted in trauma provides for a more complete recovery with less likelihood of relapse. I offer unique insight due to my experience and proven track record of helping literally thousands of individuals over a 9-year period, begin their journey of recovery. I offer time-tested, effective methods and I think having a solid rapport with the client is imperative. Former clients have indicated that I’m a great therapist, “but not too therapisty!”

I know on a personal level the misery of addiction and historically I was reluctant to speak with therapists because I felt they could not possibly understand what I was going through. I finally crossed paths with some therapists that were actually in recovery and spoke openly about it I can honestly say they probably saved my life!

Originally from Louisville, Kentucky, Kendall completed her Bachelor of Science in Education at the University of Louisville in 2016. Quickly realizing her passions were outside of the traditional classroom setting, she went on to work at a youth residential home with foster children and then case management at a substance use disorder treatment facility. From there, she completed her Master of Science in Social Work at the University of Louisville, which then allowed Kendall to practice therapy in an acute residential hospital setting, individual and group therapy settings, intensive outpatient settings, as well as provide statewide implementation support to substance use treatment facilities across Kentucky. Kendall moved to Arizona in 2022 to pursue independent licensure.

Kendall embraces the holistic nature of healing, understanding that trauma manifests in one’s mind, body, emotion, energy, and spirit. Each person’s healing is as unique as their journey, so she uses a person-centered, holistic, and integrative approach to walk with clients through their journey of self-discovery and growth using a combination of evidence based therapeutic modalities to treat trauma including: Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP) found in Polyvagal Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and a Structural Dissociation Theory framework. Kendall works with a wide variety of clients experiencing symptoms of trauma, dissociation, grief, loss, death, substance use, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and identity challenges. Kendall embodies the belief that every person is capable and worthy of reaching their optimal growth and healing.
