Andres Reinhard

When I'm not working, you'll usually find me embracing my sense of adventure in the great outdoors. Whether I'm hiking, biking, skiing, or rollerblading, staying active keeps me grounded, energized, and connected to the world around me. My passion for exploration extends to travel as well—I recently returned from an unforgettable trip to Turkey! I love discovering new places and perspectives, and I bring that same curiosity and energy into the work we do together.

Kendra Barnes

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, exploring the outdoors, and finding opportunities to recharge in nature. Whether I'm hiking, traveling, trying a new local eatery, or curling up with a good book, I appreciate the small moments that help me stay grounded and connected. Through these experiences I remind myself of the importance of balance, self-care, and making space for learning and growth in my life - values I encourage my clients to consider for their own lives as well.

At this stage in my life I find a lot of joy in being full time Papa to some amazing grandchildren. I enjoy camping, hiking, and geocaching. I usually have two or three books going at a time, some history, some religious, and some fun. I have lived within sight of at least one snow capped mountain my entire life, and really cannot imagine ever leaving the Northwest.

I enjoy spending time with my adult children whether we are eating out, shopping, or going to a local car auction, time with them is priceless! In the winter you may find me crocheting, adding to or playing with my glass bead collection. I like making sun catchers and other jewelry type gifts. In the summer I am likely participating in all things water. Whether I am at the lake, out boating, water skiing, or parasailing I am sure to be outside basking in what I call "yellow days."

Research shows that the therapeutic alliance between you and your therapist is the best predictor of successful treatment outcome. Psychologists define the therapeutic alliance as the strength of the therapist and client relationship and how aligned you are on goals. Once you have developed a strong therapeutic alliance with your therapist, studies show that individuals are more productive at work, have more fulfilled relationships, can cope more effectively with daily stressors, and engage in less risky behaviors.

Unfortunately, clients can not book with a specific matching therapist at this time. All of our matching therapists are licensed clinicians trained extensively in matching people to the therapist who’s right for them.
