Meet Kendhal
I teach clinicians how to work with trauma in ways that are structured, ethical, and deeply human.
My work centers on integrating EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS), with a strong emphasis on pacing, clinical judgment, and accessibility across learning styles.
I primarily work with therapists, trainers, and organizations, helping people not just learn models, but learn how to think clinically, teach effectively, and stay in relationship with themselves and their clients.
I lead both virtual and in-person trainings internationally, including recurring live offerings of my Integrated EMDR and IFS Model in the United Kingdom.
I’m also the author of Treating Trauma with EMDR and IFS: A Clinician’s Guide to Integrating Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy with Internal Family Systems, the first full-length book to outline a comprehensive integration of IFS across all eight phases of EMDR.
Explore My Work
Some people come here knowing exactly what they’re looking for.
Others arrive with ideas, expertise, or questions they’ve never been taught how to turn into something they can share.
Choose the path that fits where you are right now.
For Clinicians
Trainings, consultation groups, retreats, and therapy intensives for clinicians integrating EMDR and Internal Family Systems in real-world practice.
Whether you’re early in integration or navigating complex cases, these offerings are designed to support clinical clarity, confidence, and depth over time.
For Educators & Trainers
Course architecture, trainer development, and consultation for clinicians who want to teach, supervise, or build something meaningful — even if you’ve never thought of yourself as an “educator.”
You don’t need a finished plan to start. Clarity comes through the process.
For Clients
Short-term intensive therapy and psychedelic preparation and integration, with a specialization in working with therapists and other clinicians.
This work is time-limited and intentional, supporting insight, integration, and deeper understanding of your internal system.
Why People Work With Me
Most people don’t find me because they’re looking for “another training.”
They come because something isn’t landing.
EMDR feels too procedural or rigid for their clients
IFS feels conceptually rich but challenging to apply in complex cases
Trainings feel overwhelming, inaccessible, or disconnected from real clinical decision-making
They know what to do, but not when, why, or how to adapt
My work lives in that space — helping clinicians slow down, clarify, and integrate.
What Makes My Teaching Different
I teach explicitly and process-forward.
That means:
Clear decision points, not vague concepts
Structure without rigidity
Respect for protectors, neurodivergence, and nervous systems
Translating complex material into a language clinicians can actually use
As an autistic and ADHD clinician (AuDHD), I bring my own lived experience of learning, processing, and integrating complex material into how I teach and design training.
The result is learning environments that support a wide range of processing styles without sacrificing rigor, something neurotypical clinicians consistently report improves clarity, confidence, and clinical decision-making.
Featured Conversation
I was recently a guest on The One Inside with Tammy Sollenberger, a widely listened-to podcast within the Internal Family Systems community.
In this conversation, I discuss trauma treatment, Self-energy, and how my experience as a clinician with Autism and ADHD informs how I approach therapy, teaching, and learning design — with particular attention to pacing, clarity, and nervous system fit.

In Print
I’m the author of Treating Trauma with EMDR and IFS, a clinician-focused guide to integrating Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with Internal Family Systems (IFS).
The book reflects the same approach that shapes my clinical and teaching work: clear structure, practical application, and respect for the complexity of trauma and internal systems, without overcomplicating the work.
Real Good Therapy Podcast (Coming Soon)
Real Good Therapy is a new podcast I host with my close friends and long-time collaborators, Kristie Boggs and Alyce Messer. Together, we have honest conversations that center the lived realities of being a therapist, not just the models we use.
We talk about EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychedelics and psychedelic journeys, clinical decision-making, and what it actually means to do good work in the therapy room.
Some episodes feature guest clinicians and teachers. Others are candid conversations among the three of us as we think aloud about the work, our journeys, and what it means to practice therapy with integrity, humility, and care.
This isn’t about doing therapy perfectly. It’s about doing real good therapy.
More information coming soon!
