I'm Kendra Nielson, a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in couples and family therapy, EMDR, and the Gottman Method. I founded Fulfillment Therapy to bring practical, evidence-informed mental health tools beyond the therapy room and into everyday family life—through clinical practice, psychoeducational programs, and a top-ranked podcast reaching families across the country.
My clinical work is grounded in positive psychology and human flourishing, with a focus on helping individuals and couples move beyond simply surviving and toward healthier, more fulfilling lives.
I have advanced training in EMDR, Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Levels 1 & 2), and Clinical Supervision, and I am currently completing the final steps toward LCPC licensure, which I expect to obtain in October. I'm also pursuing doctoral study, with a research interest in human flourishing.
Alongside my private practice at Valley Summit Counseling, I've spent the past several years building Fulfillment Therapy into a public education platform that includes more than 350 podcast episodes, original psychoeducational programs, and free educational resources for parents and couples navigating everyday relational challenges.
