Her varied clinical training allowed her to work with adolescents and adults at Texas Youth Commission, the Baylor Counseling Center, Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center Inpatient Rehabilitation (now Scott & White Center for Rehabilitative Medicine at Hillcrest), and the VA North Texas Health Care System. In therapeutic treatment of psychological symptoms, Dr. Kendrick seeks to treat each individual from a holistic perspective that considers biological, psychological, and social / environmental factors that influence well-being.
