Kendyl Hovis

Hey there! I’m Kendyl Hovis, a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S) practicing in Arkansas, and additionally licensed as an LPC in both Colorado and Missouri and an LCPC in Kansas. I’m so glad you’re here! With over 10 years of experience in mental health, I’ve had the joy, or should we say kos, of helping people navigate life’s challenges and discover their most authentic selves. I thrive most working with life’s ebbs, flows, and transitions, LGBTQIA+ issues and gender exploration, and PTSD/trauma recovery—including religious trauma and deconstruction. As a GALAP Pledge signer, I’m proud to support the LGBTQIA+ community as an ally, with single-session assessments for letters of support. I am also a WPATH member. I’m trauma informed and EMDR trained, equipped to assist clients with working through difficult and distressing experiences they may feel stuck on, and moving forward towards a calmer and peaceful self. I also have experience with managing anxiety, depression, self esteem, ADHD (fellow ADHD-er!) and relationship issues. Genuine connection is at the heart of everything I do. My approach to therapy is warm, laid-back, and real—I believe in creating a safe, welcoming space where you can show up as your true self. Whether we’re laughing together or digging into the tough stuff, my goal is to walk alongside you as you grow, heal, and step into the life you truly want—embracing your own kos. When I am not providing therapy, I have a passion for working with LACs as they pursue their terminal licenses. As a supervisor, I’m here to cheer you on, provide the support you need, and give you space to grow and shine as a helping professional. Much like with my clients, I offer a safe, judgment-free space to grow your clinical skills, learn what they didn’t teach you in school, and discuss the difficult parts of being a counselor. My aim is to help you as much as I can on your way to your professional goals and find your kos in the therapy room along the way. Whether you’re looking for therapy or supervision, I’d be honored to join you in finding and creating kos together! I look forward to connecting to create a space where you can feel seen, heard, and empowered to embrace your truest self!
