About Me
Meet the heart behind
Rise & Shine
Hi, I'm Kendall Pruden. I grew up in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, and now call Saskatoon home. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Counselling and feel deeply grateful to walk alongside individuals and couples as they journey through healing, growth, and transformation.
Faith is an important part of my life. I'm a God-loving woman, and I truly believe He is the reason I'm in this career today. While my faith guides who I am, my door is open to all people — whether you share my beliefs or not. I strive to create a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space where everyone feels welcome and supported.
My Approach
How I Work With You
Through Rise & Shine Counselling, I work with youth, adults, and couples navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, addiction, eating disorders, relationship issues, grief, and life transitions.
I offer both in-person sessions in Saskatoon and online sessions via Zoom for those who prefer or need that flexibility.
When it comes to booking sessions — I'm a bit old-school. I like to keep things personal! You can reach me directly by phone, text, or email to book or ask questions. I believe the therapeutic relationship begins before you even step into my office.
Therapeutic Methods
Two Approaches. One Goal.
I primarily use two evidence-based approaches, always tailored to meet you where you are.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT helps you identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that may be holding you back. It's a structured, goal-oriented approach that gives you practical tools to manage challenges in everyday life.
- Identify negative thought patterns
- Develop practical coping strategies
- Change unhelpful behaviors
- Manage anxiety & depression
Emotionally Focused Therapy
EFT helps you explore your emotions more deeply and improve your emotional connection with yourself and others. It's particularly effective for couples and those working through relational wounds.
- Deepen emotional self-awareness
- Heal attachment wounds
- Strengthen couple bonds
- Process grief and trauma
