Hi, I’m Kendra Pinamonti, founder and CEO of Sunshine Inside Therapy – a safe space created for you. I will guide you through your personal journey, the highs and the lows, with humor, connection and real tools and strategies to reach your goals.

I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps people find clarity, self-regulation, and calm within themselves. I blend Internal Family Systems (IFS) with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and offer EMDR to support lasting healing. I work with a focus on what you are feeling and experiencing in your body somatically. You will gain deeper self-awareness of your patterns, and thinking style to confidently begin to reframe your view of your life. I teach you how to both understand and regulate your nervous system as well as increase your knowledge of your body using somatic therapy. I will help you process and integrate your life experiences, trauma and free you of long standing anxiety, depression, insecurities, and fragmented parts of yourself.

Whether it is focused on marriage/relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, work-place stress, unresolved childhood wounds, or big and small traumas. I specialize in being able to conceptualize complex patterns, understand lifelong struggles and turn it into a relatable picture that can be understood, processed and let go which in turn will set you free.

I create a healing space that is both evidence-based, relatable and guided by intuition.

My passion for this work is deeply personal. Years ago, I navigated my own difficult divorce while raising three young daughters as a single Mom. Later, I remarried, blending our family with three more children-and walked through the complexities of raising six children together.

Outside the therapy room, I’m walking my giant rescue dog, Beau, visiting my daughter at college, laughing over dinner with friends, enjoying celebrations with all my kids, traveling to sunny places with my family, and getting pulled into a Netflix documentary. I value connection, laughter in the kitchen and letting your intuition be your guide.
