FREDERICK, MD – JULY 7, 2026
Kindred Tree Healing Center, an award-winning holistic mental health practice serving Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Founded in 2016 by Vanessa Durrant, an expert in attachment, developmental psychology, holistic and trauma-based therapies, the company has grown from a single practitioner to a team of specialized therapists helping children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in three, regional, brick and mortar offices and offering statewide telehealth services.
The name Kindred Tree came from Durrant’s personal story of growth and resilience. Vanessa and her family emigrated to the United States due to the devastating effects of the civil war in El Salvador, and eventually rebuilt their lives in Alexandria, Virginia. Those early childhood experiences shaped her lifelong commitment to understanding trauma and the healing power of safe, authentic relationships surrounded by community.
“I learned early on that people do not heal in isolation,” said Durrant. “Kindred Tree was always meant to be more than a single practitioner – it was meant to be a community. Our team continually shows up for one another, so we can fully support the individuals and families we serve.”
Kindred Tree’s intentional growth reflects the need for excellent mental health practices. Following its 2016 Frederick, Maryland launch, the center opened a second location in her hometown of Alexandria, Virginia, in 2022, and has since expanded to Leesburg, Virginia. Today, the practice treats psychological challenges like trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions with evidence-based therapies such as EMDR, Brainspotting, Neurofeedback, Play Therapy, and Expressive Arts, as well as offering ancient somatic modalities like Yoga, Reiki, and Ayurveda.
As the practice enters its second decade, Durrant plans to unveil several exciting new projects that will further expand Kindred Tree’s community and holistic offerings in the coming months.
“We want every person who walks through our doors to feel valued, understood and supported,” Durrant said. “Healing is about more than reducing symptoms, it’s about helping people reconnect with themselves, their relationships and their lives.”
