MEET KYNDRA

KYND's CEO and Founder, Kyndra Frazier, was recently recognized by the Root 100 as one of the Most Influential African-Americans in 2020 for breaking down barriers and paving the way for future generations. She is a licensed clinician and ordained clergywoman. Kyndra is also the Founding Executive Director of HOPE Center Harlem, where she worked to remove barriers to mental health access for communities of color. During her leadership the HOPE Center was awarded the 2020 American Psychiatric Association Minority Mental Health Award for their innovative and supportive efforts to improve the quality of care for minority populations. Prior to her leadership at the HOPE Center Kyndra served as the Lead Therapist for the Imara Center, working with African-American adolescents ages 7-18, with a variety of mental health vulnerabilities.

In 2010 Kyndra encountered an African-American 23yr old male who attempted to castrate himself due to struggling to integrate his spirituality and sexuality, while working as the Inpatient Psychiatric Chaplain at a Level 1 trauma center. This experience catapulted her into dedicating her life to working with LGBTQ+ and African-Americans who navigate the hardship of spiritual abuse. 

Kyndra now brings her wealth of experience, knowledge, and skill-set to KYND Consulting, Inc., as it is poised to be the premier consulting agency to specialize in supporting populations across faiths who have been impacted by spiritual abuse and religious trauma.

Known for her work in removing barriers to mental health access for communities of color, Rev. Frazier has been featured in multiple print and digital publications including Vice Magazine, New York Times, and Sojourners Magazine. Rev. Frazier holds a Master of Divinity from Candler School of Theology|Emory University, a Master of Social Work from Columbia University, and a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from North Carolina A&T State University.
