A quieter place tounderstand yourself.
I’m Laurie Kennedy — a licensed clinical social worker with twenty-five years of practice. I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, grief, and the quieter, harder questions about relationships and self.
This is a journey we take together.
Psychotherapy is a place to slow down — and look closer.
Many people arrive carrying something that has been hard to name — a low hum of anxiety, a weight that does not lift, a relationship that keeps repeating the same argument. Psychotherapy offers a steady, confidential place to set that down.
Together, we look at the patterns underneath symptoms — the older stories, the protective habits, the parts of yourself that have had to be strong for a long time. From there, we work on more effective ways to cope, to relate, and to live.

Advanced training across CBT, EMDR, and depth-oriented work — chosen to fit what brings you here.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Identifying and reshaping the thought patterns that keep you stuck in familiar distress.
EMDR Trauma Therapy
Reprocessing difficult memories so their hold on the present begins to soften.
Object Relations Therapy
Exploring the early relational patterns that quietly shape how you attach today.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
Practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and steadier relationships.
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
A slower, depth-oriented look at the unconscious themes running beneath the surface.
Adults carrying the weight of a life lived carefully.
Depression & low mood
A persistent heaviness that does not lift with rest. We work on what it is protecting, and what it is asking for.
Anxiety & overthinking
A mind that will not quiet. Together we slow the cycle and rebuild a sense of inner ground.
Grief & loss
Bereavement, life transitions, the quieter losses that are rarely named. A place to feel without rushing to fix.
Relationships & patterns
Difficulty with closeness, the sense of standing outside your own life, or the familiar patterns that keep surfacing.
If any of this resonates, the next step is a single phone call.
A brief, no-pressure conversation to see whether we might work well together.
