Erin Kennedy
Associate Professional Clinical Counselor -
Congratulations on taking this important step to care for your mental health. Sometimes, being human can feel overwhelming and confusing, and you shouldn’t have to navigate it alone. As a therapist and neuroscience enthusiast, the foundation of my work is an understanding of how our experiences shape our brain, including our ability to cope with difficult emotions & our ability to connect with others. I have a passion for helping adults & adolescents process unresolved trauma, which is often at the core of many struggles. I also work with clients who are having difficulty managing anxiety, burnout, relationships, parenting, & more.
Throughout my clinical work, I utilize a non-pathologizing approach: our goal in therapy is not to figure out what’s “wrong” with you, but to understand your life experiences and how they influence who you are today. Our work will help you learn to live from a place of authenticity through cultivating your self-curiosity, self-compassion, and, eventually, self-acceptance.
Another crucial component of the therapy process is OUR relationship, which is the container for emotional healing. I strive to meet every client where they currently are, and always aim to show up authentically myself—even though we’re doing deep and important work, it’s important to not take ourselves too seriously, and we may even laugh along the way! I’m here for you when you’re ready.
