Briana Kennedy

My communication style

My first goal in any therapeutic process is to make sure my client feels safe. Building rapport by using empathy, validation, and curious questioning is key in the work I do. I am collaborative and invite feedback, ensuring the client feels that therapy is a team effort and not a lecture.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started my journey to becoming a Marriage and Family Therapist because I decided I wanted to turn my pain into purpose. I want to use my experience, knowledge, education, and empathy to help others going through tough times. My therapist had a significant impact on me, and I want to pass it forward.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is collaborative. How can we work together to help you achieve the changes you want to see in life? Through curious, non-judgmental questioning and objective insight, I work towards helping my clients understand what it is that is blocking them from reaching their goals.

Our first session

The first session is an opportunity for us to make sure we feel like we’re a good fit. I provide information about how I approach therapy and what the therapeutic process looks like when working with me. Clients are given space to share what’s going on for them, what brings them into therapy, and to ask any questions.
