Naynette Kennett, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Naynette!

I am a certified Perinatal Mental Health clinician who sees clients virtually to explore and learn to thrive during difficult times in life. Let's talk!

My focus

I work with individuals or couples who feel alone, frustrated about their lives or relationships, and disconnected from loved ones. My clients often worry excessively and struggle to cope with daily challenges, feel overwhelmed and stuck, and may have experienced trauma without knowing how to move forward.

My approach

My approach is trauma-informed and attachment-focused to help you understand your thoughts, feelings, and actions to change behaviors no longer working for you. I utilize EFT & Gottman Methods, ERP, CBT & TF-CBT, attachment-based, and strength-based approaches to help clients manage conflict, improve communication, and rebuild connections.

My communication style

I offer services virtually to accompany you on your journey to healing, changing, and becoming your authentic self. I am passionate and committed to helping my clients on their journey to healing, change, and growth, and learning to thrive during difficult times in life!

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I believe everyone deserves support during life's challenges. My own experiences have taught me the value of compassionate guidance, and I'm committed to creating a space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes in your life.

My goals for you

We'll work together to identify what matters most to you and create a plan that fits your needs. I'll help you build practical skills and insights you can use in daily life. Progress happens at your pace, and I'll be there to support you as you move toward the changes you want to see.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll talk about what brings you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. I'll ask questions to understand your story and current challenges. This is also your chance to ask me anything and see if we're a good fit. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard and hopeful about the work ahead.
