Lisa Kennedy

My communication style

I would like to think that I'm warm, inviting, honest, ethical, non-judgmental, and empowering in how I work with people.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a social worker at a time in my life when I wanted to make a difference in my children's lives. When I started back to school, I realized that I had always been a social worker, being concerned about social justice and change, but also concerned about how each person fits in their world, empowering them to live a life well-lived.

My goals for you

When it comes to goal setting, I always want my clients to feel empowered to be able to decide what their goals are in treatment, but goal setting is also a commitment between the client and the therapist so that appropriate goals can be reached through trust and positive changes.

Our first session

During our first session, it can always be a little scary for the client the first time meeting someone new. I try to be engaging and supportive, especially in the first session, to try to put the client at ease.
