Whether you struggle with interpersonal conflicts, have issues with self esteem, or social anxiety, my goal is to create a peaceful place for a nurturing, supportive bond between therapist & client. My aim is not to change who or what you are, but rather explore how you respond and relate to your external world to create a perception that better serves you in your daily life. My approach to therapy focuses on relationships by creating a safe & supportive environment for exploration and growth, where clients can feel understood and validated.

Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? My goal as your therapist is to provide a safe space, free from judgment to explore your life story.

Through utilizing CBT, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Somatic Practices and Mindfulness we are able to get to core stressors and find practical measures to alleviate them.

Time is of the essence. Let's face it, men are often reluctant to enter therapy as they find it stigmatizing or a sign of being weak or even skeptical of it's effectiveness. Men often take a problem-solving, solution-focused approach to life and that is not always congruent with most therapy models where the focus is on discussing feelings, exploring the past or "processing" experiences. As a cognitive behavioral therapist with an emphasis on solution focused & positive, strengths based interventions, I use a more active, action oriented & short term approach that works well for men and includes a more stoic philosophy.

In a world inundated with superficial ideals and societal pressures, life often presents us with challenges that can obscure our path to self-discovery and fulfillment. My clients often find themselves toiling with conflicts around relationships, as well as a lack of personal identity that leaves them feeling anxious, depressive, or purposeless; they find themselves stuck, stagnant, and unsure of how to pluck themselves out of despair. By delving into the messiness of the human condition and cultivating the desire to understand yourself, you can begin to create space between the things that rule you.

I use empathy and understanding to foster a collaborative practice. I specialize in life transitions, addiction, and neurodivergent needs.

I've helped numerous clients manage stress, process trauma and cope with difficult situations.I teach practical strategies and prove a safe space for emotional expression, which empowers clients to develop a healthier relationship with their emotions.

Working as a therapist has allowed me to offer a holistic approach to mental well-being, tailoring my approach to each client’s unique concerns. While I focus on overall personal growth, I have a particular interest in relationship issues, anxiety, dating, self-esteem, sexuality, life and career transitions. It involves digging deeper into events, emotions, and beliefs, and reframing your negative perceptions in order to reclaim control of your future. I take a client-centered and evidence based approach to empower you to navigate life challenges.

I am passionate about making mental health care more accessible, especially for those who have experienced complex trauma throughout their life.

I aim to meet you where you're at in your healing process whether that is page 1 or page 1000.

As a therapist with a disability, I have a deep appreciation for life's challenges, pain, loss and suffering. I have learned the art of "transforming obstacles into opportunities," with the help of my guide dog Faith, as she literally guides me around obstacles, and has enhanced my life, turning around an otherwise insurmountable feat. Decades of clinical and life experience, keen intuition, along with compassion and a holistic, evidenced-based approach, and a sense of humor, are some of the key ingredients leading my clients towards feeling better, finding direction and actualizing potential.

Therapy with me is catered to you and the problems you bring to our sessions. I understand that you are the expert on your life and my role as your therapist is to aide you in finding the solutions that are not only practical, but address the issues that you believe are most important to you. Our first steps will be defining your goals for therapy and mapping out the steps you need to take to reach them, dealing with any bumps we might encounter along the way.

We all need spaces in our lives to be seen and heard. There are times, however, when it can be hard to find those spaces of acceptance, non-judgment, and problem solving. I will work with you to explore and find solutions to the challenges that come with navigating the realities of our complicated lives. My approach in therapy focuses on each person's unique stories, strengths, and resilience, from a space of empathy, and concrete tools to move forward. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process that balances spaces of acceptance with change, which is based in cognitive & dialectical behavioral therapy (CBT) and (DBT).

Gail Holler-Kennedy, LMHC. I believe the therapeutic relationship and comfort is of utmost importance. I have an easygoing personality and incorporate humor when appropriate.

As a therapist, my goal is to create a warm, safe, non-judgmental space for my clients’ self-discovery and healing. I support my clients as they build on their intrinsic skills and strengths so that they can navigate through difficult periods and life transitions in ways that foster growth and well-being. I believe that the strongest therapeutic relationships are built from trust, respect, transparency, empathy and equality. I counsel from a place of kindness, understanding and compassion through an anti-racist and anti-oppressive lens.

Why? This is such a simple question, but perhaps one of the most difficult to answer. If we knew why – why we say the things we say, why we think the things we think, why we do the things we do – we would have more gratifying and less distressing lives. Self-awareness is the greatest gift we can give to ourselves, in order for us to reach our full potential. With your willingness and motivation, understanding your "why" is what we will work towards together in therapy.
