Alexandra Kennedy - Counseling & Therapy MA MFT

I have been a psychotherapist for over 35 years. During that time I have helped clients with a wide range of issues. I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client's individual needs; my clients and I work together to address their goals and concerns, whether current life challenges or long standing issues.

I specialize in working with grief. Over a lifetime we will experience many losses-not just the loss of loved ones but the loss of a marriage, health, a job, our dreams, or a child when he or she goes off to college. Each one of us will be called on at different times to face loss-but will we embrace it or shrink from it? Most of us shrink from loss, thinking that if we just keep busy we can close our hearts a little to protect ourselves from loss. However, it is ungrieved loss that takes a toll on our hearts and deadens us to life. We pay a price in terms of our vitality, happiness and health. I offer unique and effective strategies for grieving fully without feeling overwhelmed-this includes experiential exercises for exploring the ongoing inner relationship with a deceased loved one.
