Alexandra Kennedy

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.
