Individual Therapy: Uncovering the Root Cause

Dr. Kennard specializes in individual therapy with adults and older adolescents.

• Identify and process unresolved trauma
• Develop effective coping mechanisms
• Build stronger relationships
• Embrace their authentic selves

The Power of the Therapeutic Relationship

Dr. Kennard believes in the transformative power of the therapeutic relationship. She fosters a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their inner selves, share their vulnerabilities, and feel heard and understood. This collaborative exploration empowers clients to:

• Gain awareness of their thoughts, behaviors, and motivations
• Break free from limiting beliefs and negative patterns
• Develop a deeper connection to themselves and others
• Achieve lasting change and personal growth

Reclaiming Vitality and Meaning

Psychoanalytic therapy is not about fixing or curing mental illness. It aims to help clients achieve greater self-understanding, purpose, and fulfillment in all aspects of life. By uncovering the driving forces behind their actions, clients can:

• Experience increased clarity and direction
• Cultivate stronger relationships
• Live with greater purpose and vitality
• Embrace a more fulfilling life experience
