Great to meet you!

I am Dr. Meghan Kennedy, a licensed clinical psychologist with a doctorate in clinical psychology and training in a VA medical center and multiple medical settings. I specialize in helping clients manage chronic pain conditions like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, fibromyalgia, CRPS, migraines, IBS, and chronic back or neck pain. With over 10 years of experience, I work with teens through older adults using ACT, CBT, and LENS Neurofeedback to calm the nervous system and support healing. My approach is compassionate, neuroscience-informed, and tailored to each person’s unique experience. I also have experience working with individuals living with chronic illness, sleep issues, weight management, and trauma.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and neuroscience. I specialize in working with individuals living with chronic pain and complex medical conditions, using evidence-based modalities like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and LENS Neurofeedback. These tools help calm the nervous system, reduce suffering, and support meaningful change. I also integrate trauma-informed care to ensure clients feel safe, understood, and empowered throughout the process. Together, we’ll explore how your thoughts, emotions, and body are connected—and how small shifts can lead to lasting relief and resilience.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll take time to understand your unique experience with pain and how it’s impacting your life. You’ll have space to share what feels important, and I’ll ask questions about your symptoms, history, and goals—always at your pace. We’ll begin exploring how approaches like ACT, CBT, and LENS Neurofeedback may support your healing. Together, we’ll develop a treatment plan that fits your needs, preferences, and values, so you feel supported and empowered every step of the way.
