Nicole Kennedy

Welcome. I'm so glad you're here. If you're seeking therapy, you're likely looking for some sort of change, which requires hope. I believe hope is gritty and requires courage. I believe the magic is found right in that liminal space where we start to open the door to new possibilities. I currently serve adult women-identifying and non-binary clients in my private practice who desire to work through grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relational conflict. I obtained my BA from Eastern Washington University and my Masters of Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School. My background includes working with clients of all ages including children and families.

Informed by relational psychodynamic theory and attachment science, my therapeutic orientation is relationship centered. My treatment approach takes into consideration factors such as your own unique personal concerns, your early life experiences and the nature of your relationships including that of the therapeutic relationship. My hope is not that therapy would change you but that it would widen your capacity to be with and hold your own story with tenderness and kindness.

In our first session you'll have a chance to share your hopes and what you're looking for in therapy. Together we can create some goals - like a road map for how we'll get there. My hope is that therapy can be a place where you feel comfortable to share your full self without judgement and explore your own internal processes.
