• "Dr Kennedy and I worked together while dealing with residual anxiety and depression symptoms to manage those with non-medical interventions as well as a medical regime at one point.

At all points in my care I felt heard and my treatment well-managed."

• "I had the privilege of working with Dr. Kennedy for over four years both in-person and virtually, and I can confidently say he is one of the most thoughtful, compassionate, and insightful doctors I’ve ever encountered. I first came to him seeking support in understanding a possible diagnosis after years of therapy. I was apprehensive about starting medication, but Dr. Kennedy took the time to explain everything in a way that truly resonated by using analogies and examples that made complex concepts feel accessible and clear. What stood out most was his collaborative approach. He personally reached out to my therapist to better understand my history and ensure our work together was well-informed and cohesive. Each session felt purposeful; he would ask thoughtful, guided questions that helped us both assess whether we needed to adjust my treatment plan or continue as-is. I recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone seeking a clinician who combines clinical expertise with genuine compassion!"
