Ben Kennedy, AMFT. Depth-oriented, psychoanalytic psychotherapy in Los Angeles, with offices in Los Feliz and Pasadena and online sessions across California.

In our work together we'll create a nonjudgmental space to explore your inner world, inviting parts of yourself forward that might usually stay hidden. I take an active, collaborative role, working alongside you. I'll ask you to bring your whole self. I'll bring my whole self too: curiosity, warmth, and a willingness to say what feels important. We'll use the therapeutic relationship as a supportive space for exploring the unconscious.

Nothing is too big or small to talk about. Together we'll find new ways of relating, to yourself and others. We will explore both past and present. I work creatively with unconscious thoughts, the body's signals, relationships, reverie, and the things you maybe haven't said out loud.

I have extensive experience supporting individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, relational struggles, unprocessed trauma and creative blocks. I work with couples navigating intimacy and communication challenges. I draw from a psychodynamic approach, integrating somatic practices and EMDR. I often integrate art to deepen exploration and spark growth. No two courses of therapy are the same.

Therapy is not about fixing you, because you are not broken. It's about rediscovering the parts of yourself hiding in plain sight, and becoming more fully who you are.
