Brian E. Kennedy-Arenivar

I believe meaningful change begins when people feel genuinely seen, understood, and accepted. My approach to psychotherapy is grounded in the belief that many of our struggles become more understandable, and more workable, when we have a space to explore them with curiosity, honesty, and care. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, grief, or a growing sense that something important in your life needs attention, therapy can provide an opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences. My work is informed by Jungian Analysis, Sandplay Therapy, and depth-oriented psychotherapy. I help individuals explore recurring patterns, emotions, dreams, relationships, creativity, and the unconscious dynamics that shape their lives. Rather than focusing solely on symptom relief, I work with people seeking greater self-understanding, authenticity, and meaning. I have worked as a psychotherapist for more than twenty years in a variety of settings, including hospitals, schools, community mental health programs, crisis services, and private practice. I work with children beginning at age 10, adolescents, adults, and couples. The first step is a free 15-minute phone consultation. This conversation provides an opportunity to discuss what brings you to therapy, ask questions about my approach, and explore whether working together feels like a good fit. I am currently accepting new patients. To schedule a clinical consultation, please visit: https://briankennedyarenivar.com/clinical-consultation I look forward to speaking with you.
