Brian E. Kennedy-Arenivar

I believe meaningful change begins when people feel genuinely seen, understood, and accepted. I provide Jungian psychoanalysis and depth-oriented psychotherapy in Manhattan for adults, couples, adolescents, and children age 10 and older. I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, creative blocks, life transitions, and a sense that something important in their lives needs greater attention or understanding. My approach is grounded in Jungian psychoanalysis and focuses on helping people better understand recurring patterns, emotions, relationships, creativity, and the unconscious dynamics that shape their lives. Rather than focusing only on symptom relief, our work can explore the deeper meaning of what you are experiencing and support greater self-understanding, authenticity, and psychological growth. Dream work may also be part of the process. Dreams can offer symbolic perspectives on current relationships, conflicts, emotions, and transitions that may not yet be fully conscious. I also utilize sandplay therapy as another way of engaging with unconscious material when appropriate. I am a Certified Jungian Analyst and Licensed Mental Health Counselor with more than twenty years of combined experience in psychotherapy, education, and Jungian training. My clinical background includes hospitals, schools, community mental health programs, crisis services, and private practice. My private practice is located in the Flatiron area of Manhattan, and I work with patients seeking Jungian psychoanalysis, depth psychotherapy, and couples therapy in New York City. The first step is a free 15-minute phone consultation, which can be scheduled through my website: https://briankennedyarenivar.com/. This conversation provides an opportunity to discuss what brings you to treatment, ask questions about my approach, and explore whether working together feels like a good fit. I am currently accepting new patients.
