Amy Kennedy, MS, LPC, CRC, NCC

I have a private practice providing individual mental health counseling for adults via telehealth in Oregon. I also provide clinical supervision for pre-licensed Registered Associates in Oregon. I view mental health from a whole body health perspective and emphasize the role of the brain, body, and spirit in well-being. I offer support for clients experiencing adjustment to chronic illness and disability, as well as those who would like to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, life transitions & grief and loss. Weekly therapy sessions focus on identifying and addressing any relevant origins of symptoms and developing tools to cope.

Background

I have an M.S. in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling from Portland State University. I received a B.A. in Psychology and Painting from Lewis & Clark College. I am a PhD Candidate in Counseling at Oregon State University, with research focused on medical patient experience.

I have worked with individuals with a range of mental health concerns, vision loss, chronic illness, and disability in Portland, OR and the Rogue Valley. I previously provided counseling, case management, and community-based services in community mental health and vocational rehabilitation.

I have additional training and/or education in yoga, NVC, and hospice. With a background in the arts and time spent outdoors, I value the role of creativity and nature in mental health and healing.
