Amy Kennedy, PhD, LPC, CRC, NCC

Please note: My practice is currently closed and I am not accepting clients.

I have a private practice providing individual mental health counseling for adults via telehealth 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 anxiety, life transitions, and grief and loss. Weekly therapy sessions focus on identifying and addressing any relevant origins of symptoms and developing tools to cope.

Background

I have a PhD in Counseling from Oregon State University. I received an M.S. in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling from Portland State University and a B.A. in Psychology and Painting from Lewis & Clark College.

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 Polyvagal Theory, Restorative and Hatha 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.
