Getting to know Michelle Kennedy

Hi there, I'm Michelle! I hold a Master's in Psychology from San Jose State University and am a Level 1 trained Gottman Marital Therapist. I help couples strengthen their relationships by teaching them to replace negative conflict patterns with positive interactions and to repair past hurts. My interventions are designed to increase closeness and intimacy, improve friendship, and deepen emotional connection. Using primarily a cognitive-behavioral approach, I provide both short- and longer-term therapy to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families with a broad range of presenting problems. Additionally, I utilize Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), originally developed by Dr. Sheila Eyberg, which focuses on promoting positive parent-child relationships and interactions while teaching parents effective child management skills.
