Kennedy Counseling Collective

I am passionate about helping you find your voice when difficult experiences and emotions create barriers to relating to others and accomplishing your goals.

We are often occupied with our day-to-day lives and struggles with one another. I will help you go below the surface at your own pace so you can develop a better understanding of yourself and others. This includes processing experiences of trauma and abuse. I help you to acknowledge your feelings and give you a safe space to express yourself. You will move forward in areas in your life where you may have felt stuck before.

I am also here to work with you through discovering your identity, which may include gender identity. I am passionate about exploring how gender and culture intersects with each of our identities and social context.

In my work with children, ages 2 years-old and above, I use play therapy to help them process their experiences and emotions. In the same way that adults value time with a therapist, children find value in having their own space to work through the issues that weigh on them. I love working with children because in our work, I see them build resiliency to develop their confidence and learn how to express themselves.

I will help you live into the life you want. I am a calm presence offering a healing space and feedback to challenge you, that will lead to growth.

I provide individual therapy and couples therapy (relationship therapy) for professionals and new parents. I help you move from busy to intentional city dweller, creating healthy patterns to live in the present.

If you feel you are in crisis - overwhelmed by anxious feelings, panic, stress, or feeling down about your life and relationships - I will help you make sense of those feelings, navigate them, and function better day-to-day.

Our work together may begin with problem-solving and working through the crisis at hand. With my guidance you will quickly understand the undercurrents that have brought you to this place. We will gently address these patterns at your pace and create a healing narrative so that when you leave my office, you are in a better place.

After working with me, you can expect to feel more content and purposeful, to function comfortably in your relationships, master a work-life flow, and be connected to the things that bring you joy.

For new parents, I bring my experience and training to help you navigate the logistical and emotional challenges of pregnancy and parenting. Together we identify your supports and strengths, and create a plan to ensure you have what you need to parent confidently each day.

Alongside young professionals, I help you to understand yourself and create a meaningful role for yourself in today’s world. Areas of focus may include couples therapy, family relationships, vocation, finances, and establishing healthy daily routines. You will leave each appointment with a “take away” assignment or reflection to continue your growth in between our meetings.

Do you feel like you are carrying around a heaviness inside? I am here to help you lighten your emotional load.

When left unchecked, daily stressors related to work, relationships, and internal pressure can push us outside our window of optimal functioning. Together we will work to clear your headspace and make room for fresh perspectives and solutions to ongoing challenges.

In my work with young adults, I help to guide you towards self discovery at this current unique life stage. You may want to focus on establishing your identity, social confidence, navigating career choices, increasing satisfaction in relationships, or starting a family. I will help you gain clarity in the many choices you are confronted with during this exciting and challenging time.

I also offer my experience to those who find themselves in the “sandwich generation.” As the caregiver in the family, you may experience increasing responsibility for your parents while raising your own children. In our work together, we will navigate the burden that can come with balancing roles, while making time to care for yourself.

I believe that you already have the capacity to live your best life. Our work will be uniquely catered to your strengths and needs so that you can progress to living an authentic and full life.

We believe that mental health is a priority, and therapy services should be accessible to everyone. When you work with us, just by showing up for your session, you are helping to provide therapy services to others. We put a portion of our income towards work with others who could not otherwise afford services.

Emotional struggles do not discriminate based on class, race, sex, but the context in which we live can exacerbate issues for us. We all need help at different times in our lives, and our mission is create a system in which you can ‘pay it forward’ to others while valuing yourself by reflecting on your own life.

Become a part of our mission & contact us.

Play Therapy

We specialize in providing play therapy for children and their families. For children, therapy work looks like play. We create a safe space for children to freely express the full range of their emotions, which may be difficult for you and them when expressed at home and/or school. The therapeutic toys in our playroom paired with our interventions will help your child to process, heal, and move forward with greater confidence. To get your child the help they need, start here.

Caregiver Support

For the Sandwich Generation, Caregiver Support is becoming an increasingly prevalent mental health concern. Adults between the ages of 30-40 are juggling the responsibilities of children and aging parents. Erica Greenspan, LICSW of Kennedy Counseling Collective Counseling Metro DC, will work with you to navigate the burden that can come with balancing roles, while making time to care for yourself. Contact us today to get more information.
