What Our Clients Say
“I initially came to KCC as a result of challenges in my relationship with my partner. The therapy I received helped me connect the dots I needed to in order to understand how to move forward in a healthy way. I left KCC with more positive progress than I ever thought I would gain.”
"Words can't express how grateful I am to my therapist for helping me rebuild myself - for identifying approaches that aren't working for me anymore, for making connections that help me understand how I got here, and for helping me identify new approaches that better fit who I am now and how I want to be in this world."
"Our work together has changed my life. I've made more progress in our one year of sessions than my past 9 years of other work combined."
"The safe space to share without having to edit my words to audiences who might “judge” me was great and also forced me to tell my therapist how I am feeling without masking anything."
“Having an ally and a sounding board as I worked through marital issues, and helping me to shift my mindset and approach to conflict and difficult moments.”
"The most valuable thing about my therapy was] having someone unbiased get to know our son and become a supporter that he can/could trust"
“Learning to feel comfortable in my own skin again.”

EXCELLENT Based on 16 reviews Posted on Google Viraj PatelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our counselor Emily has helped us to communicate and understand each other in a better way. We are in so much better place now then when we started, it’s always better to have someone listen to us and make us see from outside view, also guide us in a way we can be helped. Thank you Emily and Kennedy counseling.Posted on Google Sylvia SaabTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve consistently seen Kennedy Counseling Collective show up for our neighborhood—not just in name, but in action. They’re a visible and active presence at community events, genuinely engaging with residents and demonstrating a deep commitment to our well-being. From sponsoring and participating in local initiatives to rolling up their sleeves for the annual Kennedy Street cleanup, their involvement is both consistent and meaningful. It’s clear they’re not just here to provide services—they’re here to build relationships, uplift the community, and be part of the positive change. Their dedication doesn’t go unnoticed. Kennedy Counseling Collective is a true asset to the neighborhood, and we’re lucky to have them.Posted on Google Michael CharlesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Since moving to the area I have been going here for support. My therapist is terrific and the space is always clean and inviting. The friend who recommended this group also loves her therapist. Two for two! The waiting room has tea and water, comfy seats and a lot of stuff for kids. I have always felt respected and supported by my therapist and the business seems to really care about making people feel comfortable. It's been a godsend, especially during these turbulent times.Posted on Google David NorthTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Kennedy Counseling Collective is a terrific organization. Our daughter received excellent support. She loved her time with Miss Andie and we felt good about the experience from the beginning. If you're thinking about a place to look for someone to talk to, start here.Posted on Google Justin NobleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team at Kennedy Counseling are truly lovely. The space itself is warm, inviting and SAFE. It feels like a second home. The 'people placement' was so spot on when I was placed with my therapist -- I didn't look back (I know that doesn't usually happen). The collective is also super involved in the community which I LOVE. Hands down I recommend KCC to everyone I know.Posted on Google Denique CunninghamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Did not have a great experience trying to connect with a counselor. My appointment was rescheduled about 4 times, and when I finally got an opportunity to connect virtually, it lasted 3 seconds, then she ended the call. I attempted to re-enter the chat with no success. I never received an email or a callback to clarify, rectify or any kind of follow up whatsoever.Posted on Google Keina NewellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I connected with the team at Kennedy Counseling almost four years ago. Most of the work I've done with their team has been with Heidi. I have found Heidi to be personable, professional, and attentive. I also love Kennedy Counseling Collective because they offer support to the local Petworth/Shaw community.Posted on Google Sarah PerlTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kennedy Counseling is a woman owned business providing warm, compassionate care. I’d recommend this practice to anyone looking for high quality psychotherapy services.
