Dr. Martrice Kennedy
Call me Dr. K! I am a licensed clinical social worker with a passion to actively participate in educating the world on trauma prevention and the prevention of gun violence. I am an advocate for the fair treatment of others and quality care for all.
I believe my strengths as a provider is that I do not shy away from disrupting the norms.
When I'm not providing therapy I am volunteering my time in the community or looking for opportunities to share knowledge of the impact of trauma.
First session
First sessions generally begin with introductions, a review of your ideas for care and learning how we can work together. During your session feel free to bring questions you may have or share past experiences in care. This will help me learn any strategies that may not have worked for you as well as strategies that did work.
Strengths
Past clients have challenged me to become a well-rounded clinician. They have inspired me to find creative ways to conduct sessions. From home visits making arts & crafts with children to hearing a client share advice from a session to a family member. I strive to think outside the box for therapy to bring about change. I believe my strengths as a provider is that I do not shy away from disrupting the norms.
Ideal clients
I love working with adults who are looking to navigate life stressors. My clients typically have reached a point of wanting to make improvements in work-life balance. Other clients had trouble with family trauma, going through divorce or seeking an accountability partner in setting boundaries.
Treatment methods
Child-Parent Psychotherapy
This modality has been developed for caregivers and their child(ren) aged newborn to 5 years of age only. I have completed an amazing 18-month training cohort including supervision by CPP trained professionals. CPP is one of my favorite approaches working with primary caregivers and their young one(s). With this treatment I explore the history of each caregiver and the their ideas about parenting. All sessions are created to provide a safe space for all members and help the family process their trauma.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is an effective treatment that can be applied to a variety of challenges. For over 10 years I have used CBT to work with issues such as depression, trauma, life stressors and more. A typical CBT session explores your thoughts, feelings and actions about a particular situation.
