Jody Kennedy, LCT-C, is a newer therapist bringing nearly 30 years of healthcare experience as an ICU nurse and cardiovascular perfusionist to this work. She understands the pressures healthcare professionals face and the challenges of living with acute, chronic, or critical illness—having walked that path herself.

Jody’s approach is holistic, client-centered, and integrative. She meets people as whole beings—body, mind, and spirit—and draws from ACT, CBT, Existential Therapy, psychodynamic theory, somatic therapy, and mindfulness. Therapy is a partnership: clients steer the boat, and she helps navigate.

She has a special interest in trauma, helping clients process painful experiences, understand how trauma impacts the body and mind, and move toward healing and resilience. She also works with teens (14+) through seniors on anxiety, depression, relationships, life transitions, and supporting healthcare professionals and those navigating health challenges. Lastly, Jody also has limited appointments for couples counselling. 

At the heart of her practice, Jody believes every client is the author of their own story. Therapy is a safe, collaborative space to explore, grow, and write the next chapter of life with intention, strength, and hope.
