My career path has been varied. I started as a publicist — then worked as a freelance journalist for over a decade. I had a burning desire to understand what made people expand and retract, struggle or thrive. I’ve interviewed hundreds of fascinating people throughout my professional life. I earned a Masters in Clinical Psychology and tr

ained with both Community Counseling and Education Center (CCEC) and Pacific Pride Foundation (PPF) in Santa Barbara. Additionally, I’ve taken training focused on helping couples through the Gottman Institute and Sue Johnson’s EFT. In January 2022, I finished a PhD in Clinical S*xology. I have also done extensive training in in EMDR, S*x Addiction and S*x Therapy. Please call for a free consultation.

Our Story

Jenn Kennedy, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #99688 My career path has been varied. I started as a publicist — then worked as a freelance journalist for over a decade. Both these careers were about my love of people. I had a burning desire to understand what made people expand and retract, struggle or thrive. I’ve interviewed hundreds of fascinating people throughout my professional life.

I specialize in a s*x and gender. That translates to s*x therapy (both for individuals and couples), s*x addiction/compulsion (issues with p**n, infidelity, prostitution) and LGBT. With these specialties, I have an interesting mix of clients. The transgender clients and those struggling with p**n tend to be young adults, however the rest of my clients are typically 30-65 years old. Those struggling with compulsivity tend to be male (not always), while those struggling with s*xual satisfaction tend to be female.

Recently, my practice has expanded to those looking for more s*xual satisfaction and who are also recovering from childhood s*xual abuse. I am a Certified S*x Addiction Therapist (CSAT), trained in EMDR (trauma protocol) and work in a variety of modalities—depending on the presenting issue and the disposition of the client. Currently I’m working on a PhD in Clinical S*xology. I also teach Intimate Relationships (couples work) at Antioch University Santa Barbara. Please call for a free consultation. Phone: 805-699-6834.
