Adult, Child, and Adolescent Psychotherapy in NYC.
Brian Kennedy-Arenivar, Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York City. Services provided for Adults, Children, Adolescents, and Couples. Contact Brian today to begin your journey to healing.
Welcome.
My name is Brian E. Kennedy-Arenivar. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). I believe that our life experiences shape us; however, they do not have to define everything about us. Psychotherapy provides an opportunity, regardless of age, to live a more balanced life. I consider it an honor and privilege when someone chooses me as their psychotherapist.
I see children (age 10+), adolescents, and adults for individual therapy. I also provide couples therapy.
My overall therapeutic approach is based in Depth Psychology. I work from this theoretical framework with all ages. This is also integrated in my work with couples.
Contact me today to learn more about my services.

Adults
I see adults who seeking more meaning to their lives. I specialize in working with people experiencing: anxiety, depression, life adjustments, relationship issues, men’s issues, trauma, ADHD, autism, grief, substance usage, work-related stressors, and creative blocks. I am also an ally for members of the LBGTQIA+ community.
-
Children
I see children starting at age ten. Parents typically decide to bring their child to see a psychotherapist when they have noticed changes in behaviors at school and home. Areas of expertise include: life transitions, anxiety, trauma, depression, anger, ADHD, and autism. I am also an ally for the LGBTQIA+ community, and I am experienced in working with children who identify as trans. I provide play therapy and sandplay therapy for children.
-
Adolescents
I provide therapy for adolescents who are experiencing depression, anxiety, anger, life adjustments, and substance usage. I also work with challenges associated with a diagnosis of ADHD, autism, and mood disorders. I am also an ally for the LGBTQIA+ community, and I am experienced in working with adolescents who identify as trans.

Couples
Maybe you are at a place in your relationship where you need a new way to express yourself after being together for a long time. Or, you might be struggling with learning how to communicate about topics you have both been avoiding. I see couples who have been together for several months, to several years. I also see couples who are engaged to be married and have decided to seek premarital counseling. I am experienced in working with the following couples: married, partnered, polyamorous, LGBTQIA+, heterosexual, and intercultural.
