Meet Kennedy Ford, LSW 

Originally from California, Kennedy has called Chicago home for the past five years after completing her master’s degree. Kennedy provides individual therapy with a warm, calm, and collaborative approach. She incorporates evidence-based strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), communication skills, and self-advocacy to help clients better understand themselves, navigate challenges, and develop practical tools they can use in their daily lives.

Her clinical experience includes supporting clients experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, body image concerns, and difficulties with communication and self-advocacy. She especially values the opportunity to work alongside young people while also helping parents and caregivers better understand and support their children. She sees herself as a bridge between children and the adults in their lives, creating space for both perspectives while helping families communicate more effectively.

While her current work has primarily focused on children and adolescents, Kennedy is expanding her clinical experience across age groups, including working with college-aged young adults. She brings curiosity and a commitment to continued learning to her work, allowing her practice to evolve alongside the needs of her clients.
