Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
Dr. Paula Kenney, PsyD, LMFT
I am a psychoanalyst and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice in Sacramento. I work from a client-centered, contemporary psychoanalytic framework, and I provide counseling services to adults, adolescents, children, couples, and families. Psychotherapy with me can be either brief or of longer duration, depending on your needs, to help you define who you are as an individual and create the life, work, and relationships you truly want. My professional style is warm and intuitive as I help you identify core issues and obstacles to your happiness. While working with me, you will gain personal insight and learn tools to improve your life to create long-term positive changes. Together, we will get to the heart of the matter so you can feel more grounded, centered, and connected to your deepest self.
