Dr. Shez Kennedy,
Psy.D.
Born in Harlem and trained at the highest levels of clinical psychology, Dr. Kennedy brings a rare synthesis of lived wisdom and rigorous scholarship to every client, audience, and page she touches.
Dr. Kennedy earned her M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University and her Psy.D. from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. Her foundational training at the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health equipped her to work with complex trauma, attachment disorders, narcissistic dynamics, and life-altering transitions with uncommon depth and precision.
For more than a decade she has maintained a private practice in Los Angeles — working with individuals, couples, and families with the full weight of her clinical training and the profound warmth of her Harlem upbringing. She is also a sought-after keynote speaker, a published author of three books, and a passionate advocate for making evidence-based psychology accessible to all.
