Kevin Kenney, Ph.D.
Specializes In:
Kevin Kenney helps teens, adults, and older adults throughout New York navigate emotional, behavioral, and relationship challenges with a thoughtful, evidence-based approach. As a psychologist at LifeStance Health, he works collaboratively with patients to better understand their experiences, develop practical coping strategies, and build lasting resilience. Kevin provides care for concerns such as anxiety, depression, and ADHD, while also supporting individuals facing a broad range of other mental health and life stressors. A key area of Kevin’s practice is psychological and neuropsychological testing. He is passionate about helping patients gain clarity regarding cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and developmental concerns through comprehensive evaluations. His assessment services can provide valuable insights that guide treatment planning, academic or workplace accommodations, and personal growth. He also works with individuals affected by autism spectrum disorders, developmental disabilities, and head injuries, tailoring recommendations to each person’s unique needs. Kevin believes that effective therapy begins with a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect, and open communication. He incorporates evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based approaches to help patients develop meaningful skills for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning. In addition to individual therapy, he provides couples therapy for those seeking to strengthen communication, address relationship concerns, and foster healthier connections. Since beginning his clinical career in 2001, Kevin has remained committed to providing compassionate, high-quality mental health care. He earned his education through studies at Hofstra University and Marist College, building a strong foundation in psychological assessment and therapeutic treatment. Outside of his professional work, Kevin enjoys music, baseball and other sports, American history, and science fiction books and movies. These interests contribute to his curiosity, creativity, and ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds.
