Moving Parts Psychotherapy was founded in 2017 by Ilyse Kennedy, a licensed professional counselor and marriage and family therapist with specialized perinatal mental health certification.

Services
Trauma Therapy
Our trauma therapy addresses both acute and complex PTSD through integrated mind-body approaches. Clinicians use evidence-based modalities like EMDR and Somatic Experiencing to process traumatic memories stored in the nervous system. We specialize in treating intergenerational trauma, dissociative disorders, and identity-related challenges while emphasizing client-led healing.
Individual Therapy
Tailored therapy sessions address anxiety, depression, perinatal mood disorders, and relational challenges. Our interpersonal neurobiology approach examines how traumatic memories affect brain-body connections. Sessions combine talk therapy with expressive techniques like art and sandtray to help clients access inner strengths and develop coping strategies for improved mental wellness.
Child & Teen Therapy
Specialized therapy for ages 5+ uses play, art, and creativity to address behavioral challenges, trauma, and school difficulties. Our clinicians help children process anxiety, depression, and attachment issues through developmentally appropriate techniques. Family involvement supports healing while maintaining age-specific therapeutic approaches.
Couple & Family Counseling
Trauma-informed relationship therapy helps couples and families improve communication and connection. We address relational trauma patterns while building healthier interaction frameworks. Sessions focus on repairing attachment bonds and creating safe spaces for emotional vulnerability through evidence-based interventions.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
This innovative treatment combines ketamine administration with psychotherapy for treatment-resistant mental health conditions. Our clinicians guide clients through psychedelic experiences to access and process deep-seated trauma. The integrative approach enhances traditional therapy effectiveness by creating neuroplasticity opportunities for lasting healing.
