Dr. Joseph Kenneally, Psychologist
About me
Greetings, my name is Tom Kenneally. I am a Doctor of Psychology and a licensed psychologist. I have 20 plus years of experience as a therapist. I have training and degrees in counseling psychology, marriage and family therapy and general psychology. Additionally I have experience in EMDR and 'post modern' therapies such as narrative and solution focused. I graduated from a Catholic University in San Antonio named 'Our Lady of the Lake' which has the distinction of being a leader in training culturally sensitive psychologists. My Doctoral internship was at The Mental Health wing of Hazelden, the worlds oldest treatment facility for addictions. I have done my own extensive personal therapy and bring that personal experience to supporting my clients. I'm the proud father of a wonderful daughter and grandfather of two great grandkids.
The best short description of my style of supporting my clients is as a 'Jungian oriented' psychologist. This simply means that the process of therapy is a deeply unique and individual journey of change and healing. The client is discovering what doesn't work for them and exploring what works better. The support of good therapeutic help accelerates what the individual client is already doing to move toward a more satisfying and enjoyable life.
This sounds positive and nice but the process is often very scary and painful. When a person is stuck in their healing process it manifests as mental health symptoms like depression and anxiety. Good support reduces that pain and symptoms and gets a person to a better place.
Life and the therapeutic (healing/growth) process is an individual journey in many ways but benefits immensely from our relationships with others, intimate and otherwise. As a result many people seeking therapeutic support identify relationships as the area where they most want improvements. This is an area of expertise for the style of therapy I employ.

Dr. Kenneally is very patient and explains things simply. He has been my therapist for a few months now and I can see a change in my thought patterns and behaviour. He has given me the ability to be a little kinder to myself and reframed my negative way of thinking. 10/10 would recommend

Dr. Kenneally is the best! I was giving up on counseling until I found him! I felt so much better and stronger right after my first session with him. I am beyond happy that I finally found a counselor that understands me. I am looking forward to having more sessions with him! I know he is gonna save me. I definitely recommend him. He is such an expert he knows exactly what is wrong and he is not scared to tell you and help you work on it.
