About Mark Kenney

Mark Kenney is a California-licensed LMFT with seven years of professional experience, offering thoughtful, skills-based support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions. As an LMFT - which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - he blends clinical training with a practical focus on helping clients tap into their existing strengths and resources.

Mark approaches therapy from the view that each person is the expert of their own story. He works to separate the weight of other people’s expectations from an individual’s true needs so that those personal priorities can be identified and honored. He emphasizes helping clients find agency and the capacity to be seen and heard in their lives and relationships.

In sessions he supports work on motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and career difficulties, and he assists people who are coping with major life changes. His style centers on collaboration and clear, actionable steps that align with a client’s goals and values.

Taking the first step can feel courageous, and Mark recognizes that beginning therapy is an important move toward change. He aims to create a steady, respectful process for people ready to explore what matters most to them.
