Sinead M. Kennedy

Therapist

Virtual • New York


If you've spent years taking care of everyone else, questioning yourself, struggling with boundaries, or repeating painful relationship patterns, I want you to know: you're not alone, and these patterns make sense once we understand where they came from.

I'm a warm, relational therapist who works alongside you — not just for you. Together, we'll trace the roots of what's keeping you stuck, whether that's family-of-origin patterns, attachment wounds, or the long reach of addiction in your family. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself, trust your own voice, and build the kind of relationships — with others and with yourself — that actually feel good.

Jennifer Visconti

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Hi, I’m Jennifer Visconti, a Licensed Mental Health Clinician in New York. I earned my Master’s degree in 2017 and have several years of experience supporting individuals through a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and life challenges.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, substance use, anger management concerns, and difficult life transitions. I also have experience working in various treatment settings including correctional facilities, where I’ve had the opportunity to support people from diverse backgrounds and with a variety of needs.

I believe that every person’s story is unique, and I value getting to know the individual behind the challenges they are experiencing. My goal is to create a welcoming, respectful, and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself and talking openly about what brings you to therapy.

Whether you’re dealing with a specific concern or simply feel that something in your life needs to change, I’m here to help you navigate the process and work toward meaningful change.

Shonny Capodilupo

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I want you to know that when you come into therapy with me, you don’t have to pretend, minimize, or hold everything together. You get to show up exactly as you are — overwhelmed, hopeful, exhausted, confused, motivated, or anything in between. We take it from there together.

My favorite part of this work has always been sitting with people one‐on‐one. That’s where real connection and real healing happen. I genuinely enjoy getting to know who you are, what you’ve been carrying, and what you’re hoping might feel different.

My style is warm, steady, and honest. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and help you understand the experiences and patterns that are shaping your life. I’m also practical — I like to offer tools and strategies you can actually use in your day‐to‐day life, not just in the therapy room.

I work with people dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, major transitions, and substance use concerns. But most importantly, I work with people who feel stuck or weighed down and aren’t sure how to move forward. Everyone deserves a space where they can breathe and be supported.

Something I tell clients often is this: I don’t want you to just feel better — I want you to be well. Feeling better can be temporary. Being well means building insight, healing, and lasting change.

My goal is simple: to help you feel safe, understood, and supported as you find your footing and move toward what’s healthier and more meaningful for you.
