Meet the Team

Hello there, and welcome.

I’m Christina Kennedy (she/her), MA, LMFT

Founder + Psychotherapist Wild Willow Counseling, PLLC

I’m so glad you’re here.

You've been struggling for so long and you are ready to move forward. But, how do you find a therapist in Tempe, AZ that you can really trust? How do you find someone who truly meets your needs and understands what YOU are all about? The process of therapy needs to happen with someone you trust and can click with. 

Hi, my name is Christina Kennedy, and I became a therapist in Tempe, AZ because I deeply love helping people who have been through hard situations and want to make their life better. Throughout life, I have seen so much pain around me in the world, and through my own experience, have discovered how powerful therapy can be.

I am a master level clinician and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Arizona (LMFT-16131). I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and have been working with individuals and couples to deepen their connection to themselves and others for over a decade. My clinical lens is “eclectic” and informed by many of the great psychological researchers of our time. I have extensive training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (couples + relationships), Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My specialties include working with individuals who are healing from Anxiety, a Break up / Broken Heart, and Grief + Loss. Additionally, I am passionate about holding a safe space for couples to detangle their negative and destructive conflict cycle, heal their broken bonds, and build a safe and secure attachment. Whether you are a talker or strong and silent, and whatever type of bad experience you've been through — I've got the tools and strategies that really work. And, if what we do doesn't work, I'm gonna change it up or refer you out. I care more about you actually healing and making progress and living a healed life full of joy than anything else.
