Kenneth Macintosh, LICSW

Kenny is a US Navy Veteran (Corpsman/Medic) and therapist specializing in PTSD, anxiety, self-sabotaging behaviors, and depression. Are you genuinely curious about unhelpful patterns that seem to keep showing up in your life and relationships? Do you ask why you can't let things go, have trust issues, or the inability to relax? You keep putting other's needs first, have trouble setting boundaries or communicating your needs? Unable to see your purpose? Real change can only occur when you are genuinely curious about uncovering recurring patterns and are motivated to try out new strategies to break them.

Kenny's style of therapy can be described as warm, nonjudgmental, with a blunt sense of humor. Validation, compassion, and encouragement are essential, sugarcoating reality is not. He feels that any relationship can be a model on how to trust, communicate, and connect – even the therapeutic relationship.

Following his service, he completed his Masters of Social Work at Simmons University. He worked in various settings including nursing homes, hospitals, and shelters. He spent several years as a Suicide Prevention Coordinator and Readjustment Counselor for Veterans.
