Experience

I’m Danielle Kenney, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker for over 25 years. Throughout that time I have helped countless parents navigate stressful moments in their lives with warmth, compassion, and a little humor. I’m devoted to helping women overcome challenges during their transition to motherhood, one step at a time. Before starting my private practice, I was a senior psychotherapist at The Leggett Group Therapy, where I specialized in perinatal mental health. Prior to that, I worked in the NICU at Brigham and Women’s Hospital as a NICU Family Support Specialist, which was deeply meaningful and personal, as I am the mother of a preemie myself. In addition to private practice, I provide workshops, trainings, and supervision for clinicians interested in the field of perinatal mental health.

Specialized Perinatal Mental Health Training

I am a certified perinatal mental health specialist and have advanced training in assessing, diagnosing, and treating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders through both The Postpartum Stress Center and Postpartum Support International. I am uniquely qualified in treating women and birthing people who have experienced devastating loss, traumatic birth, or are NICU parents. I am trained and certified in Mindful Motherhood, a mindfulness-oriented stress reduction course. I have post graduate training in Perinatal Loss and Bereavement through COPE, the Centre Of Perinatal Excellence as well as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) training through the Touchstone Institute.
