Kyle Kennedy

Kyle Kennedy

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


I have experience in working with: PTSD, addictions, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, caregivers and seniors, child/adults with intellectual/developmental personalities, individuals with ALS/Parkinson's and other chronic illnesses, as well as other health care professionals who seek therapy as a form of self-care. In addition, as a veteran, I have a deep connection to other veterans and their families’ seeking support. Our team works collaboratively to ensure the most effective and favorable outcomes can be achieved for our clients by discussing potential barriers to their individual goals.

As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and a Certified Grief Professional, I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space for those navigating bereavement, anticipatory grief, life transitions, or those who have experienced one or more traumatic experiences. I understand that trauma/grief is not a problem to be "solved," but a process to be honored.

Life has a way of shifting our sense of self, especially when we are navigating the heavy fog of loss or the echoes of past trauma. I'm a therapist dedicated to helping individuals find their footing again after life’s most difficult chapters. My approach is built on changing the way we think to change the way we act/react in order to change the way we feel.

Dr. Madison Buck

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Pennsylvania


A peaceful place to be heard, understood, and restored. Rooted in wisdom. Guided by compassion.

I’m a double board-certified Nurse Practitioner providing thoughtful, evidence-based mental health care that integrates both medical and therapeutic approaches. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice from Temple University in 2019, with a focus in Adult-Gerontology Primary Care, and later completed a post-master’s certification in Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing in 2024.

My clinical background spans the full continuum of care across the lifespan. I have worked extensively with military service members and veterans, gaining a deep understanding of trauma, resilience, and the complexities of balancing mental health with identity, work, and relationships. I also have experience in inpatient child and adolescent psychiatry, where I supported youth and families through acute mental health needs. In addition, I serve as the primary psychiatric provider for a large assisted living community, caring for nearly 450 geriatric residents across multiple levels of support. These experiences allow me to approach care with a broad, nuanced perspective across all stages of life.

As a licensed therapist in Maryland with two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions and emotional challenges.

My professional focus encompasses trauma recovery, mood disorders, military and veteran mental health, and life stage transitions including divorce, grief, and end-of-life counseling. As a former firefighter in the Baltimore area, I bring a deep expertise in addressing posttraumatic stress, first responder mental health, and traumatic brain injury. My approach centers on understanding each individual's unique journey, offering compassionate support for those experiencing stress, anxiety, and emotional complexity.

With a commitment to holistic healing, I work closely with clients to develop resilience, process challenging experiences, and rediscover personal strength. Whether supporting veterans, first responders, or individuals facing significant life changes, I provide a supportive, understanding environment where healing and growth can flourish.

My therapeutic practice is grounded in evidence-based approaches that honor each client's individual experience and potential for transformation.
