Caprice Kennedy, M.A., MHC-LP

Therapist

Caprice Kennedy is a therapist who works with children ages 3 to 14, offering both in-person and virtual therapy. Her path into this work was deeply felt—rooted in the belief that healing happens when someone is willing to sit alongside others in their hardest moments. She sees therapy as a space where children can learn to embrace who they are, even in their struggles, and begin to build a stronger sense of identity, freedom, and peace.

Caprice holds a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Montclair State University and a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and Wellness from New York University. Her academic work has included research on spatial development in children, therapeutic interventions for childhood sexual trauma, and emotional identification and regulation in early childhood.
For the past several years, Caprice has supported children virtually and is now excited to offer both in-person and online services. Beyond her clinical work, she brings over a decade of experience in creative and relational roles with children, and integrates that creativity into her sessions—using play, music, movement, storytelling, and art to connect, express, and make sense of big emotions. She often says: “Fun unlocks freedom.”

Caprice works holistically, exploring all parts of a child’s life that may be influencing their emotional world. She provides secular therapy and also offers Christian counseling for families who desire a biblical lens in the healing process.

Her approach includes play therapy, narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), existential therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed practices. Caprice helps children process developmental challenges, trauma, anger, anxiety, identity exploration, family conflict, bullying, and low self-esteem. She gently supports children in finding new ways to tell their stories—ones that encourage resilience, connection, and self-compassion.

Caprice believes that therapy can be both mind-changing and life-changing, and that with consistent support, children can begin to feel more hopeful, confident, and empowered as they grow.
