Moving Parts with Ilyse Kennedy
Ilyse is a therapist, group practice owner, and author, who offers trauma informed therapy for children, teens, and adults in South Austin, TX.
Ilyse attributes her passion for this work to her very first therapist. Each time she stepped into her office, Ilyse says, she felt fully seen and delighted in. ”She didn’t offer tools or interventions. She didn’t try to change or cure me. I don’t remember what we talked about, but I can still feel how her eyes lit up when I entered her office. That is how I hope to make folks feel when they step into my own office.”
Prior to working as a therapist, she worked in the music industry. “My passion to help up-and-coming artists was quickly dashed by the realities of the industry. I realized I didn’t want my love of music to die out as it did for many of the higher-ups. Instead of helping the artists and creatives I was excited to support, I was helping cranky music execs who lost their passion.”
