Greetings, my name is Tom Kenneally. I am a Doctor of Psychology and a licensed psychologist. I have 20 plus years of experience as a therapist. I have training and degrees in counseling psychology, marriage and family therapy and general psychology. Additionally I have experience in EMDR and 'post modern' therapies such as narrative and solution focused. I graduated from a Catholic University in San Antonio named 'Our Lady of the Lake' which has the distinction of being a leader in training culturally sensitive psychologists. My Doctoral internship was at The Mental Health wing of Hazelden, the worlds oldest treatment facility for addictions. I have done my own extensive personal therapy and bring that personal experience to supporting my clients. I'm the proud father of a wonderful daughter and grandfather of two great grandkids.
The best short description of my style of supporting my clients is as a 'Jungian oriented' psychologist. This simply means that the process of therapy is a deeply unique and individual journey of change and healing. The client is discovering what doesn't work for them and exploring what works better. The support of good therapeutic help accelerates what the individual client is already doing to move toward a more satisfying and enjoyable life.
This sounds positive and nice but the process is often very scary and painful. When a person is stuck in their healing process it manifests as mental health symptoms like depression and anxiety. Good support reduces that pain and symptoms and gets a person to a better place.
Life and the therapeutic (healing/growth) process is an individual journey in many ways but benefits immensely from our relationships with others, intimate and otherwise. As a result many people seeking therapeutic support identify relationships as the area where they most want improvements. This is an area of expertise for the style of therapy I employ.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Joseph Kenneally. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Dr. Kenneally brings a rare depth of classical Jungian practice that goes well beyond surface-level therapy. His work is grounded in a disciplined understanding of archetypes, shadow integration, and the long arc of personal development.
What stands out is his ability to help make sense of what I would call the “baseline trauma” of simply living a full life. After five decades, you accumulate experiences, contradictions, and unresolved patterns. He doesn’t try to rush past that or simplify it. Instead, he helps you engage with it directly, with structure and meaning.
His approach is thoughtful, patient, and intellectually rigorous. Sessions feel less like problem-solving and more like guided exploration, where insights actually stick and compound over time. There’s a clear respect for the individual’s story, without losing sight of the deeper psychological frameworks that make the work effective.
If you’re looking for quick fixes, this probably isn’t the right fit. But if you’re serious about understanding yourself at a deeper level and doing the work properly, he’s very good at what he does.

Dr. Kenneally is very patient and explains things simply. He has been my therapist for a few months now and I can see a change in my thought patterns and behaviour. He has given me the ability to be a little kinder to myself and reframed my negative way of thinking. 10/10 would recommend
