I.
Those looking for the best therapist for themselves
Kenwood's special skill is in selecting, from more than
200 therapists, the therapist we think has the best chance
of producing optimum results for each client. To find out
more visit: How Therapy
Matchmaking Works.
II. Those looking for the best therapist in a particular
fee range
A. High Fee Range Selections
Those willing to pay a high fee need to be protected from
exploitation. Some therapists charge exorbitant fees. Other
therapists charge fees higher than their training or expertise
would ordinarily allow. Kenwood ensures that even those we
select who charge the highest fees have the background, training
and experience to justify those fees.
B.
Low Fee Range Selections
Those on a tight budget have particular concerns about finding
the best therapist their budget will allow—even better
than their budget will allow if possible. Kenwood strives
to find superior therapists in every fee range, and we follow
the same requirements when selecting a low-fee therapist as
when selecting a high-fee therapist.

III. Those in certain professions
A disproportionately high percentage of Kenwood's clients come
from certain professions:
- The entertainment industry (theater, film, television)
- Investment banking
- Law
- People in the arts
- Medical professionals
- Educators (teachers, school administrators)
- Clergy and religious
Since we serve all professions equally, it is not clear to
us why these professions have come to prefer us. It could
simply be because so many people in New York work in these
professions, or perhaps by chance those coming to us from
these professions happen to have recommended us more frequently
to their friends. It could also be that some of these professions
are professions where an improvement in mental health has
an immediate effect on success in that field. We like to think
that people in these professions come to us because of the
quality of our services—this
certainly tends to be the reason they state for choosing Kenwood.
Those in other professions should feel equally comfortable
in calling us—in the past 20 years Kenwood Psychological
Services has served those in nearly every imaginable profession.
IV. Those in certain stages of life
Certain stages of life create strains that therapy might relieve:
- The
transition from childhood friendships to deep adult relationships
- The
transition from college student to independent adult
- The
transition from single to married
- The
transition from married to married-with-children
- Raising
children or adolescents who are experiencing problems
- The
transition from working to retirement
V.
Those experiencing problems
Everyone feels depressed at times. If the depression goes
on for weeks or months, however, or if it drains any interest
from life, then it may be wise to seek help. Everyone feels
anxious at times. If the anxiety interferes with ordinary
life, however, then it may be time to seek help. The same
can be said of many feelings or behaviors, such as compulsive
orderliness, overspending, daydreaming, anger, intrusive or
repetitive thoughts, relationship difficulties: if these problems
are experienced once in a while to a moderate degree, they
may not interfere with your life, but if they are ongoing
to a severe degree, they may hamper your ability to function
in the way you would like. When you notice this happening,
it may be a good idea to call Kenwood Psychological Services
for help.
VI.
Those whose previous or current therapy has not worked
Kenwood frequently receives calls from people who have tried
therapy once or several times in the past, without having
achieved the goals they would like. Kenwood Psychological
Services has had particular success with such people. This
success seems to come from the beneficial effect of Kenwood's
procedures: quality control, careful matching of client and
therapist, and conversation about the process.

VII.
Those looking for secure confidentiality
Everyone who comes to Kenwood expects, and receives, the
highest level of confidentiality. Kenwood Psychological
Services is a private agency, our records belong to us alone.
We do not reveal information about you without either your
express permission or a legal requirement that we do so.
Certain clients find Kenwood's strict confidentiality
particularly reassuring.
A. Those in the public eye
- Famous
stage and screen personalities
- Politicians
- Public
figures
B.
Those in certain professions or working for certain companies
Twenty years ago, nearly every client was reluctant to let an
employer, or even a friend, know they were in therapy. Today
nearly everyone discusses their therapy with their friends,
colleagues and employers. Some companies and some professions,
however, still have the old restraints. Young lawyers on the
"partner track," for example, fear the competitive disadvantage
they might experience if they were known to be in therapy. A
few companies still view therapy with suspicion. Kenwood's strict
confidentiality is very reassuring to people working in those
professions.
