Kieran Kennedy is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner at the Center for Anxiety & Depression, where he provides psychiatric evaluation and medication management for adults. He earned his Doctor of Nursing Practice from the University of Washington.

Originally from rural South Westland, New Zealand, Kieran draws on nearly two decades of behavioral health experience in the United States and United Kingdom. He has worked across community, residential, correctional, emergency, and inpatient settings, including more than a decade at Harborview Medical Center. His nursing experience includes work as a registered nurse and charge nurse in psychiatric intensive care.

Kieran is particularly interested in how a clearer understanding of mental health difficulties, together with practical coping skills, can help people regain confidence and agency in their lives. He takes time to understand the person behind the symptoms—their experiences, circumstances, previous treatment, and what they hope will change.

His approach integrates medication management with supportive therapy and practical skill-building. He values therapeutic relationships grounded in attentive listening, cultural humility, and collaboration, working with patients to develop treatment plans that reflect their needs and goals.
