Eileen Kennedy-Moore

When parents notice their child has gone quiet at lunch, stopped mentioning friends, or started dreading school mornings — that’s often the moment they call Eileen Kennedy-Moore. Adults reach out too, carrying anxiety, grief, or the low-grade exhaustion that sets in when life feels harder than it should. Kennedy-Moore is a licensed clinical psychologist based in Princeton, New Jersey, who works with children, teenagers, and adults navigating stress, depression, mood disorders, relationship strain, and major life transitions — including the particular difficulty of rebuilding focus when every device and notification is engineered to pull attention somewhere else before a thought can finish forming.

Her approach is gentle, practical, and grounded in research. She works with individuals and families, addressing concerns that range from childhood friendship struggles and parenting questions to adult anxiety, panic, phobias, grief, and midlife transitions. Sessions are available during daytime hours, in person or online.

Beyond her clinical work, Kennedy-Moore has written nine traditionally published books for children and parents on friendship, emotions, and raising confident kids, and hosts a podcast and blog that together reach millions of families. Note: she is not in-network with insurance plans; clients are encouraged to check with their provider about out-of-network benefits.
