Riviera Therapy
Our team of experienced clinicians specializes in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate challenges in sex and relationships, teen and young adult issues, addiction recovery (including substance abuse and sex addiction), and parenting guidance. We use proven, evidence-based therapies — including EMDR for trauma treatment — to provide compassionate, effective care tailored to your unique needs.
Riviera Therapy is an out-of-network provider, which means we don’t bill insurance directly. Many clients still use their insurance: we’re happy to provide a superbill, an itemized receipt you can submit to your insurance company for possible partial reimbursement, depending on your out-of-network benefits. We recommend checking with your provider ahead of time so there are no surprises about what’s covered.
If cost is a concern, we also have a range of fees across our team, so please reach out. We’re often able to find an option that works.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Jenn Kennedy and her staff for several years. Dr. Jenn is incredibly insightful, warm, and genuinely cares about everyone she works with. She is an invaluable resource to our community and is incredibly generous with her time.
Having visited her office, I can say it is a truly healing space. Her entire team of professionals is friendly, helpful, and provides exceptional support here in the Santa Barbara area. I highly recommend Dr. Jenn and her practice!

Dr. Kennedy is incredibly insightful, kind, and authentic. I reached out to Riviera Therapy to inquire about interviewing her for an assignment and received a response from Dr. Kennedy herself within the same day. The amount of presence and knowledge she brought to our conversation speak to her skills not only as a clinician and in session but also as an active and informed voice contributing to societal discussions around sex, relationships, and embodiment. Whether you listen to her podcast or see Dr. Kennedy as a client - you're interacting with someone who walks the walk and talks the talk while inviting all of us to join on the journey and discussion with her. Check out Pleasure Project and don't hesitate to reach out to her - she's truly so approachable and warm. 🙂

I was a little nervous at first to come to a therapist's office, but the moment I stepped in, I immediately felt a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. Every therapist I encountered was friendly and made it easy for me to feel comfortable in the space. I would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking support!!

As someone very sensitive to energy, I can confidently say that the Riveria Therapy office has the most comforting vibe of any therapy office I have ever been in! While the office itself immediately makes you feel welcomed and accepted, the people are what make the place. Everyone I had the pleasure of interacting with was warm, kind, and inviting, and made me feel overwhelmingly comfortable and safe.

Jenn Kennedy came highly recommended as a couple's counselor by many people, and she did not disappoint. In fact, the hours spent in her office always exceeded our expectations, and sent us back out feeling loved by — and connected to — each other. Jenn is funny, smart, courageous — doesn’t take sides!!! — and is a terrific and trustworthy guide through the potentially tricky territory of sex as well. We now happily join those who recommended her to us.

Ever since my rough patch that I went through I have been seeing Jacquelyn who has been an amazing therapist and extremely professional. I always feel comfortable with her and sharing all of my feelings unlike some other therapists where I was scared of being judged. She is an amazing person who clearly cares and gives amazing advice whenever I need it and has made a significant impact on my life. Could not ask for better support from Riveria Therapy.

I attended a workshop with Dr. Jenn on female sexuality that was not only informative, but engaging. It helped me directly in my work with women professionals and couples. Additionally, she assisted me with some technical expertise I needed to make my practice more visible. Thank you so much Dr. Jenn!

Riviera Therapy is an amazing resource for those looking to heal. The office space is clean and beautiful, and the team there knows their stuff. I can't recommend Shannon Fennell enough for her work with couples, relationships, marriage, and those navigating adoption, infertility, and fostering.
