She joined the obstetrics and gynecology faculty at MUSC, continuing general OB/GYN care, while she received her mental healthcare training within the department of psychiatry, specifically with the Women's Reproductive and Behavioral Health team of Reproductive Psychiatrists. 

Fellowship training in reproductive psychiatry allowed Dr. Kennedy to expand her practice scope to include treatment of reproductive mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma and stress-related conditions, and substance use disorders. She has a special interest in methods to prevent and reduce the impacts of trauma during the reproductive years. After fellowship graduation, she brought her expertise back to Oakland Macomb Obstetrics and Gynecology and is excited to continue to provide obstetrics and gynecology care to women, as well as care for patients at the Oakland Macomb Perinatal Mental Health office.
