Thoughtful psychiatry for people who are used to holding everything together

Care from someone who gets it

Headshot of Megan Kenny, DNP, PHMNP-BC founder of Harborlight Psychiatric

I'm Megan Kenny, DNP, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with 15+ years of experience across inpatient, PHP/IOP, outpatient, and telepsychiatry care. My practice is intentionally kept small, so patients work directly with me, not a rotating care team.

Appointments are never rushed. Treatment, including medication when appropriate, is built around how you actually live, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Harborlight Psychiatric is intentionally kept small so care can stay personal, responsive, and consistent. You'll work with the same clinician who knows your history and treatment plan, not a checklist of symptoms or a different provider each visit.

I currently see adults (18+) in Illinois. Initial evaluations can take place by telehealth or in person at my Chicago office. ADHD evaluations are the one exception: the first session is always in person in Chicago. Follow-up care is available by telehealth or in person. Telehealth is available to patients who are physically located in Illinois at the time of each appointment. Care in South Carolina and Florida is coming soon. Visit Locations for updates.

Your evaluation and ongoing care stay with the same provider, by telehealth or in person at my Chicago office. For every telehealth visit, including your first, you'll need to be physically located in Illinois at the time of the appointment. South Carolina and Florida are coming soon.

Seeking an ADHD evaluation? Your first session will need to be completed in person. An in-person visit is required before any controlled substance can be prescribed, and at least once a year after that.

Who I Help

You’re the person everyone else counts on.

From the outside, you’re keeping up. You’re meeting deadlines, showing up for others, and doing what needs to be done.

But lately, it may be taking more out of you.

Your focus isn’t as reliable as it used to be. Anxiety is becoming harder to quiet. You’re exhausted in a way that sleep doesn’t seem to fix, or you’re navigating a transition that has made everything feel less steady.

You can be capable, accomplished, and still need support.

At Harborlight Psychiatric, care begins by looking at the whole picture: your symptoms, health, responsibilities, relationships, and the pressures shaping how you feel. Together, we work toward a plan that is thoughtful, realistic, and built around your actual life.

A cozy living room with two green armchairs and a navy blue sofa with green and beige pillows. There's a small wooden coffee table with a potted plant and a coaster. Large windows with white roller shades let in natural light. The walls are painted light green, and there's a framed geometric art piece. A tall white lamp and various plants are also in the room.
Approach

Time to actually talk

60–120 minute initial evaluations and thoughtful follow-ups, not a rushed med check.

Whole-person, not symptom-first

Care that looks beyond symptoms to the sleep, stress, and daily-life factors shaping how you feel.
