my treatment approach
Kathleen Keenan, PhD
about dr. keenan
I am passionate about helping individuals heal from trauma, reconnect with their inner strength, and live more joyful, authentic lives. Early in my career, I saw how emotional distress could shape both our minds and bodies, often going unaddressed. This sparked a lifelong commitment to understanding the deep connection between emotional and physical well-being.
Over time, I realized that trauma often lies at the root of many struggles with mood, relationships, and self-worth. Today, I specialize in individual therapy, drawing on my training in Internal Family Systems (IFS). IFS resonates deeply with my belief that each person has an undamaged, resilient Self at their core—calm, courageous, and compassionate. My work centers on helping clients access this Self, peel back layers of old conditioning, and discover new ways of living with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
I believe that everyone has an innate capacity for healing, and I consider it a joy and privilege to guide clients on their journey toward wholeness.
my specialties
Adults: Emotional healing and personal growth.
Trauma: Recovering resilience and inner strength.
Anxiety and Depression: Finding balance and relief.
Spirituality and Existential Issues: Exploring meaning and purpose.
Mind-Body Connection: Healing the link between emotions and the body.
Grief and Life Transitions: Navigating loss and change.

I integrate family systems to help people understand how they operate, identify old patterns that don’t serve them well anymore, and build skills for new paths with more options and connection.
