Anne Keen

Welcome! My name is Anne Keen, and I am a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern (IMH25916) dedicated to helping you navigate life's challenges. I specialize in anxiety, complex trauma, relationship issues, and men's issues. My goal is for you to leave therapy with a deeper understanding of yourself, a greater sense of inner peace, and the confidence to live a life aligned with your values and beliefs. Clinical Specialties: - Anxiety & depression - Complex trauma - Attachment & relationship wounds - Relationship & marriage counseling - Codependency - Self-Esteem & Self-Acceptance - Identity Exploration & Development How I Can Help: I specialize in working with teenagers and adults as they navigate significant life stages and develop their identities. Additionally, I work with couples and families to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen their relationships. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, people-pleasing tendencies, or understanding who you are, you're not alone. Understanding Your Journey: Trauma doesn’t always stem from a tragic event; it can come from everyday experiences that leave lasting impacts. Many people don’t realize that trauma can show up in different ways, such as persistent anxiety, relationship difficulties, feeling numb and disconnected, or chronic feelings of shame. Trauma can result from various experiences, including childhood neglect, emotional abuse, witnessing a traumatic event, bullying, parental divorce, and so much more. Recognizing these signs is the first step toward healing, and I’m here to guide you through that process. Your Therapy Experience: I use a holistic approach to therapy, integrating trauma-informed and culturally sensitive methods tailored to each individual's needs. When working with trauma, my priority is to help you feel safe within your own body and mind. Together, we will focus on understanding your body's signals and developing coping skills and somatic interventions to navigate stressful situations. This process will build resilience and trust in yourself. We will explore your past experiences together, considering your unique identities, to address the root causes of your symptoms. My approach is client-centered, meaning we will focus on what feels most important to you. While I will guide you toward areas that might be beneficial to explore, I believe that you are the expert on your own life. I use a compassionate approach to help you understand your experiences, sometimes challenging you to confront self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviors. I believe it's important to move at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for you, ensuring a personalized therapeutic approach. Get in Touch: You deserve to live a life free from overwhelming shame and guilt. I strive to create a therapeutic space where you feel safe and heard. Whether you're considering therapy for yourself or your child, I would be honored to provide my support and guidance through this journey of growth and healing.
