Nenette Keenan

As a licensed therapist, I work with individual adults and families to address an array of presenting issues, Examples of these are, yet not not limited to: problems in relationships, chronic pain/medical issues, poor self image, anxiety, the presence and/or memory of traumatic events such as abuse, neglect, or an unexpected tragedy or loss. Other examples might include an inability to make decisions, perfectionism, stress related to employment or lack there of, and fear-based thinking. Throughout therapy, we’ll focus on emotional disturbances, negative self-talk, and problematic relationships, within the context of yourself, your family, and community based systems. Through this process, an awareness of what hinders emotional balance emerges, as does an increase in self-love. Negative patterns in relationships, and with oneself, are revealed and released to create room for positive changes. Trust, emotional safety, and non-judgement are the heart of my practice, as all are crucial for your success in therapy. In an open and relaxed environment, I collaborate with you to create goals for therapy via an adaptable, ‘therapy map,’ for us to reference during your journey. It is uniquely tailored (and amended as needed) to align with your personality and your unique vision of peace within yourself and in your relationships. I blend Eco-Systemic and Internal Family Systems (IFS) approaches, which means that I emphasize and encourage awareness of your relationship with yourself, and with immediate family, within a larger social context. The therapeutic blueprint for your ‘therapy map’ is then created. Depending upon your personality, circumstances and learning style, I apply techniques from varying evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Somatic Expression, Mindfulness, Structural Family Therapy, Art Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and EMDR.
