LCSW, 12 years of experience
My name is Marisol Keegan, LCSW, and I specialize in giving strength-based interventions and solution-focused trauma psychotherapy for adults (18+). I work with diverse groups, cultural competencies, beliefs, sexual orientations, and values. We work together as a team to help manage and reduce levels of distress. As an immigrant and a Latina professional, I have encountered similar experiences and want to assist you in meeting your needs.
In our first session, we will do an introduction, share about my practice and confidentiality, provide a biopsychosocial assessment of the factors that contribute to the problems, and explore the need to develop treatment goals.
I have worked with diverse populations in the last twelve years, including children, adults, families, and couples. During this time, I developed many evidence-based practices and coping skills that helped my clients reach their full potential.
I love to serve adults who have experienced traumatic experiences in their childhood or life transitions. My focus is to help those who have been suffering from PTSD symptoms, depression, and anxiety. If you are feeling stressed and overwhelmed, have low energy, body aches, are unable to concentrate, etc., and more importantly, are unable to enjoy time with your friends and family, I am here to help.
EMDR is a method that I have been using for about two years. This method uses bilateral movements that assist in processing small and big traumatic experiences, giving clients a sense of relief and gratification.
CBT interventions are one of the methods I have applied since I started my practice as a clinician. This modality helps clients change negative thoughts, feelings, and behavior by increasing their well-being and how they see themselves and the world around them.
MI modality has been implemented in my practice since grad school; I have worked with individuals and families to explore their motivation to change and find their path in life.
The strength-based approach has been in my practice for many years. Using this approach, clients can find their abilities, knowledge, and capacities rather than focus on their deficits or what they cannot do.
The psychodynamic approach is one of the methods since becoming a clinician; it connects the unconscious to the conscious and raises awareness to clients of their emotions and behaviors.
