My name is Marisol Keegan, LCSW. I provide strength-based, solution-focused trauma psychotherapy for adults (18+). I work with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, beliefs, sexual orientations, and value systems, and I approach therapy as a collaborative partnership where we work together to reduce distress and build resilience. As an immigrant and Latina professional, I bring both personal understanding and professional insight to my work.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
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.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My goal is to create a supportive, culturally responsive space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to address your needs. Over the past twelve years, I have worked with a wide range of populations, including children, adults, families, and couples. Throughout this experience, I have incorporated evidence-based practices and practical coping strategies to help clients grow, heal, and reach their full potential
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I am especially passionate about supporting adults who have experienced childhood trauma or are navigating major life transitions. My focus is helping individuals struggling with PTSD symptoms, depression, and anxiety. If you are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, low on energy, experiencing physical tension or body aches, having difficulty concentrating, or finding it hard to enjoy time with friends and family, you don’t have to face it alone—I’m here to help.
EMDR
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.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
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.
Motivational Interviewing
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.
Strength-Based
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.
Psychodynamic
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.
