Ryan Keene
Hi! California and Arizona licensed therapist (LMFT, LPCC) with a holistic approach. I received two Masters degrees in Psychology, and have been working for 10 years in the mental health field–8 years in clinical practice.
As an integrative therapist, my greatest strengths and offerings are being a good listener, having empathy, understanding your different sides, and supporting or exploring your intentions and life purpose.
I have supported clients in all areas such as: processing and understanding emotions, identity exploration, personal/soul growth, goal-setting, overcoming and understanding addictions, spiritual support, developing healthy boundaries, processing and healing from grief and loss, career challenges, religious trauma, cultural trauma, LGBTQ+ affirming care, shadow-work, dream-work, etc.
First session
In our first session together, we'll start with introductions and gathering information, as well as learning more about what brings you to therapy. This will help me understand your goals better and how to approach our follow-up sessions.
Strengths
As a therapist, my greatest strengths and offerings are being a good listener, understanding how to work with conflicting parts of ourselves, exploring meaning and purpose. This includes many approaches such as bringing awareness to unconscious behaviors, noticing how past events, stories, and beliefs affect present reactions, and supporting the development of skills to move toward who and what is most important.
Treatment methods
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Emotions are connected to our most essential needs. They rapidly alert us to situations important to our well-being, by giving us information about what is good and bad for us by evaluating whether our needs are being met. They also prepare and guide us in these important situations to take action toward meeting our needs. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) helps you pay attention to your emotions and notice what they’re telling you. You’ll explore where those feelings come from and how they show up in your life. EFT leads therapist and client toward strategies that promotes the awareness, acceptance, expression, utilization, regulation, and transformation of emotion. The goals of EFT are strengthening the self, processing emotions, and creating meaning out of the emotion.
Jungian
Jungian therapy, also known as depth psychology, focuses on exploring the unconscious, often using dreams, symbols, myth, spirituality, and archetypes to help individuals understand their inner world. This depth psychology focuses on the concept of individuation-a process of becoming whole, self-discovery, and integrating aspects of the self, including repressed or rejected parts. This approach uses talk therapy, shadow work, movies, stories, images, dream work, imagination, spirituality, visual imagery, etc, to help clients achieve healing, balance, and growth. This can also be seen as a practice of guiding clients towards individual development by creating a stronger relationship to the unconscious.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a form of psychotherapy that combines mindfulness and behavioral strategies to help individuals live a more meaningful and value based life. We look at who and what is important, and explore action steps to move toward them.
