Audrey Keaney, MA, PhDc

My approach is collaborative and relational, and varies based on your specific needs and pace. My therapeutic background is grounded in a depth perspective, emphasizing somatic, psychodynamic, and Jungian theories, while bringing in mindfulness, parts work, and mind-body practices. As a depth-oriented therapist, I orient to the unconscious, those aspects of experience and suffering that are not always known to conscious awareness. Together we may explore the unconscious through dreams, fantasies, body sensations, thoughts, and feelings. I draw from psychodynamic approaches, which emphasize how past experiences and relationships shape our present reality. I value the importance of relating to the patient as a whole person, appreciating the complexity of the mind and the multiplicity of the psyche. Supervised by Jennifer Christian, Psy.D PSY30295.

**I offer a sliding scale for those in financial need.

Psychotherapy Services

The therapeutic relationship is a powerful place for significant growth, change & meaning. My aim as a therapist is to offer you a space where you can freely express and feel, while moving towards a deeper engagement with your inner and outer worlds. My clients seek support for concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, sexuality, intimacy, spirituality, as well as psychedelic integration and preparation. As your therapist, I will meet you with curiosity and compassion, we will slow down together and explore your depths to bring to consciousness the things that may be obstructing your path forward.

I view the client-therapist relationship as sacred, requiring compatibility and trust, and it is deeply important to me that you feel respected and cared for throughout this important work. If you are seeking therapy, I’d love to learn more about you and see how I can best support you. I’m deeply committed to this work and I look forward to meeting you.
