Keith Cantrell, LPC

Keith has a passion for working with adolescents and adults using an integrative approach that is tailored specifically to the client’s needs and current challenges. He recognizes that clients are experts on themselves and partners with them to create strategies that resonate with who they are and what makes sense to them. He believes that creating an environment that is respectful of client autonomy and agency in every step of the therapeutic process is critical to facilitating change.

Keith’s therapeutic style is warm, authentic, compassionate, fun, and non-judgmental. As a self-identified geek, he loves incorporating aspects of geek culture into therapeutic work if it makes sense for the client. He believes that everyone is capable of change and exploring what that means for each client is one of the most important aspects of his work. He uses humor and metaphors in session and is a very straight forward, authentic therapist that provides a safe space for his clients to be authentically themselves.

Keith focuses on issues such as life transitions, grief and loss, sexuality, LGBTQIA+ issues, trauma, and relationship challenges. Keith is EMDR trained and pulls from multiple theoretical orientations in his work, often using techniques from cognitive-behavioral (CBT), Mindfulness, Person Centered, and ACT therapy. He is a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and approaches his work from a sex positive and kink/poly aware perspective.
