Getting to know Michael Keesey

work from a person centered and CBT lens to figure out what is not working, why it is not working and to support you to make different choices. Lets throw out those self defeating thoughts and maladaptive patterns. Now is the best time for change and I am here to support and motivate you towards your goals.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I graduated from Saint Mary’s College of CA with a Master in Marriage family therapy, Career, and College counseling. I served as a counselor intern providing community based mental health services to the local community. I also previously worked in higher education for twelve years. Providing administrative and counseling services to local community college students from a range of diverse backgrounds. I practice a person-centered approach to counseling while incorporating psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral based modalities into my therapeutic practice. I am especially passionate about expanding mental health access and education to men providing a safe space for them heal and grow.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My ideal client struggles with low self-esteem, self-doubt, and negative self-talk, often rooted in past experiences. These internal blocks keep them from reaching their potential in personal, professional, or creative areas. They deeply desire to feel empowered, build confidence, and take meaningful action toward their goals. They seek support to overcome limiting beliefs, develop resilience, and create a life they feel proud of—one where they trust themselves and feel in control.
