Getting to know Stephen Keenan
Hi there, I'm Stephen!
Hello. My name is Stephen Keenan. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in CA and a blackbelt. I earned my Master's in Social Work from California State University, Sacramento. This is not about me though... This is about you getting the help you need through a client-centered approach that will be tailored toward you reaching your goals in treatment.
My approach
I use a humanistic, strengths-based, supportive therapy approach for solution-focused results. Of course, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is key to reframing and seeing things from a different lens. For example, last week a client said, "I never thought of it that way," and was more at ease by the end of our first session.
My focus
I have spent many years in mental health in Richmond, Oakland, Stockton, and Sacramento areas working in private and county shelters, crisis residentials, inpatient psych units, and outpatient day treatment providing case management, groups, and individual therapy. I have six years of medical experience at UCDAVIS in the ED on weekends, where I saw trauma, medical, and psychiatric patients with detainment privileges to initiate 5150s. I have worked with poverty-stricken to affluent clients; depressed and suicidal to angry and homicidal; geriatric to pediatric. I am confident we can come up with options to address what you are specifically seeking help with, and if the situation is beyond us, I will re-refer you to the appropriate party.
My communication style
Firstly, I am not here to judge but to help. I'm pretty laid back but very direct. I will ask a lot of questions to target the areas of concern, allow you to clarify your treatment goals, and what you want to accomplish by treatment's end. We will see what we can do in weekly sessions, generally from 3 to 6 months, as needed. We bolster what is working and cut down what isn't.
