Getting to know Dr. William Keating
I am a clinical psychologist with 35+ years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families build the tools they need to navigate life's challenges. Together, we work to identify unhelpful patterns in thinking, feeling, and behavior — and replace them with new ways of responding that lead to better outcomes for you and the people in your life.
My approach is collaborative. We focus on what matters most to you: managing stress and anxiety, overcoming loneliness or fear of abandonment, building stronger relationships, and resolving conflict. The goal is not just symptom relief — it's lasting change. A genuine sense of well-being. Thinking more clearly, feeling better, and living the life you want to live.
In addition to clinical work, I offer life enhancement coaching for those looking to thrive beyond their challenges. This work focuses on developing balance, identifying personal strengths, and optimizing performance in the areas of life that matter most to you.

A Little About Me
Outside of my practice, I am deeply engaged in the lives of my three adult children and my four grandchildren — Kate, Ryan, Patrick, and Mary. I volunteer with a food bank ministry and support charitable initiatives for mothers and children in my community.
I try to practice in my own life what we work on together — carving out quiet time to read and reflect, and showing up fully for family, friends, and colleagues each day. Some days are better than others. I'm working at it.

What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit
for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want
to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be
that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you
and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals
and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you
will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear
understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to
trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also
important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important
to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as
exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be
willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different
techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important
to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
