Kristen Keathley Counseling, PC

About

I was drawn to the work of therapy because of my love of building, maintaining, and spending time in relationships. I saw this work as something that would give me the ability to do what I love most, talk with and listen to people all day. I get to learn about them, their stories, their perspectives on life and on the world. I get to support healing and repair of broken relationships (with self and others). I also am able to support individuals in moving on, separating from, and grieving relationships (with people, things, or behaviors) that are no longer serving them, and in some cases, causing harm. I get to support clients in discovering their relationship with the most authentic version of themselves and better understand protective parts that may block the light of the authentic self shining through.  

What an incredible opportunity and privilege I have to build relationships like this with my clients, to get to know who they are at their core, and to support and witness them attend to themselves and the relationships that matter most in their lives! 

Similar to my professional life, I love spending time in my personal life engaged in meaningful relationships.  I enjoy spending time with friends, family, and efforts to support the greater community. You can often find me on long walks, talks, hikes, and bike rides.  I have practiced yoga for over 20 years and incorporate much of this into my work with clients as well.  While traveling is certainly something I enjoy, I am a long-time resident of Asheville and enjoy adventuring outdoors in the WNC mountains with my son, Finn, and pup, Charlie.
