Sunnie Keck
LCSW
ART Trained Therapist
Hi there! I’m Sunnie. Here are a few things that bring me joy, in no particular order:
1. Watching someone’s eyes light up during a moment of insight.
2. The sound of water in pretty much any form.
3. A perfectly timed and well-used cuss word.
4. The mysteries of faith and spirituality.
5. Golden hour glowing through the trees.
6. Humor as a coping skill (because sometimes, what else can you do?).
7. Listening to my children giggle.
8. A really good book.
9. Live concerts.
10. Watching people discover the freedom to live more fully in alignment with their values and their truest selves.
A little about my approach to therapy:
My work is grounded primarily in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people develop a different relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward the life they want to live. I’m also continually amazed by the power of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and love incorporating it into my work whenever it’s appropriate for the client and their goals.
Over the years, I’ve drawn from a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I enjoy bringing these perspectives together to meet people where they are rather than expecting one approach to work for everyone.
Most of my career has been spent working with adults in mental health. I’ve also taught sociology at the college level, which only deepened my fascination with human behavior and the many experiences that shape who we are. Outside of therapy, I’m a John Maxwell Certified Speaker, Trainer, and Coach, and I’ve spent years helping women grow in confidence, navigate physical and mental challenges, and feel more at home in their lives.
At the heart of it all, I enjoy working with people who feel stuck in patterns they understand intellectually but can’t seem to change, who are carrying experiences from the past into the present, or who are ready to stop letting fear, self-doubt, or old stories dictate what comes next.

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
