Mary E. Keathley

Are you or a loved one struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or questions about faith? Life can feel overwhelming at times, but you don't have to walk through it alone. My desire is to provide a safe, compassionate space where healing, growth, and hope can flourish. My counseling approach is informed by both sound clinical practices and my Christian worldview. I recognize that clients come from many different faith traditions and belief systems. Spiritual discussions, prayer, Scripture, or other faith-based interventions will only be incorporated into counseling at the client's request or with the client's informed consent and when clinically appropriate to the client's counseling goals. My role is not to pressure clients to adopt my personal beliefs or religious practices. Rather, I seek to provide ethical, evidence-informed counseling while honoring each client's autonomy, values, and treatment goals. Clients are welcome to discuss spiritual matters as much or as little as they desire throughout the counseling process. I believe that genuine hope, grace, forgiveness, wisdom, and lasting transformation are ultimately found in God through Jesus Christ. It is my privilege to walk alongside clients with humility, compassion, and respect as they pursue healing, growth, and wellness. Faith-Based Counseling Disclosure: Counseling services are provided in accordance with the ethical standards of the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council (BHEC), the Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors, and applicable state and federal laws. Faith-based interventions—including prayer, Scripture, or discussion of spiritual matters—are incorporated only with the client's informed consent and when appropriate to the client's counseling goals. Clients are free to decline any faith-based intervention at any time without affecting the quality of care they receive. In addition to counseling, I have several years of experience as an EMT-B, Teacher, and in other mental/behavioral health settings. My husband and I have two daughters, and we enjoy spending time together working in our yard, watching our favorite TV shows, and playing games. We also enjoy spending time with our extended family and friends. "Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope".
