Elizbeth Keeney, LCSW

Elizbeth Keeney is an integrative psychotherapist licensed to practice in New York and New Jersey. Her work begins from a stance of curiosity - assuming no prior knowledge of a person’s life or how they make sense of their experiences - and builds through careful inquiry, attunement, and active involvement.

She focuses on identifying early interruptions in important interpersonal relationships and tracing how those experiences have shaped a person’s sense of self and their adult life. Such early relational misses often appear as depression, anxiety, compulsive behaviors, fears, or agitation, and can make it difficult to form and sustain healthy adult relationships.

Keeney offers empathic understanding combined with honesty and respect, creating a therapeutic space where defenses can be lowered, memories and feelings may be accessed, and different parts of experience can be processed and integrated. This approach reflects the ongoing process of integrative psychotherapy, which aims to help individuals become more fully themselves.

She is a Clinical Social Worker and holds the LCSW credential, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker and indicates specialized training and licensure in clinical social work. Keeney emphasizes continuous professional development and participates in workshops, seminars, and trainings to refine her skills and approaches.
