I’m Keri Rusich, a licensed psychotherapist with over a decade of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families across a range of clinical settings. Before entering private practice, I worked and trained in community mental health, special education, pediatric psychiatry, and juvenile justice settings. These experiences have shaped my understanding of how our environments, relationships, and life experiences influence the way we see ourselves, connect with others, and navigate the world. This work has shaped my commitment to helping people better understand themselves, navigate life’s challenges, and create meaningful change.

I founded my practice to offer a personalized, accessible space where people can feel understood, supported, and empowered to move toward the changes they want to make. My own personal experiences have deepened my understanding of how our history shapes the way we see ourselves and move through the world. I bring this perspective into my work, helping clients approach different parts of themselves with curiosity and compassion, build greater self-understanding and acceptance, and discover new ways of responding to life’s challenges.

My approach is collaborative and individualized, drawing from a range of trauma-informed and cognitive-behavioral approaches. I believe therapy should be a safe space to be your truest self, reconnect with what matters to you, and create space for meaning and healing.

Having space for the things that help us recharge and feel connected to our core selves is important to me. When I’m not working, I’m most often spending time with my dog, diving into a good book, enjoying time outside in nature, catching up on reality TV, attending an event in the community, or connecting with loved ones.
