Suraya Keating

My communication style

I communicate with openness and curiosity and bring an attitude of a non-judgmental environment. I deeply value active listening and will give you lots of space to reflect on your experiences. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and kind. I also love offering gentle challenges when appropriate.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was born in Brooklyn and raised in a family shaped by mental illness and intergenerational trauma, experiences that deeply influenced my path. At age 20, a back injury became an unexpected turning point, prompting me to begin a profound journey of healing and self-discovery. I followed an inner call and set out on a journey of transformation.

My goals for you

I help clients achieve their goals through an attuned, compassionate, and collaborative approach that honors each person’s unique story and pace. Drawing from EMDR, somatic practices, parts work, and other integrative modalities, I tailor our work together to gently uncover and transform the underlying patterns/trauma that may be keeping you stuck.

Our first session

A first psychotherapy session with me is a warm, welcoming space where you can begin exactly as you are. I bring compassion, deep listening, and genuine curiosity as I take time to get to know you—your story, your experiences, and what you’re hoping to heal or transform. Together, we’ll begin to explore your goals and what therapy might look like.
