About Keith Kurlander

Questions & Answers

My path to psychotherapy was both personal and professional. I struggled with severe levels of mental health issues including Complex Trauma, Bipolar II, OCD, ADHD, and a number of other physical illnesses. I was propelled on a search at a very young age that started as a spiritual pursuit and, ultimately, found my healing through my own career as an integrative psychotherapist, and working with integrative psychiatrists as a patient.

I have a unique perspective as both a mental health professional and patient. I came across plenty of great providers over the years. Ultimately, I felt I needed to shift my career into focusing on systemic change with integrative models that include a larger focus on trauma.

I’ve always been an integrative practitioner for the last 20 years, but the toolkit and knowledge-base of what that means has changed. My skill set has grown over time to include a lot of the newer discoveries in research and emphasis on diet, gut health, brain functioning, trauma, and specific mindfulness techniques.

In my individual work, I mostly rely on coaching modalities now. I mostly focus on executives and others in influential positions that respond well to coaching techniques.

Generally speaking, people finally feel like they can make sense of a life-long puzzle they’ve been stuck in.
