Keith Engel, a retired Naval Officer and founder and CEO of Engel Haus and Mind Meld Psychotherapy (MMP), where he works as a Clinical Social Worker. Keith graduate from Texas A&M University-Commerce and University of Southern California.
Keith identifies as cis-gender gay man and has experience with the military and community services providing high quality care and support to people who are socially excluded or who are experiencing problems in their lives. Such as those who are part of the LGBTQI+ community, high risk patients (chronic suicidality & substance use), and providing care to adolescents, adults, and groups.
Mental Health issues arise when we are faced with overwhelming emotions in isolation. Without the necessary support, emotions get so big and daunting that we defend ourselves against them, leading to numbness, anxiety, and depression. Keith’s goal is to invite intense emotions into the room so that you can learn to regulate them together and they can be reincorporated into the psyche, leading to a fuller and healthier life.
