In his practice, he works with a wide range of mental health issues including anxiety, depression, addictions and even the more complex thought disorders. Dr. Keating is unique in his holistic approach to healing, seeking less invasive methods such as attempting to liberate patients from conflict using psychodynamic techniques. This blend of psychiatric and psychological intervention sets Dr. Keating apart from his contemporaries. He is understanding and non-judgmental in his clinical practice. He takes time in knowing his patients and joins with them to develop a comprehensive plan to improve and sustain optimal health.

He encourages insight and authenticity for those in pursuit of personal growth.
