Cameron Keirnes
Meet Cameron Keirnes
LMFT
Cameron Keirnes is a compassionate and experienced Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, families, and professionals in their personal and relational growth. A graduate of Fuller Theological Seminary, Cameron brings a deep understanding of human development, relationships, and emotional well-being. Utilizing his extensive experience working with children with developmental differences, adolescents, and adults navigating complex life challenges, Cameron takes a holistic and strengths-based approach to therapy. As a DIRFloortime®-certified clinician, he specializes in working with neurodiverse individuals, helping clients and their families foster deeper connections and self-understanding.
Cameron is deeply passionate about helping people make authentic, self-directed decisions that align with their strengths, passions, and values. He recognizes that many of the patterns we develop—often beginning in early childhood—can lead us to make choices based on fear, shame, or guilt. These unconscious patterns can create turmoil, keeping us stuck in cycles of distress and dissatisfaction. Through a warm and collaborative therapeutic relationship, Cameron partners with clients to uncover and transform these patterns, empowering them to create lives rooted in self-awareness, confidence, and freedom.
Whether working with individuals seeking personal growth, couples striving for deeper connection, or families navigating developmental challenges, Cameron provides a safe and supportive space for exploration and change. His goal is to help clients cultivate resilience, authenticity, and meaningful relationships, allowing them to move forward with clarity and purpose. If you are looking for a therapist who will walk alongside you on your journey toward greater self-discovery and emotional well-being, Cameron is here to help.

Bryce Matteson
Meet Bryce Matteson
Counseling Intern
Bryce Matteson works with adults, teens, children, and couples navigating anxiety, depression, shame, relationship stress, and patterns that feel difficult to change alone. He especially enjoys working with clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the people around them, helping them make sense of how they got there and begin finding a way forward.
Bryce’s counseling style is warm, collaborative, and thoughtful. He helps clients slow down and become more aware of what is happening beneath the surface: the emotions and beliefs they carry, the protective strategies that once helped them cope but may now be getting in the way, and the ways early relationships can shape how they connect with others today. Together, Bryce and his clients approach what surfaces with honesty and self-compassion, making room for difficult feelings rather than fighting against them.
From that awareness, Bryce supports clients in actively shaping who they want to become. The work moves toward greater clarity about what matters most, stronger emotional resilience, healthier relationships, and a life that feels more genuinely their own.
