Steven Keller

Pattty and Steve Keller, with Bella

We have been married for 37 years and raised two boys who are now on their own. Coming from generations of divorce, we had a lot of uncertainty about making our marriage last when we started out. We both come from families plagued by domestic violence, addiction, and abuse. We have weathered our own challenges as a couple, including working through childhood trauma, learning to trust each other, overcoming co-dependency, raising a son with disability, and working through infidelity, job loss, and severe depression. Through navigating these challenges, we have seen the power of both hurt and healing through our relationship.

We love to work with couples and families struggling with their relationships from a whole-person perspective. We embrace the theory that each person is unique and valuable, worthy to be treated with dignity and respect. We believe heart-centered encounters create meaningful, authentic experiences, opening the pathway for healing and lasting change to occur. Our own background is based in Christian faith, but we are welcoming to persons of all faiths or secular perspectives non-judgmentally. We are both trained in Prepare/Enrich and are Certified Grief Recovery Specialists with the Grief Recovery Institute ®. We love working together to restore/enrich relationships because we each bring a unique viewpoint along with a complimentary skill set, including the ability for Patty to medically address accompanying physical symptoms under her Fall River Wellness medical practice. Nothing brings us more joy than seeing relationships healed and individuals restored to hope for a better life through lasting change.

Personally, we love our beautiful mountain surroundings, walking into town from our house along the path along Fall River with Bella, watching the wildlife, entertaining friends in our mountain retreat home and home-office, attending church together, going to movies, reading, riding our bicycles, eating out, cooking together, vacationing on the beach boogie boarding, and spending time with our grown children.
