We are a carefully selected team of practitioners who share a deep passion for serving our local community in extraordinary ways. Each therapist is hand picked based on whether or not we would trust referring a family member or friend to them. That’s it.

As a result, you can trust that every provider is highly trained, uniquely gifted, and genuinely invested in getting to know you and understanding your story. We believe meaningful healing begins within authentic relationships, and we are honored to walk alongside you as you navigate life's challenges, discover your strengths, and move toward greater wholeness.

Message from the founder, Dr. Keith Louwerse, Psy.D.

As far back as I can remember, I have been drawn to helping people and strengthening relationships. Over the years, I discovered that authentic connection has the power to transform lives in transcendent ways.

At the same time, I recognized a gap within the field of psychology—a tendency to focus on symptoms while overlooking the whole person. Too often, behavioral health care lacked the holistic approach needed for lasting growth and healing.

Headwaters Counseling was born from a desire to change that. Our mission is to walk alongside individuals, couples, and families with compassion, curiosity, and purpose as they navigate life's challenges and opportunities.

I invite you to dare. To become curious again. To follow the headwaters back to the source and discover who you were created to be.

We're honored to be part of that journey.
