At Keil Psych Group you can expect to have a real session with a real person. We anchor our work in honesty, genuineness, and compassion. As a whole, therapy helps people to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships, become free of old patterns, or simply find ways to process pain or memories that have kept them feeling stuck.
It is a healing process that allows people to not only start feeling better but gain insight, awareness, and ultimately begin trusting their intuition and experience. We help people to get in touch with themselves on deeper levels. Relationships are as capable of hurt and pain as they are for healing.

We have an incredible team here. In fact, we joined together as a team because of our shared love for psychotherapy and the art of providing quality psychotherapy. We are not the head-nodding, passive, always-in-agreement type. You can expect to be deeply understood, engaged, and cared for but you will also be challenged in many ways.
You did it. This is a big deal. So many people toggle back and forth with the idea of finding a psychologist and reaching out for help. They search, delete the search tab, search again, call but hang up - over and over, sometimes for years. It's an act of vulnerability to ask for professional help and society's stigma doesn't make it any easier.
Our approach is primarily psychodynamic. In other words, we believe that we are often mysteries to ourselves and a psychologist is skilled at uncovering deeper, root issues often suppressed from our conscious thought. People often have thoughts, feelings, and inner conflicts they may not be aware of but which can produce the experience of conscious anxiety.
Depression is one of the most challenging, yet one of the most common psychiatric disorders. Different from popular belief, it is not prolonged sadness. Sadness is a normal and expected part of being alive and human, depression is not. Depression is actually not an emotion, it is a state of mind in which emotions are being suppressed.
Those who have experienced trauma often report an aching sense that their real self and true capabilities are buried somewhere below the surface and yearn for the day when that person can come forth. For years, some find safety in the idea that others had it worse, but the reality is, what you experienced is real and its yours.

I have been in and out of therapy throughout my life, but my experience with Dr. Keil surpassed any other, because he taught me how to handle myself. I am so grateful for his wisdom, his kindness, his guidance and his patience. Often I think of a poem by Kahlil Gibran on Children, which states that parents are simply the bows and children the arrows. The bows guide the arrows, but once let go, the arrows choose the direction of their path. Dr. Keil, was my bow, and I feel at peace since I met him. I am truly grateful.

Dr. Keil is absolutely amazing at what he does. Not all therapists are created equal, however, he is truly in a class of his own. From someone who had never been to therapy before, I was very nervous about trying it, and even more skeptical if it could actually work for me. Dr. Keil has the amazing ability to quickly understand you and almost instantly begins to make you feel more comfortable with the idea that he can help, and you will feel better. He has been truly a miracle worker for me and has 100% changed my life for the better. Dr. Keil quickly became a trusted friend, and his point of view

I want to say thank you so much to Dr Keil and his team for helping save our family. I saw Dr Keil for individual and Dr Norm for family therapy. We spent about 4 months in therapy and the change we have all experienced together is day and night. We actually communicate now!!! Much love to the whole team, these guys are the real deal.

Dr. Keil has helped me so much over this past year. I struggled through depression, anxiety, and low self esteem. He has helped me overcome many obstacles in my life. I was nervous and worried when I went to my first session, but he was so easy to talk to and I felt like he understood me. I am so glad that I found him and if anyone is on the fence about going to therapy, I highly recommend Dr. Keil! He gave me the tools to thrive on my own. I cannot thank him enough for helping me!

Dr. Keil is maybe the best you can find!!! And I am really not just saying that for show. I had to write this review as someone who would not categorize themselves as a “therapy person”. My single experience with therapy a few years back was an attempt to try to help myself through an intense period of loss. Unfortunately, that experience ended up leaving me feeling like therapy was just kinda ok. I felt like it was nice to talk to someone but I didn’t really feel like there was a lot of depth to my appointments, more of just me talking and someone nodding their head at me. When I left therapy

Dr. Mitch changed my life! I came to him when I was in a really dark place and my family suggested therapy. I'm so glad I trusted the previous reviews left here, Mitch is warm, intelligent, and great at working through whatever I came to him with. The scope of different areas of my life that were positively impacted by him is honestly amazing. He helped me through the grief of losing loved ones as well as working through bad relationships. I can honestly say he is someone I would want any of my family or friends seeing for therapy. I am a better, stronger, more confident person after my time with

I can't say enough positive things about Dr. Keil! He's the best psychologist I've ever seen (and I have seen a LOT). He's helped me through so many issues... I used to think I was crazy, but Dr. Keil helped me realize that I'm not! He's super easy to talk to, and it doesn't hurt that he's easy on the eyes haha!
I would definitely recommend Dr. Keil if you're looking for a psychologist in the OC area.

I've been seeing Dr Keil for about 6 months now. He is an amazing therapist. Before seeing him, I had kind of given up on therapy and thought it didn't work. Dr Keil has completely changed my opinion on that. He is amazing at listening, but also incredibly wise and has endless advice for me when I need it. Most important thing I've noticed- he cares. He really cares about helping others and it's not just a job for him.

I was very uneasy about starting therapy in the first place, as I'm not the kind of person who particularly likes sharing my feelings. However, that all changed after my first encounter with Dr. Keil. What was most striking is that he truly listened to my problems and genuinely cared. I am under an incredible amount of stress in my career and Dr. Keil is always there to listen and help me work through it. I always leave my sessions feeling refreshed.
I cannot recommend the Keil Psychology Group enough. They are hands down the best in Orange County and I would refer all of my friends and family

I highly recommend Dr. K to anyone that is seeking to gain understanding about themselves with a caring and pragmatic person. He is purely focused on helping you heal and grow while also not being shy to challenge you to do so. While he does challenge you, he also gives you tools to develop.
I sought out therapy from Dr. Keil after a rough ending to a relationship in May 2019. It was difficult to process and control my thoughts at the time and I struggled with self-value. From day 1, Dr. K listened with intent and helped me focus on the things I could control such as understanding what happened

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Mitch has made some of the biggest, most influential and positive contributions to my life of anyone I have ever met. He is a skilled "listener" that takes the time to truly dig into the underlying root cause issue and collaboratively progress toward a resolution.
I've always been very skeptical and even critical of "therapy" in the past. Mitch has changed that perception and I could not be a more enthusiastic fan of the practice in general and Dr. Keil as a Practitioner.

To walk into Mitch's space is to be welcomed into a warm, safe place alive with every possibility to shed everything you are not and to evolve and become everything you really are and desire to be. His enormous heart is matched by his brilliant mind and great spirit. I highly value Mitch's feedback in my life.

Dr. Keil is the absolute best there is. I wish I could give him 10 stars instead of 5, because I would do that without hesitation.
It is hard to know where to begin...but here we go. I will try to keep this as short and to the point as possible! (because I could go on and on!)
When looking for a therapist, I wasn't sure where to start, but I was lead to Dr. Keil and I am forever grateful. I knew after the very first appointment that I found someone special, and was comforted in the way I felt leaving that first time. I felt safe and at peace that I was being heard by someone who cared deeply

Dr. Keil was extremely helpful in providing insight and tools to help me support myself in my situation. He was kind, a great listener and extremely intuitive. I would recommend him to anyone in need. He has great insight into dealing with adolescent issues. It is obvious how highly invested he is in his job to truly understand his patients and helping them.

I went to Dr Keil to save my marriage, but instead he saved and changed my life.
Before him, I had made and cancelled half a dozen appointments with other therapists because I was in fear of judgement, untrusting and unwilling to be vulnerable. We went to a spiritual medium instead, because it felt like a softer transition into the self-help world. In a short time, the medium realized we needed a more clinical approach to our deep rooted challenges and referred us to Dr Keil. Within a few sessions he had identified and opened my eyes to so many truths I had been ignorant to, or refusing to see

I'm not huge on therapy in the first place. Sure Freud was a genius and the science behind understanding our mood has improved a lot. But the risk of charlatans is just simply so high. and how would you know.
My previous brief experience with a therapist in Laguna, I felt manipulated right away.
My experience with Mitch was literally mind blowing. Practically he helped me through the most important work transitions of my career (think going from future partner of Mr Robot's E corp to start an Econ PhD at 41). In a very effective and rather short period of time he helped me restore my

Had been seeing Dr. Keil for months last year. I owe him a five stars review not because he's a good listener or a good doctor. He is your friend. Mitch gave me great advices when I was at my low. Advices not just made me feel better but made me think outside the box and actually changed my whole career.
If you ever struggling with your life or job, or any relationship issues, I'll definitely recommend Dr. Keil. Sometimes result won't come out immediately but time will tell you made a right choice by seeing him.
He's a great listener and awesome doctor btw.

Professionally, I’ve known Dr. Mitch Keil for years. He has a way of instantly connecting with people and making them feel at ease. This is particularly important when building relationships with clients. He works hard to ensure that his clients receive the best interventions for their presenting concerns. Dr. Keil also continues to build upon the education he’s received and stays up to date with the most current interventions/treatment options in his field. Highly recommend!
