Tory Keyser, LISW, joined Optimae Behavioral Health’s central Iowa team of therapists in 2023. She brings a strong belief in the power of hope and renewing one’s mind to promote change in her work with clients.
Tory’s therapeutic focus is on helping individuals of all ages who are struggling with a variety of concerns, including depression, grief and loss, anxiety, PTSD, life transitions, health issues and stress. Therapy is viewed as a journey to enhance one’s life and relationships in the context of a safe place where one’s story and voice is heard. Client-centered care is utilized with trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and integrative, strength-based therapies.
In addition to counseling practice, Tory has worked as a medical social worker in hospice and home health care, dialysis/transplant and rehabilitation for veterans. Tory holds a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree, Bachelor of Arts degree and certificate in aging studies, all from the University of Iowa.
