About Sunrise Courage Counseling

My Mission

My mission as a person-centered, trauma-informed counselor is to create a safe, compassionate, and empowering environment where individuals can process their experiences, build resilience, and reclaim a sense of control and self-worth.

Utilizing evidence-based approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Animal-Assisted Play Therapy, and Experiential Play Therapy, I am committed to tailoring interventions to each client's unique needs.

I aim to foster healing, promote emotional regulation, and support individuals — especially those impacted by trauma — in achieving lasting growth and well-being.

Meet Tabatha

Tabatha Keefer, M.A., LPC, NCC

I'm so glad you're here. I believe that healing begins with feeling safe, understood, and accepted. Life can bring unexpected challenges, and asking for help is often one of the bravest steps a person can take.

My goal is to create a warm, compassionate, and supportive environment where you can be yourself without fear of judgment. As the founder of Sunrise Courage Counseling, I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, behavioral concerns, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

I believe every person has a unique story, which is why I tailor therapy to meet your individual needs, strengths, and goals. My approach is person-centered and incorporates evidence-based practices to help clients develop lasting skills while discovering hope and resilience.

I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of the Cumberlands, graduating with a 4.0 GPA. Since 2020, I have worked in private practice counseling, and in June 2025 I fulfilled a long-held dream by opening Sunrise Courage Counseling.

Outside of the counseling office, I enjoy spending time in the great outdoors — riding horses, camping, fishing, hiking, tending my garden, and playing the violin. These activities help me stay grounded and remind me that growth often happens one step at a time.

Whether you're seeking support for yourself, your child, or your family, I would be honored to walk alongside you. Together, we can build on your strengths, navigate life's obstacles, and work toward a future filled with hope, resilience, and renewed confidence.
