Keith Chilton
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)
About Keith
I am a family and marriage therapist licensed in California with over 25 years of experience as a caring witness working with youth, adults, couples, and families to help them increase their ability to balance personal motivations with social and relationship challenges. As a passionate and curious learner, I embrace a “each one teach one” and “it takes a village” counseling style.
I have had the honor and blessing of a few caring witnesses in my life. I pledge my life’s work to pass on the attentive sense of care that was instilled in me. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life. If you are ready to take that step toward change, I am ready to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you.

What clients say
- “Keith is very good at guiding the conversation so when you are letting out everything that brought you to a counceling session you dont feel stuck in mire of the feelings. He councelings in a way that hears you while being a lifeline back to today. Its really helpful to have his gentle guidance to work through everything while it feels like I'm just venting he is orchestrating it in a productive direction the whole time. He is also very on the spot with resources. I would recommend him to anyone who truly wants to be better. He will have everything you need and support you to truly recover.”
