Keystone Acres
Child and Family Counseling

We are committed to helping individuals, couples, and families find what they need for strength, healing, and wholeness.   

A keystone is the wedge-shaped stone at the top of an arch. It is the final piece which locks all the building stones into position, allowing the arch to bear weight.  If the keystone is not in place the structure cannot stand. 

We are committed to helping those we serve:

• Identify the building stones that form their lives and address ways to polish, reshape, replace, and appreciate those stones.

• Establish keystones that help them find completeness; enable them to bear emotional weight; and empower them to stand strong into the future.
