About Keith Gaertner (He/Him)

Keith Gaertner, LPC, helps adults and older adults across Wisconsin navigate complex mental health challenges with practical strategies, compassion, and clinical expertise. Through individual therapy at LifeStance Health, he supports patients in building resilience, improving emotional regulation, and creating meaningful, sustainable change. His approach emphasizes collaboration, helping each person feel heard and empowered while addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder, along with additional conditions. His clinical approach incorporates evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), while also offering additional therapeutic modalities tailored to everyone’s needs. With over two decades of experience in mental health care since 2001, Keith brings a steady, grounded presence to therapy. He enjoys connecting with patients in a way that feels both supportive and solution-focused, helping them navigate life transitions and personal challenges with greater clarity and confidence. Outside of his clinical work, Keith values spending time with his family, often attending his daughter’s volleyball tournaments. He also enjoys staying active through bike riding and playing tennis.
