Hi! I'm Dan Keusal. For more than 16 years, I've been serving individuals and couples as a counselor and astrologer in Seattle, WA.
My work stems from a deep commitment to supporting the unique journeys of those I serve. I provide a broad, holistic, approach that draws on psychology, spirituality, astrology, and the arts: disciplines I refer to as "cousins in soul-making."
Here is a bit of my own journey:
I hold a masters degree in Marriage & Family Therapy from Seattle Pacific University; as part of that degree I earned a Certificate from the Marriage & Therapy Training Center at what was then Presbyterian Counseling Service (now Samaritan Center of Puget Sound). I am a Washington State Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (License #LF 0000 1195). I have also studied Analytical (Jungian) Psychology at the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago.
In addition to more than 16 years in private practice, I have worked in several counseling agencies, and at a hospital that specialized in treating people with psychiatric and chemical dependency (drug & alcohol) issues.
I was elected President of the Seattle Counselors Association in 2006, and served on the SCA Board of Directors in various capacities for three years.
I hold a degree in Theology from the University of Notre Dame, and have done graduate theological studies at St. Michael's College in Vermont and at Georgetown University. I also completed basic training in shamanism with The Foundation for Shamanic Studies.
After two years of training with Seattle-area astrologers Sheila Belanger and Laura Nalbandian, I completed a five year apprenticeship with Steven Forrest, an internationally respected astrologer, author, and teacher.
In order to continue growing professionally, I regularly attend workshops, seminars, and classes on a wide variety of topics, I consult with peers and other professionals, I read, and I attend to my personal growth.
For more than 20 years, I have led workshops on personal development, spirituality, astrology, and other topics. By integrating practical examples with stories, humor, and the arts, I work to make complex ideas accessible, speaking to both the heart and the head. I have presented to a wide variety of organizations, including Microsoft, Seattle University, The Northwest Astrological Conference, and dozens of other churches, businesses, and community groups.

I bring to my work a passionate love for the arts, and an appreciation for their power to animate, deepen, and enrich our lives. I am a musician and a photographer, and a devoted student of film and poetry.
In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis (for which I have some aptitude), watching baseball games (those who can do, those who can't sit in the bleachers!), cooking, hiking, and enjoying the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
