Hello, and welcome to Today Has Purpose. I’m David Keys, and I founded this practice in order to provide comprehensive, high-quality clinical psychotherapy to Pittsburgh, and surrounding areas. I believe that therapy should be inclusive, individualized, and grounded in evidence-based practice. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I have worked extensively with diverse populations across a range of clinical settings. My approach integrates several therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Informed Care, and Psychodynamic oriented approaches such as Attachment Theory. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and hold the distinction of being an EMDRIA Certified Therapist, recognized internationally as the gold standard in EMDR training and certification.

I am honored to hold the Board Certified Diplomate in Clinical Social Work (BCD), a distinction awarded by the American Board of Clinical Social Work to recognize advanced clinical skill, ethical integrity, and dedication to the highest standards of care. This credential reflects not only years of experience and training, but also a deep commitment to the people I serve. At Today Has Purpose, it is a privilege to walk alongside individuals in their healing and growth, and this certification reinforces my ongoing dedication to that work.

In addition to my clinical background, I earned a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Robert Morris University, which enhances my ability to think systemically and support clients navigating professional or organizational challenges. I am currently pursuing advanced training in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic theory through various psychoanalytic communities and am completing a Certification in Organizational Dynamics, Leadership, and Consulting at the Institute for Modern Psychoanalysis in Philadelphia (formerly the Philadelphia School of Psychoanalysis).

At Today Has Purpose, our team brings together decades of combined clinical experience. We are committed to creating a safe, respectful, and empowering environment where every client feels seen, heard, and supported. Whether you are returning to therapy or seeking support for the first time, we welcome you. Our mission is to help you reconnect with your values, realize your potential, and approach each day with renewed purpose.
