Keanu M. Jackson (he/him), is a charismatic and thoughtful queer, Black psychotherapist, educator, and visionary based in Brooklyn, NY who earned his Master’s of Social Work degree from Columbia University. Being raised in the historic Fort Pierce, FL, Keanu’s introduction into liberation work came as a result of him struggling to locate language and spaces that allowed him to feel seen, heard, understood, and cared for.

At the forefront of his work is an emphasis on bodily autonomy, agency, and expression as necessary components for healing and liberation. Keanu believes that the body is a sacred entity that houses the many intricate pieces of the core self that work in tandem to offer room for empowerment and self-acceptance. As a survivor of sexual trauma and ongoing anti-Black racism and violence, Keanu practices radical joy and play interwoven with a tender gratitude towards the self that he wishes to share with others.

Within his therapy sessions, Keanu invites his clients to channel this gratitude as a means to grant themselves permission to slow down and tend to the body’s needs. During his workshops, he highlights the importance of community as a conduit for nurturing shared understanding and inciting action. To him, we each have rich personal narratives that deserve to be protected and preserved as mantras of our undeniable worth. This aside, Keanu is a fun-loving, witty, sex & kink-positive force of nature who knows a bit too much about cartoons, and loves to frolic in the park with a lavender latte in tow.
