About Keith R. Cherry, LMSW

Keith R. Cherry, LMSW, is a Licensed Master Social Worker based in Monroe, Michigan, and the founder of Sanctuary Behavioral HealthCare. With a deep commitment to both clinical excellence and Christian faith, Keith created Sanctuary to offer something he believes is too often missing in mental health care: a space where your whole self — including your faith — is welcomed and honored. "Finding your path in life can feel like a daunting task." If you are reading this, you have taken the scariest step forward in the process… reaching out! The therapeutic journey should not be one that is feared. It must be viewed as a process of hope, faith, trust, and inspiration. I look forward to partnering with you on this amazing journey towards help, healing, and confidence. As a life-long Christian and 30 plus years of experience, I promise to bring the gifts of Christ, therapeutic techniques, humor, and a gentle soul to our time together. I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches including but not limited to: Cognitive Behavioral, Internal Family systems, and Narrative psychology. I work with the adult population.  It has been my experience, that with a strong spiritual base, you can overcome even the largest of obstacles. I look forward to joining with you on your path towards emotional, social, mental and spiritual health.

"I believe healing is not just psychological — it is spiritual. Your faith is not a footnote in our work together; it is a foundation."

Keith's approach integrates evidence-based therapeutic methods with a Christ-centered perspective. He believes that healing is not just psychological — it is spiritual. Drawing on Scripture, prayer, and the wisdom of the Christian tradition alongside proven clinical techniques, Keith walks alongside his clients as they navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and the challenges of everyday life.

Sanctuary was founded with a vision to grow — to one day serve more individuals and families across Southeast Michigan and beyond. For now, Keith personally sees every client, ensuring that each person receives attentive, individualized care from someone who genuinely cares about their wellbeing.
