Keri Kitchen
Keri Kitchen, M.Ed., LPCC-S, NCC, is an author, mental health counselor, podcast host, business operations strategist, and lifelong creative problem-solver. With more than 20 years of experience in mental health, she writes at the intersection of faith, emotional health, and practical spiritual growth. She is the author of Six Keys to Spiritual Maturity: Breaking Free from Strongholds and Living in Victory and Learning to “Fear Not!”, and host of The Every Day Royalty Podcast.
Keri’s professional life has never fit neatly into one box. In addition to counseling and ministry, she has worked extensively in business operations, systems development, training, team leadership, and entrepreneurship—often serving as the person who takes a big-picture idea and figures out how to actually make it work. Across her work, a common thread emerges: bringing clarity to complexity and turning ideas into practical, usable solutions.
What Are Your Hobbies?
Creating things probably qualifies as both my work and my hobby. I love writing, designing puzzles and mysteries, dreaming up new projects, tinkering with websites and technology, and figuring out how to make complicated things work better. I also enjoy quieter things like reading, spending time with my family, and sitting on the porch with coffee. Apparently, I am constitutionally incapable of having only one creative project going at a time.
When and where do you like to write?
I’m not particular about when or where I write. I tend to write when an idea has taken hold and won’t leave me alone. Some of my writing grows out of quiet time with God—reading, journaling, thinking, and listening—and some of it comes from a recurring idea that suddenly turns into a project. Give me somewhere reasonably quiet, a computer, and probably some coffee, and I can work.
One Random Fact
I create escape rooms and mail-based mysteries for fun and for my children. Apparently writing books and being a therapist did not give my brain enough problems to solve, so I started inventing fictional crimes too.
One thing that makes you human?
Just one? I am absolutely human and don't mind embracing that, but one example is that the flip side of being creative is totally losing track of the time because I hyperfixate on the task at hand. I was once 30 minutes late picking up one of my children from academic team practice and missed the teacher's calls. She thought I died. I set multiple alarms moving forward.
