About Steven Keene

I’ve always believed that business is more than numbers. It’s human. It’s emotional.When things feel misaligned, it doesn’t just show up in the bottom line—it shows up in burnout, doubt, conflict, and disconnection.For over 40 years, I’ve worked with founders, professionals, and teams to bring structure, insight, and strategic clarity to their organizations. We founded Keene and Keene to help people and businesses align their financial systems, operational structures, and human dynamics—so they can operate with both purpose and profit.That same commitment to human impact led my wife and me to co-found ReNewNM Therapy, a clinic focused on emotional wellness for individuals, couples, and professionals.Through that work, we kept encountering a deeper theme:Even highly capable, educated people carry a quiet undercurrent of anxiety around money. The issue wasn’t intelligence—it was the emotional weight behind the decisions.This insight led us to expand our focus to include financial therapy—integrating the emotional side of money into the way we support individuals and organizations. My wife, a CPA and New Mexico’s first Certified Financial Therapist™, leads this powerful work.We now offer financial therapy through Keene and Keene, where we help people explore the patterns behind their financial decisions—so they can lead and live with greater clarity, confidence, and connection.Whether guiding a business through complexity or walking with someone toward financial self-trust, I bring strategy, structure, and empathy. I help people see the full picture—not just what the spreadsheet says, but what their choices say about their values, vision, and capacity. Learn more about our
