About me

Hi! My name is Kiara and I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Virginia. I have about 8 years of experience working with a variety of populations but I especially like working with youth and young adults. My experience is primarily in community mental health, so I’m all about coordinating care with other professionals to address the whole person. My favorite part about being a therapist is uncovering the light at the end of the tunnel along with my clients, and assuring them that there’s always hope.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we’ll talk through any intake forms you’ve completed so we can create a more dynamic picture of why you came to therapy. We’ll also get to know one another so we can make sure we’re a good fit. I’ll explain what our sessions will entail and what work needs to be done between sessions. We’ll also put together a treatment plan that will help guide our time in treatment.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strength as a provider is breaking down complex ideas into smaller more palatable ideas. Psychoeducation is an essential part of my practice and I believe it’s a necessary part of healing.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love to work with young adults who are in a period of transition or discovery. My clients are encouraged to actively participate in their own healing, so they can discover the tools they have within themselves to accomplish their goals. My youth clients also need the active participation of their support system.

My treatment methods

Trauma Informed Care

I try to approach all my interactions with my clients with a trauma-informed approach. Trauma can shape how we process information, so addressing it can be the first step in creating the life you want. My first few sessions, for most clients, includes a “bottoms up” approach, which essentially means addressing how the body integrates with how we process our emotions. Once mastered, then we can address the cognitive patterns that have led to the client’s mental health challenges.

Trauma-Focused CBT

I am currently pursuing my certification in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. TF-CBT is a treatment modality primarily focused on youth and adolescents with post-traumatic stress symptoms age 3-18 years old. Treatment typically consists of 12-16 sessions.

I have had many therapist in my life. One of which was my rock for years until she retired. Since her leaving, I spent years trying to find another therapist who is open minded and able to give me coping techniques for life. I am very happy to have found Ms. Robinson because she has been a guiding star in this phase of life. I love how comofrtable I feel when talking to her and the advice she gives me. Tending to the roots is better than fixing surface level problems. Thank you Ms. Robinson
