Hey there! I'm Kiana. I'm a licensed clinical social worker in Texas! I have a background in both the medical and mental health field. I have had the privilege of working with unique individuals across all age groups and backgrounds. The challenges of life can have a complex impact and I'm here to help you cope with stressors in a more helpful manner. I am passionate about my work in helping others achieve fulfillment and happiness in their lives.
I'm interested in knowing who you are and how I can help you! I would love to embark on this journey of mental wellbeing with you. Together we will navigate through the barriers you're experiencing, understanding your limitations, building your strengths, and learning new skills to increase positive outcomes while reducing symptoms of mental health. In our sessions you can expect to feel validated, supported, and challenged. I want you to be comfortable so during sessions, we'll go at your speed.
My genuineness and desire to help you reach your full potential drives my practice. I offer a blended approach of evidence-based practices because your treatment should be just as unique as you are! I will give you a person-centered experience and provide you with a safe place to work out all the challenges in life. I think it's important to find balance in your life and that starts with building self-esteem and establishing boundaries.
In this modality, we will talk about how thoughts, feelings, and reactions all play a role in positive vs negative outcomes and how they affect us. We will identify thinking errors, reframe assumptions, and build skills to cope with stressors in a more helpful way.
In this modality, I will support you in setting goals you would like to achieve. I will assess your motivation for change, provide you with affirmations and reflective listening, and empower your autonomy and self-determinations. This modality can be challenging and rewarding. I am here to support you all the way.
With a person-centered approach, you lead the therapy session by determining your goals or what you want to discuss. Change will happen as our therapeutic relationship grows. I will always be genuine, transparent, empathetic, and provide you with safety and support. I am here to help you reach your fullest potential! The person you've always wanted to be is at the end of this mental health journey!
In this modality, we will explore unresolved issues from your early childhood experiences. We will exam how the past influences your current behaviors and plays a role in your defense mechanisms. This modality can especially help when it comes to relationship problems.
This modality focuses on assessing and building your strengths and resources to achieve an established goal. Together, we will envision the outcome you want. I will give you feedback, and we will explore barriers that are getting in the way of maintaining the changes you've made for yourself.
