LMHC, 10 years of experience
Hello and welcome! I am thrilled and so glad you’ve arrived—this is a safe space for you to be seen, heard, and supported! My work is rooted in individual therapy/care that is inclusive and affirming of all identities. I am proudly supportive of BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities, human rights, equity, and belonging. While I identify as agnostic, I welcome and respect all religious and spiritual backgrounds. Your beliefs, identity, and lived experiences are respected here. Let’s turn this corner of your journey into a place of growth, healing, and maybe a little fun too!
While I utilize an integrative approach to therapy, I value using EMDR as a gentle, empowering approach that I hope will help prospective clients move through anxiety, perfectionism, phobias, trauma, and women’s issues.I am continually honored to accompany clients in this work. I enjoy using EMDR because I see how it can help people not only feel relief, but also rediscover confidence and emotional freedom.
Many clients come to therapy feeling like they “should” be able to manage on their own, especially those who have learned to be high-achieving, caring, or emotionally self-sufficient. EMDR offers a gentle invitation to soften those expectations and allow the body and mind to work together in healing.
It's important for prospective clients to know that therapy is a collaborative process. The client and I will work together to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, aiming to identify patterns and develop strategies for change. Building a strong therapeutic alliance, characterized by trust, is essential for effective therapy. My goal is for clients to feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and emotions in the therapeutic space without fear of judgment. This open communication helps in setting realistic goals and making meaningful progress.
My name is Kiara Jones. Welcome to your future safe haven of empathy and eccentricity! As your licensed mental health counselor, I'm not your average therapist—I'm a compassionate companion on your journey to inner peace, armed with a dash of quirkiness. Together, we'll navigate your emotions, uncovering hidden treasures of self-awareness, and resilience.

She gets me. She asks questions to dive deeper into issues and I don’t feel judged. Helps me work out my issues and I don’t feel rushed.

For a first session, it feels good to have someone who recognizes and acknowledges my hardships for what they are, and understands that there are indeed real existing problems that need to be worked through.
