Kierra H., MSW, LCSWA, LCAS-A

You’ve taken so many big steps to get to this point in life. Healing hasn’t been easy, and the thought of starting therapy may feel overwhelming. But deep down, you know it’s the next step towards growth. I’m so glad you’re here. My mission is to guide you through self-discovery, acceptance, and healing. Together, we will explore past hurt, heal emotional wounds, and help you discover your unique value in the present. You deserve a fulfilling life, not just one you manage to get through. Let’s take this step forward together. Reach out today.

I specialize in trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression (including Postpartum Depression), self-esteem struggles, and life changes. I work with both adults and teens from all backgrounds and identities, including BIPOC and LGBTQ+ clients. My therapeutic approach is tailored to each individual, incorporating evidence-based interventions such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Trauma-Focused Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (TF-DBT), EMDR, and Compassion-Focused Therapy. 

I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental environment and provide a set of skills that are based on listening, caring, respect, and encouragement. If you find that one intervention does not work for you, we can always try others. My goal is to find a modality that fits your needs and helps you best throughout your healing process. 

My Experience
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist Associate with a Master’s in Social Work from UNC Charlotte. With four years of experience, I’ve dedicated my work to supporting trauma survivors, especially those impacted by domestic violence and sexual assault. My passion is creating a safe, empowering space where healing and resilience can thrive.

When I’m not in therapist mode I’m…

On my downtime, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, shopping, and kicking back outside with a good book or listening to my R&B oldies.
