About Kiernan
Looking for safe space as a teen or adult to grow, heal, and thrive? Is your child going through puberty, having a hard time with peers, or struggling with general life changes? Are you an adult trying to navigate life's ups and downs, unresolved challenges, or just need someone to talk to? Whether it's depression, anxiety, relationships, or general life concerns, I strive to provide a space where you can be authentically yourself. Life can be challenging, and I am here to help along the way! You are encouraged to come as you are and can expect a therapeutic journey filled with empathy, laughter, and a lot of personal growth! With experience in high-crisis, residential, outpatient, and intensive outpatient settings, I offer trauma-informed care and strategies from Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. It is important that you feel connected with resources in the community, so we will explore and identify supports as needed. I am here to offer a safe and supportive space where you feel heard, understood, valued, and empowered. Let's work together to create positive change and help you find the happiness and fulfillment you deserve. Book a free consultation today to get started!
For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?
Starting therapy can bring a wide variety emotions, but I want you to know that therapy is all about you! And who knows you better than you?! Mental health care belongs to everyone and we all deserve a space to grow, face the hard stuff, and celebrate our wins.
What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?
My approach to therapy is very laid-back but professional. If you are looking for someone who will show up to every session with a pantsuit and a notepad in hand, I may not be the best fit. I take a very collaborative approach in sessions with the goal of helping you discover what works best for you and not anyone else. I encourage all of my clients to show up how they are most comfortable, so bring that fidget, bring a snack, and show up wearing those super comfy pajamas if that's what you prefer! I have been practicing as an LPC for about 4 years and have experience in inpatient, outpatient, and high crisis environments. I value connection within the community and am happy to help you discover/access resources if needed.
What do therapy sessions with you look like?
I use a variety of modalities in therapy because everyone's needs are different. However, I always go into sessions understanding that you are the expert of your own life. I like to think of myself as a tour guide that is there to point things out and help you make sense of your past, present, and future journeys. I love to incorporate art, games, videos, and good old fashioned talk therapy, but if something doesn't resonate with you we won't do it. Therapy is a unique relationship, and it may take time for you to feel comfortable opening up, and that is totally okay!
