Kiara Phelps, LSW
About Me
My role is to be a witness to your unfolding journey; with support, empathy, curiosity, and non-judgement, we will work together. My approach is grounded in a deep respect for your unique background, identity, and lived experiences. I’m here to meet you where you are with care, with presence, and with the belief that healing is not always linear, but it is possible.
I know reaching out for support isn’t always easy, especially when you’ve been holding it together for so long. But you don’t have to do it all on your own. If you’re feeling that quiet pull for change, healing, or simply someone to talk to who truly gets it, I’m here. When you’re ready, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
My Approach
I believe relationships are the mirrors that show us where we need healing. I help individuals and couples strengthen emotional connection, rebuild trust, and communicate more effectively. My approach is grounded, collaborative, and dependable. You’ll always feel supported as we explore the patterns shaping your story.
With a background in trauma, I help clients understand how past experiences continue to influence their present emotions, relationships, and sense of safety. Together, we’ll work toward healing old wounds, building resilience, and creating a more secure foundation for growth. My clients appreciate that I bring compassion, honesty, and gentle challenge into our work because therapy should help you thrive, not just cope.
