Getting to know Kia Batiste
Welcome, I'm Kia!
Life can present you with a million and one ups, downs, flips, and turns. All of this, understandably so, can take a toll on your mental health and relationships.
Although we have these challenges, seeking support can be difficult. So, congrats on taking this step! You deserve a safe space to express yourself, heal, and grow to your full potential.
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in the District of Columbia. I obtained a master's degree in Social Work with a concentration in Interpersonal Practice from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where I also earned a bachelor's degree. Additionally, I hold another bachelor's degree from Norfolk State University. I started my career working with at-risk youth and fell in love with the field. Since then, I have worked with a variety of clients from different demographics, backgrounds, and ages.
I'm eager to join you on this journey. Let's work together to restore YOU.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My goal is to help you feel empowered to tackle hurdles in your life and develop skills to sustain confidence. Our time together will be a judgement free zone to express your thoughts, feelings, and emotions in efforts to promote improved happiness and a healthier relationship with yourself and others.
It’s my objective to build a unique relationship with you. In our sessions we will identify indications of mental health challenges, problematic behaviors, and connections between your childhood experiences and current circumstances to provide a blueprint to address the challenges you are currently facing.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
