Getting to know Kierra Gordon-Smith

Hi there, I'm Kierra! I am passionate about helping you gain more insight into your problems or past & assisting you in learning the necessary skills to overcome & achieve more peace in your life. I look forward to working with you. My approach I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you at your pace & support you in navigating your way through life & toward a greater sense of healing & wellness. My focus I am here to listen and assist in any way I can therapeutically. My communication style I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient. My journey to mental healthcare My journey into therapy began with learning to overcome my own struggles. During my graduate training, I had the opportunity to work with individuals who struggled with severe mental illness. This experience showed me the powerful role that therapy can play in healing and overcoming adversity. My goals for you I believe that therapy is a partnership. I work with you to identify and set goals that matter to you whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another personal objective. My first session with you Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We’ll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. You can ask me questions about the therapeutic process and what to expect, but remember this is about your healing journey.
