Getting to know Tierra Kinnard

Hi there, I'm Tierra! I'm the founder of Step by Step Healing Services. With more than 16 years of experience in the mental health field, I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion and understanding. I believe healing begins in a space where you feel safe, heard, and accepted exactly as you are. My focus I work with adolescents and adults navigating OCD, anxiety, depression, and grief and loss. I provide a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space for clients experiencing life challenges, emotional distress, intrusive thoughts, and difficult transitions. My approach My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and trauma-informed. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Trauma-Informed Care, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to help clients understand patterns, build coping skills, face challenges, and make meaningful, lasting change. My communication style I use a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental communication style. I strive to create a safe space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood. I communicate openly and collaboratively, while adapting my approach to each client's unique needs, comfort level, and goals. My journey to mental healthcare My personal experiences shaped my passion for therapy. Growing up as the child of parents navigating co-occurring disorders, I saw firsthand the need for compassionate mental health support. I'm driven to make a difference by providing accessible, affordable virtual therapy to those who need it most. My goals for you I approach goal setting collaboratively, helping clients identify what matters most to them and establish realistic, meaningful goals. We break larger goals into manageable steps, build on strengths, and regularly assess progress while adjusting the plan as needed.
