Kiara Lewis, MSW
Helping clients break cycles, heal wounds, and step into their purpose with confidence.
Kiara's journey into therapy began with her won story of resilience. Raised deeply routed in the church, she knew how to “do the right thing.” But like many, when college came, she went buck wild. Behind the image of the “church girl,” she silently wrestled with low self-esteem and the weight of unhealed wounds. It wasn’t until she was called to ministry — and to her own personal healing — that Kiara found her true purpose: turning her pain into a pathway to help others heal.
Today, Kiara walks alongside adults and adolescents as they break free from negative thought patterns, confront past trauma, and embrace personal growth. Her approach blends real-life experience and professional training to create a judgment-free space where you can release what’s been holding you back and develop healthier, more empowering ways to move forward.
You don’t have to stay stuck in cycles that no longer serve you. Whether you're facing self-esteem struggles, past pain, or limiting beliefs, Kiara is here to support your journey — with honesty, empathy, and tools for lasting transformation.
