Process for Working With Clients
Kira’s approach to therapy begins with getting to know each client’s unique story, experiences, and goals. In the first sessions, she focuses on building a strong therapeutic foundation while gaining a deeper understanding of what brings a client to therapy and what they hope to gain from the process.
From there, Kira works collaboratively with clients to identify patterns, develop insight, and build relevant coping strategies to support their growth. She integrates evidence-based approaches through a trauma-informed and culturally responsive lens, always tailoring treatment to meet each client’s individual needs.
Kira views therapy as an evolving process and regularly checks in with clients about their progress and goals, ensuring their work remains meaningful, supportive, and aligned with what matters most to them.
