Kiara Lewis, MSW

Supervisee in Social Work

Helping clients break cycles, heal wounds, and step into their purpose with confidence.

I walk alongside you as you break free from negative thought patterns, confront past trauma, and embrace personal growth. 

 

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, I’m here to support your journey  with honesty, empathy, and tools for lasting transformation.

 

My journey into therapy began with my own story of resilience. Raised deeply rooted in the church, I knew how to “do the right thing.” But like many, when college came, I went buck wild. Behind the image of the “church girl,” I silently wrestled with low self-esteem and the weight of unhealed wounds.

 

It wasn’t until I was called to ministry, and to my own personal healing, that I found my true purpose: turning my pain into a pathway to help others heal. With that experience, I look forward to helping you on your journey.
