I am passionate about supporting others in their search for greater awareness, understanding, clarity, relief, and authenticity. This process often takes a safe space and intentional time as well as willingness and courage. I feel honored to be invited into people's unique, complicated, and often difficult stories and then to journey alongside in a supportive, empathic and caring way.

Hello! My name is Kishla Preston and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida. I have been practicing for the past 10 years and have loved every moment of it. I have had the heart to help others since the age of 10. So much so, that, in high school, I ended up taking custody of the 2-month-old child of a family friend until he was age 2, while his mother gained stability. That being said, I have a special place in my heart for children, young adults, and mothers. My personal goal for every client I meet is to make their lives a little bit better than it was before we found one another.

It may feel like parts of you are broken or you hurt so deeply, and nothing seems to heal the wounds. But you know you want more for yourself and for your relationships, and you want to take that next step towards healing. You may find you are struggling with anxiety and depression, feeling "stuck," your relationships are challenged, your body feels tense and stressed, or you can't quite understand why things feel out of sorts. You want to heal, but you don't know where to begin. I want you to know you are not alone, you are not too broken to heal, and you are worthy of living in a body and environment that is calm and enjoyable.

My clients often feel stuck, overwhelmed by anxiety, panic, or intrusive thoughts that disrupt their daily lives. Many are trauma survivors—whether from childhood abuse, domestic violence, or workplace stress as first responders. They're seeking relief from anger, avoidance, hopelessness, and emotional overwhelm. Often referred after struggling with traditional talk therapy, they need specialized, trauma-informed care that provides practical tools alongside deep healing.

The focus is you. People who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, and loss sometimes forget that they matter. Other things become more important. When we work together, the most important person is you. We work on getting you better emotionally, physically and spiritually. Then you can heal and have a more balanced life. My clients tell me they appreciate how we get them unstuck in difficult times. They find hope and get energized about their life. I work well with cultural, biracial, multiracial and faith based situations. I have helped many individuals, couples, families and children achieve their goals.

At times we can feel overwhelmed with fear and anxiety or stuck in life patterns that do not allow us to access the life we had hoped for. Part of the "stuckness" can come from past experiences and perspectives we learned from an early age. Part of it can come from current experiences that leave us feeling lost, afraid, or like we have no control.

I work best with clients who feel weighed down by ADHD, anxiety, depression, or past trauma and are seeking a supportive space to feel truly heard. They may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, and are looking for clarity, confidence, and balance. These clients are often ready to develop practical strategies for managing stress, improving relationships, and nurturing a more compassionate relationship with themselves.
