Hello, my name is Kia Izzard. I’m a licensed clinical social worker. I’ve been a social worker for over 20 years. I assist clients in increasing their insight and awareness of their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. I delve into what’s going on presently. I listen and help them to reflect and feel validated. I don’t subscribe to any one therapeutic modality other than telling your story, which I do with narrative therapy techniques. I believe that those who are marginalized, those who experience trauma, or those who feel like they don’t have a voice, can benefit from narrative therapy techniques.

I specialize in working with clients who have experienced childhood trauma, domestic/intimate partner violence or relationship challenges, chronic pain/illness, and substance use issues. I also appreciate the beautiful tangents, metaphors, and insights from my work with neurodiverse clients. Much of my work focused on helping clients examine how trauma has shaped their lives, decisions, & current circumstances and find ways to heal.
