Therapists in Fairfax, VA

I specialize in treating traumatic stress and emotion dysregulation. It can sometimes feel like our emotions run our lives, and I'd love to help you learn how to take back control! I also frequently support clients in navigating stressors related to work-life balance, parenting, and the military lifestyle. I strive to create an empathic, non-judgmental, and safe atmosphere to support each client in overcoming barriers and making positive changes. I operate from a strengths-based perspective and will collaborate with you to provide evidence-based treatment for your individual needs and goals.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a Certified Integrative Mental Professional (CIMHP), and a former American Council on Exercise (ACE) personal trainer, I am able to support people who are struggling to overcome mental health challenges and physical ailments. We will discuss your strengths, presenting concerns, and your hopes for change in your life. Through collaboration and commitment, you can make the necessary adjustments in order to feel happy and successful.

Our mind supports us in so many ways. But from time to time our mind needs support just like the rest of our body. Events in our life may impact our mind. You might have just gotten some challenging health news, recently lost a loved one, or sometimes it’s something from your past that keeps popping up. Or it could be the day to day of witnessing sadness in the news. Regardless of the reason, your mind deserves the same care as the rest of your body. My specialties include trauma, grief, anxiety, and health conditions (including fertility journeys and perinatal care).

In my experience, I've found that the more clients are interested and motivated to make changes, the more they will benefit from the therapeutic process. Client's issues can vary from dealing w a change or transition in their lives to someone who struggles with a chronic mental health issue. Clients are able to be practical and realistic in relation to their goals. Typically, clients are wanting to have a safe space and connection in order to reduce the intensity, duration, or frequency of their issues or associated symptoms.

We all have a human need to feel connected – to our loved ones, our communities, and the world around us. Sometimes, however, emotional roadblocks or negative thought patterns can create walls that make genuine connections difficult. Therapy can be a powerful tool to explore these very issues. Imagine therapy as a safe space where you can freely explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors without judgment. Brianna's approach is collaborative and authentic, meaning you'll work together as a team to uncover how these internal factors might be impacting you.

I’m Kira, a clinician who is practicing everyday, and learning new things because I’m challenged by the work that we do together. This is a safe place for us to practice, challenge one another, plant seeds and grow anew. Everyone experiences life challenges and changes that can create stress, confusion, discomfort and pain. Because life isn’t perfect, some or many of them cause wounding. Therapy can help you work through these life challenges and changes to create an easier journey.

I know what it is like to encounter what seem to be insurmountable obstacles. To feel stuck, alone, and struggling to hold onto the hope there is a pathway forward. To be so wracked by pain, anxiety, grief, anger, guilt, and shame that it can be hard to breathe. Let me help.
