Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Kiara-Breia Hicks-Lyles, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of OPOM Wellness — Organized Peace of Mind & Wellness. I help women, teens, and adults find balance and healing through personalized, compassionate mental health care. I’m passionate about making mental wellness approachable, inclusive, and empowering — so you can feel like yourself again and thrive.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and holistic. I believe in meeting clients where they are — listening without judgment and creating a safe space to explore what’s really going on beneath the surface. Together, we focus on finding balance through both evidence-based treatment and whole-person care, blending medication management with mindfulness, lifestyle support, and practical coping strategies. Whether we’re addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, my goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered to take meaningful steps toward lasting wellness.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, you can expect a welcoming, collaborative space where we take time to understand your story, symptoms, and goals. My medication management style is integrative, creative, and diverse—I explore both traditional and holistic options to find what fits you best. I believe in using the lowest effective dose and pairing medication with supportive tools like mindfulness, lifestyle adjustments, and practical coping skills. Together, we’ll create a realistic, individualized plan that feels balanced, empowering, and aligned with your overall wellness. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and confident in the path forward.
