Kiera Gordon

I’m Kiera Gordon, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than a decade of experience in healthcare and behavioral health. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Social Work from Florida A&M University and my Master of Social Work from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Over the years, I’ve served as a Program Manager, Therapist, and Wellness Educator, roles that reflect my commitment to mental health advocacy and sustainable wellness.

You should know that I’m human first and a therapist second. I understand how easy it is to set goals for your health, mindset, or life and how frustrating it can feel when you keep starting over. Along with my professional experience, I bring empathy, honesty, and practicality into the work. I don’t believe in perfection or quick fixes; I believe in sustainable change that fits your real life.

My approach is solution focused, structured, and supportive. Together, we focus on what’s keeping you stuck, what’s worked for you before (even briefly), and what small, realistic shifts can move you forward. Therapy with me blends psychoeducation, behavior modification, accountability, and skill building with emotional support. We talk about patterns, discipline, consistency, boundaries, stress, and self regulation without judgment. My goal is to help you increase your capacity to build habits and coping strategies that actually last beyond motivation.

Your first session is a conversation, not an interrogation. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you’ve tried before, and what you’re hoping will be different this time. I’ll ask questions to understand your goals, challenges, and daily routines, and we’ll begin identifying patterns that may be getting in the way. You can expect a calm, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and not rushed. By the end of the session, you’ll leave with clarity on next steps and a shared plan for how we’ll work together.
