Kiri Hamm

Hi, I'm Kiri. I'm so glad you stopped by my page! I received my Bachelor's Degree in Social Work and my Master's Degree in Counseling with a concentration in Couples and Family, from East Tennessee State University. I am a bi-racial woman who offers a different approach to the traditional therapy role. I love implementing CBT, DBT, Systems Theory, and Somatic Practices into my work with clients. My top two values are kindness and humility, and I try to implement self-kindness and compassion into my practices.

Schedule with me if I sound like a good fit for you, or if you would like support in navigating difficulties in your life in a warm and welcoming environment with a woman of color!

My approach in therapy is self-guided as I am here to go with you, wherever you'd like to take the session. I act as a mirror, and reflect to you things I hear, see, and feel to see if you share those experiences. Together, we can explore what's coming up for you with self-kindness, compassion, and support.

I usually start by telling clients that therapy is like a strange form of dating, sometimes your first date is great! Other times, you're rushing to the bathroom to call for a ride from a friend or family member! We're humans, and sometimes the connection is there, and sometimes it's not. In the first session, we can see if it's a good fit, and if my style of therapy works for you! If it does, we can discuss the primary reasons you're looking for therapy and the goals you want to work towards. If not, we can discuss looking for another therapist, and the type of therapist that fits your personality and current needs!
