Tierra Kinnard

Hi, I'm Tierra Kinnard, LCSW, and the founder of Step by Step Healing Services, LLC. With more than 16 years of experience in the mental health field, I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, understanding, and evidence-based care. I believe healing begins in a space where you feel safe, heard, and accepted exactly as you are. I specialize in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Excoriation (Skin Picking Disorder), Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling Disorder), anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief and loss. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds, including members of the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities. I understand the profound impact that mental health challenges can have on individuals, families, and relationships, and I am committed to helping clients build resilience, find relief, and create meaningful change

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and free of judgment. I strive to create a supportive environment where you can openly share your experiences, explore difficult emotions, and work toward your goals at a pace that feels right for you. I see therapy as a partnership, and I will walk alongside you every step of your journey, celebrating your progress and supporting you through life's obstacles.

During our first session, we'll focus on getting to know one another, exploring what has brought you to therapy, and identifying your goals. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation of meaningful and lasting change, and I value taking the time to establish trust and connection from the very beginning.

Seeking support is a courageous first step. If you're ready to begin your healing journey, I would be honored to work with you.
