Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Justin, TX

I'm Kiana Armstrong, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. I’ve spent my career helping individuals navigate complex emotions, past trauma, and internalized shame that often stem from childhood neglect, abuse, or relational wounds. My passion lies in supporting those who feel they’ve had to carry too much for too long—those who are ready to begin the healing process and rediscover their sense of self.

I specialize in working with adults and teens experiencing PTSD, trauma-related stress, low self-worth, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. With experience in both individual and group settings, I bring compassion, insight, and deep respect for your lived experiences to every session.

Life can get heavy—whether you’re juggling family dynamics, relationship stress, parenting challenges, or just trying to stay afloat. Maybe you’ve always been the dependable one, the person everyone else leans on, but you’re starting to realize it’s time to focus on yourself. You want less tension, more connection, and practical tools that actually make a difference. You’re not after a quick fix—you just want someone real to help you sort things out and walk with you through the hard parts.

I am passionate about helping individuals realize that they have the ability to choose growth and freedom. I enjoy helping individuals find their identity, self confidence and the greatness within themselves that will allow them to achieve the growth that they want. I have experiencing helping individuals with depression, anxiety, life transitions, spiritual issues, grief and trauma work. I work primarily with adults.

My therapeutic style remains flexible and collaborative, focusing on your individual strengths, needs, and motivation. I consider it a privilege to partner with my clients in this work and to be trusted by them as they share their stories. I strive to create a collaborative space for you to share and examine your own behaviors, feelings, and thoughts; for as Cheryl Richardson has noted, “People start to heal the moment the feel heard.”
