Hi! My name is Kiana (she/her) and as a therapist at Creekside Collaborative Therapy, my goal is to create strong, trusting therapeutic relationships that allow for safe self-expression and meaningful personal growth. 

 

My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and person-centered, while incorporating evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and polyvagal theory. I am also trained in both EMDR and Brainspotting.

 

I hold a Master’s of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Northern Colorado. I graduated in 2024, but began my career journey in mental health in 2021 working as a behavioral health specialist at Children’s Hospital Colorado’s inpatient psychiatric unit. Having worked in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings, I have developed a deep passion and dedicated interest in supporting individuals as they navigate their healing journey from traumatic experiences.

 

Additional areas of interest (and lived experience) of mine include: working with clients from multicultural backgrounds, those looking to deconstruct and/or integrate spiritual and religious beliefs into their therapeutic work, and clients experiencing chronic illness.

​

 

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, crafting, practicing yoga, baking, reading, watching scary movies, binge-watching reality TV, and spending time with my friends, family, and two cats, Winston and Gus.

​

 

I’m honored to be part of my clients’ journeys as they learn, heal, and grow into the most authentic versions of themselves.
