The phone consultation is a 15 minute phone conversation where I get the chance to learn more about you and why you’re seeking therapy. We discuss your initial therapy goals; the therapy process; and my approach to therapy. I love to start with the phone consultation because this initial discussion can help us gauge whether we feel like a good fit for each other; identify expectations of therapy; as well as answer any initial questions about me, my style, my practice, or therapy in general.

The intake interview is our first session together. This first session is 60 minutes long, and is considered an “intake interview” because we gather a variety of information about various aspects of your life. For example, I’ll want to know what brings you to therapy and what do you hope to get out of coming to therapy. I may ask about your family history; your mental health history; your academic history; and your medical history just to name a few.

Individual therapy sessions are 1:1 appointments where I meet with you to work on your therapeutic goals. Determining how the session will be utilized, can be a collaborative effort whereby you and I identify what feels like the best use of our time together. For example, some clients like to pick up where the last session ended; some clients discuss a pressing issue that occurred between sessions; and some clients use the time to hone a new skill.

Hello! I’m Kiara Tookes-Williams, a current doctoral student in Counseling Psychology at Tennessee State University, dedicated to helping individuals heal, grow, and reclaim their voice. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Sociology and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, both from LaGrange College.
My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and deeply rooted in cultural awareness. I believe in meeting people where they are, honoring their lived experiences, and walking alongside them with compassion, intentionality, and care.
I have experience supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, grief, and major life transitions. I'm especially passionate about working with individuals from marginalized communities, college students, and those carrying the weight of silent struggles and unseen burdens.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, unheard, or unsure where to begin, you’re not alone! Together, we’ll create a space where your healing feels possible and your story is honored.
