Introduction

I'm Dr. Kierra Pickens, I’m an international psychologist and licensed therapist in Texas and Illinois. I’ve had the privilege of traveling to over 40 countries, which shaped my understanding of how life experiences, stress, and identity impact mental health. In my private practice, I specialize in working with professionals, entrepreneurs, and high-achieving individuals who struggle with high-functioning anxiety, relationship challenges, and the pressure of balancing it all. My approach is eclectic; it's warm, person centered and rooted in real-life tools to help you calm your mind, build healthier habits, and feel more connected. I believe therapy is a safe space to reset and thrive, not just survive.
