Kiara Redice
I graduated from Winston-Salem State University where I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology in 2014, and Master’s Degree in Psychology with a specialization in Clinical Counseling from Capella University in 2018. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate, with over two years of experience. I provide individual and family therapy to children, adolescents, and adults to address issues such as, but are not limited to: Family Changes, Interpersonal Conflict, Anxiety, Depression, Self-Esteem Issues, Grief and Loss, and Anger Management. I work from a cognitive-behavioral framework; however, I may utilize techniques and skills from other theories depending on the need of the client. I view counseling as a collaborative process, and considers the client as the expert of their lives. I provide clients with a space to be open and honest while assisting them to identify goals for change. My goal as a counselor is to provide a safe environment where we can explore your primary interests, develop goals and determine strengths and assets as you move toward your aspirations.

Keyadd Miller
I am a graduate of Presbyterian College, where I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology in 2014, followed by a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Winthrop University in 2016. I am a Licensed School Social Worker with nine years of experience in the field.
Throughout my career, I have provided individual and family therapy to children, adolescents, and adults, addressing a range of issues, including but not limited to family transitions, interpersonal conflicts, anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, grief and loss, and anger management. I primarily work within a solution-focused framework, though I integrate techniques and methodologies from other therapeutic approaches as appropriate to meet the unique needs of each client.
I view the therapeutic process as a collaborative partnership, with the client serving as the expert on their own life. My approach fosters a safe and open space where clients can express themselves honestly, identify their goals for change, and work towards meaningful solutions. As a therapist, my aim is to create an environment where clients feel supported in exploring their interests, developing personal goals, and leveraging their strengths as they progress toward achieving their aspirations.
