Meet the Team:
Kiya (Kendra) Black, LMSW is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi, and a trauma-informed clinician practicing within a liberation-based framework. Drawing from an eclectic range of modalities—including Motivational Interviewing (MI), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)—I work with diverse populations, including LGBTQIA+ individuals, people living with HIV/AIDS, unhoused individuals, youth, and those navigating co-occurring disorders or relationship challenges related to trauma, communication, or boundaries. I am passionate about supporting clients in accessing the healing needed to live authentically and fully, and my approach is rooted in the belief that each person holds the wisdom and strength to guide their own healing. I currently offer both in-person and telehealth individual therapy sessions.
Ashley Ramirez Mendez, MS, RDN, LDN is a bilingual Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (MS, RDN, LDN) offering inclusive, client-centered, and trauma-informed care grounded in the principles of Body Trust®, Intuitive Eating, and Health at Every Size® (HAES®). I support individuals in building a positive relationship with food, culture, and their bodies, and strive to create a compassionate, affirming space where clients feel seen, respected, and empowered to define health on their own terms. I provide nutrition therapy both in person and via telehealth. Outside of my practice, I enjoy puzzles, reading, learning guitar, and, most of all, spending time with my family.
