Kierra Holiday, LICSW
Kierra L. Holiday is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and the founder of District Counseling LLC. I have more than six years of experience working families, individuals, children, & adolescents in various settings which include: non-profits, child welfare, foster care, criminal justice, schools, and direct therapy. Throughout my work in DC & Maryland, I have prided myself on providing excellent service to my client, which led to the opening District Counseling LLC.
My therapeutic approach is solution-focused and client-centered. I provide care to individuals and families. It is my goal to help people develop a better understanding of the factors that contribute to their stress, worries, anxiety, and concerns. This improved understanding can lead to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, improved decision making, and a significant reduction in feelings of distress.
Ms. Holiday received her Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice from Florida A&M University and her Masters from Howard University School of Social Work
