Hi, I’m Kiana Rathjens, PsyD. I value curiosity, depth, and collaboration in the healing process. I work with individuals who are ready to better understand themselves, make sense of their patterns, and move toward meaningful change. I bring warmth, flexibility, and clinical insight to our work together and believe therapy should be both a reflective and empowering experience.

PsyD
- Work best with: LGBTQ+ individuals, Individuals with a chronic illness, Religious Trauma, Domestic Violence: History, Bisexual Allied, Gay Allied, Lesbian Allied, Non-Binary Allied, Queer Allied, Transgender Allied
- Manage Medications: Provides therapy and collaborates closely with our psychiatry team for medication management, available through internal referral if needed.
Internal narratives shape how we experience the world, relationships, and ourselves. These stories, often formed early in life, can become limiting, but with increased awareness, they can be reexamined and reshaped. My goal as a therapist is to help clients uncover and transform these patterns in ways that feel meaningful and empowering.
To meet each client’s unique needs, I take an eclectic approach, integrating psychodynamic, supportive, expressive, CBT, DBT, CTT, and CPT frameworks. This allows me to respond with flexibility and intention to what will best support your goals.
I strive to create a space where insight, growth, and lasting change can unfold naturally. I see therapy as an art and a science, grounded in collaboration, evidence-based methods, and shared vulnerability. Through this process, I believe clients can find relief from symptoms and greater clarity in their life story.
