Clinicians
Dr. Nic Hardy
My counseling experience spans 15 years; but real life– and my fair share of mishaps–have equally added to my ability to establish meaningful connections and help people through difficult times. I received my master’s in social work from the University of Texas, Arlington, and my Ph.D. at the University of Houston, where my research focused on healthy relationships.
After graduating from college with a degree in Business Management, and teaching English in Buenos Aires, Argentina – I worked as a Mental Health Specialist for one of the largest behavioral health providers in Memphis, TN. After completing my master’s degree in Social Work at the University of Texas, Arlington, I worked in a number of settings that supported the mental health adults.
I am the host of Untherapeutic, a relationship podcast for people who don’t go to therapy and have have been featured in People Magazine, Huff Post, Cosmopolitan, Forbes Health, Newsweek, Brides Magazine and more. I was also recognized by BlackLove as one of 10 therapists online you should follow, and frequent contributor on Fox 26 News.
I provide individual and couples counseling and offer training on mental health and relationships. I work with people from all walks of life but have the most experience supporting those who have experienced anxiety, depression, perfectionism, divorce, relationship struggles, and uncertainty.
Dr. Kierra McShine-Gregory
Kierra believes that Counseling can help to identify strengths and personal successes, as well as helping us to explore areas of growth through self-discovery. A native of Virginia, Kierra graduated with a Bachelor’s in Developmental Psychology, and holds a master’s degree in Counseling and Education, and since 2009 she has been active in the field of education with a foundational framework as a mental health professional.
The foundation to Kierra’s counseling relationships starts with creating a warm, open, and supportive environment that will foster trust and reflection as you tackle the road ahead together. She believes that deep reflection, guided by therapeutic strategies will allow her clients to create a cognitive visual which will support the practical methods that she employs in their counseling sessions.
Understanding one’s past and current life patterns will help to foster internal growth, leading to deeper awareness and emotional well-being that will cultivate a healthy mental trajectory. Kierra’s primary method of counseling includes meditation, mindfulness, and a person-centered approach. Kierra’s approach has helped clients: find success in their relationship with self and others coping with challenges of daily living (stress, trauma, relationships etc.), develop healthy coping skills, enhance fulfilling in overall well-being related to depression, anxiety, academic difficulties, family conflicts, and life goals (purpose, career satisfaction etc.)
Kierra has continued to bridge her counseling framework with her educational experience to serve her community. Kierra is a mindful and restorative practitioner, and has completed her Doctoral Degree in Social Services, focusing on the considerations of Mindfulness and Restorative practices for minority youth.
