Kiana Wiley
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist -
Welcome! My name is Kiana (she/her). I identify as an affirmative, client-centered, trauma-informed, and inclusive therapist who tailors therapy to meet the client needs. I hold a social-justice and anti-racism framework inside and outside of my therapy work. I integrate cultural humility, social justice, anti-oppressive, anti-carceral approaches, and advocacy in my practice. BIPOC and LGBTQ Allied.I have worked for 5 years in mental health. I am an alum of University of San Diego with a M.A. in Marital and Family Therapy and of San Diego State University with a B.A. in Psychology, minor in Counseling and Social Change. My philosophy is that all individuals should have an opportunity to access mental health services for wellness and recovery regardless of their ability to pay. I strive to make the world a happier and more enjoyable place to live in through my work in and outside of the field.
