Hi, I’m Kiandre’a Pound, MS, RMHCI

I am a Florida pre-licensed clinical mental health counselor with a deep passion for supporting individuals in overcoming trauma and navigating life’s challenges. My background is both diverse and grounded in a desire to make a real difference in people’s lives.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, a Master's in Early Childhood Education, and a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in trauma. My therapeutic approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which I use to help clients process and heal from past trauma, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and build emotional resilience.

Before entering the mental health field, I spent four years as a teacher, where I discovered my passion for helping students and their families address emotional and psychological challenges. This experience inspired me to transition into counseling, where I could provide deeper support and guidance to individuals struggling with trauma and mental health concerns.

In addition to my clinical training, I have a strong background in athletics as a former Division I women’s basketball player at Florida International University. My experience as an athlete gives me a unique understanding of the mental health challenges that athletes face, such as performance anxiety, the emotional toll of injury recovery, and the pressures of balancing competitive sports with personal life. I work with athletes to address the psychological impact of their athletic careers, helping them manage stress, maintain mental well-being, and overcome barriers to success both in sports and in life.

I offer Telehealth services exclusively within the state of Florida, providing clients with the convenience of accessing support from the comfort of their homes. Whether you are dealing with past trauma or navigating the mental health challenges that come with being an athlete, I am here to support you. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on empowering you to move forward with confidence and emotional strength.

Together, we can work toward healing, growth, and a brighter future where you can thrive personally, emotionally, and in every area of your life.
