Dr. Darrian McKiernan

With a doctoral degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Florida State University, I bring a wealth of academic knowledge and expertise to my practice. I currently serve coaching clients nationwide and therapy clients in Arizona and Florida. In addition, I am the co-director of Arizona State University’s Marriage and Family Therapy program, where I train the next generation of relational and trauma-informed therapists.

My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space where we can work collaboratively to pave the way for healing and empowerment. My clients often describe me as refreshingly direct, authentic, and honest. I believe in the power of straightforward communication to gently guide you through obstacles and difficult conversations. I have particular expertise in supporting survivors of sexual and relational trauma. Through candid feedback and practical tools, I tailor our work to support you in living a life aligned with your true self.
