Kyra Ledwell - Full
Kyra Ledwell is a clinical counseling intern committed to holistic healing and community care based in Columbia and Kershaw County. She is currently earning her Master’s in Clinical Counseling at Columbia International University, where her training is rooted in a Christian worldview that integrates faith and evidence-based practices. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Human Services with a minor in Intercultural Studies from CIU and became a certified Maternal Support Practitioner through BeboMia Inc. in 2024. With a heart for meeting people where they are, Kyra offers care that respects individual stories and cultural backgrounds. Kyra approaches counseling through a Christian holistic worldview, believing that true healing addresses the whole person, mind, body, and spirit.
Kyra offers compassionate, honest care rooted in the hope that meaningful change and healing are possible. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS), her trauma-informed, eclectic approach allows her to adapt to each client’s needs with care and collaboration through a safe and respectful therapeutic relationship.
She sees counseling as sacred work, a space where God meets people in their pain and gently invites them into transformation. For Kyra, healing includes spiritual restoration, grace-filled truth, and a renewed understanding of one’s identity, worth, and purpose. Grounded in advocacy, coaching, mentorship, and her love for her family, husband, nieces, nephews, and godchildren, Kyra brings authenticity, empathy, and a deep belief in the power of healing into every space she enters.
Kyra works with women (18+), couples, and adolescents (13–17) facing challenges like depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and major life transitions. Her clinical focus includes women’s issues, birth trauma, perinatal mood disorders, abuse recovery, and relationship struggles.
