I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in working with women, and female-identifying clients, (18+) who want to heal their relationship with their bodies and uncover their authentic identity in order to build lasting self-worth and empowerment in all areas of life. I want to help women feel powerful, worthy, and confident and finally shed narratives of shame and perfectionism that hinder self-perception. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English from Pepperdine University and my Master of Social Work from Louisiana State University. I have had clinical experience in a range of different non-profit, healthcare, and treatment agency settings that provided me with invaluable training to help clients feel empowered and make lasting changes.
Hello there, I’m Kyrzia Parker (she/her), MSW, LCSW, CDWF and I hold a Masters Degree in Social Work from the University of Denver. I am also EMDR trained. I have worked with a variety of clients who have struggled with ongoing mental health concerns and specializes with those currently struggling with shame, anxiety, trauma and depression.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, I completed my medical training at NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine. As an osteopathic physician, I practice with a holistic lens—integrating mind, body, and spirit—and value personalized, relational, and evidence-based care. I completed my psychiatric residency at St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, DC, a forensic psychiatric hospital often referred to as “the ICU of psychiatry” for its work with individuals facing chronic, treatment-resistant conditions. After residency, I spent three years in outpatient psychiatry within large corporate settings and ultimately transitioned to an eating-disorder hospital, seeking work aligned with depth, integrity, and true patient-centered care.
As a first-generation Ukrainian Jew and a native Russian speaker, I hold lived experience with immigration, intergenerational trauma, and cultural stigma surrounding mental health. This background informs my compassion, humility, and commitment to meeting patients where they are.
