Sierra Estes, LICSW

Counseling Style

Sierra is a person-centered clinician who leads with empathy. She strives to create a safe space for healing and engage with her clients so they feel comfortable in being themselves. Sierra is a trauma-informed professional who believes everyone has the capacity to impact change in their own lives, whatever that may look like. Therapy is not one size fits all, so Sierra works with each client to find the approach that feels right. She is curious to find clients’ unique strengths and tools for empowerment that support their healing journey.

Experience

Sierra is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who received her Masters of Social Work from Simmons University in 2021. She worked for 4 years as a behavioral health provider at a community health center serving uninsured and vulnerable patient populations. Sierra provided mental health services for a wide range of clients in the primary care setting, including asylum seekers in the health center’s refugee program as well as gender diverse patients in the gender-affirming care program. Her experience influences her clinical work to be nonjudgmental, culturally humble, and trauma-informed.
