Meet The Team
Kiandra Daniels, LMFT-S, ADHD-CCSP
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist-Supervisor | ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider
Hello & Welcome! I’m Kiandra Daniels, a Texas therapist passionate about providing culturally competent therapy for Black individuals, couples, and families. I founded Color Wheel Therapy in 2020 with the mission of improving Black mental health access and creating a safe, affirming space for healing.
I earned my B.S. in Psychology from Prairie View A&M University and my M.S. in Family Therapy from Texas Woman’s University. With experience in individual therapy, family and couples therapy, inpatient care, and intensive outpatient settings, I specialize in helping Black teens and adults (ages 13-65) navigate high-functioning anxiety, depression, identity struggles, grief, life transitions, relationships, trauma, LGBTQ+ concerns, and cultural challenges. I’m also passionate about supporting Black college students, especially HBCU students, as they navigate adulthood and mental health challenges.
My approach is trauma-informed, integrative, and tailored to your unique needs, incorporating CBT, DBT, and other evidence-based techniques to help you heal and thrive. More than anything, I want to reduce the stigma around Black mental health and empower my clients to embrace growth, self-awareness, and emotional wellness.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy art, music, traveling, real estate, trying new foods, working out, and spending time with my loved ones, including my dog Lavish!
My motto: Be scared, and do it anyway.
Kiara Smothers, 200-RYT, M.Ed.
Registered Yoga Teacher
Namaste! I’m Kiara Smothers.
Born and raised in Longview, TX, and now living in Tyler, I balance my role as a full-time Success Coach at iSchool Virtual Academy with running East Texas’ first Black-owned, trauma-informed mobile yoga business, TRAP Yoga. TRAP stands for Trauma, Release, and Peace, and is safe space in any place, where healing and movement come together.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Human Development from Stephen F. Austin State University, followed by a Master’s in Teacher Leadership from LeTourneau University. After marriage and motherhood, my journey led me to become a certified Trauma-Informed Yoga Instructor. My goal has always been to help the Black community reconnect with their bodies, release trauma, and reclaim peace one breath and one pose at a time.
In addition to trauma-informed yoga, I’m certified in Meditation, Prenatal Yoga, and PTSD support. I’m on a mission to become the first Black Yoga Therapist in East Texas, and I’m just getting started!
