Dr. Kerry-Ann Zamore-Byrd, DSW, LCSW-S

Dr. Kerry-Ann Zamore-Byrd has spent more than two decades in teaching, clinical, and community practice, with much of that work focused on adults and families in crisis. As a clinician in Killeen, she supports women through divorce, domestic abuse and violence, family conflict, infidelity, parenting, self-esteem, and women’s issues. She also leads “Pathway to Purpose,” a CBT-based group for adult survivors of domestic violence that covers divorce and parenting.

Her approach is eclectic and grounded in each client’s strengths. She draws on CBT, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and a strengths perspective, and offers Christian counseling for clients who want faith as part of their healing.

Dr. Zamore-Byrd earned her Master of Social Work and Doctor of Social Work from the University of Southern California, along with a Master’s in Education. She is a Clinical Assistant Professor and Interim Undergraduate Program Director at Baylor University’s Diana R. Garland School of Social Work, where her teaching and research center on trauma-informed practice, cultural identity, and the integration of faith and mental health.

She is also an award-winning filmmaker and playwright whose stage plays and films explore resilience, healing, and empowerment in faith-based communities. She is the author of Unloading Divorce Baggage: Shedding the Weight to Grow and Go (2022) and Restored: From Mourning to Dancing (2016).
