Ciara is a Limited Licensed master’s Social Worker (LLMSW) who graduated with her Master of Social Work from Wayne State University and a Bachelor of Science in Human Services with a concentration in family systems from Siena Heights University. She has made it her life's work to assist clients in harnessing their own superpowers to confront their own unique challenges head-on through a strengths-based and supportive approach.
In a session, she strives to establish a secure and encouraging setting in which clients can express themselves, gain knowledge, and be themselves without fear of being judged.
Ciara believes that every individual possesses the capacity to develop, change, and triumph over the difficulties that life presents. Ciara uses a combination of mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy with each client. She examines a client's physical, spiritual, emotional, and social lives to assist them in finding balance.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
