Ciara Ward
Introduction
Hi, I’m Ciara Ward, a Clinical Behavioral Health Therapist and founder of Ci Notes and Caring Conversations Center. I became a therapist because I didn’t have one when I needed one most. I grew up surrounded by trauma, silence, and survival. Instead of staying stuck in those cycles, I transformed them into purpose. I’ve walked through the pain, and I’ve done the work. Now I help others do the same. I work with people of all ages, backgrounds, and belief systems. I don’t believe healing comes in one form. My approach is holistic — mind, body, and soul — and rooted in authenticity. I tell my clients all the time, by me being real, I give you permission to do the same. That’s where the real work begins. Whether you’re dealing with childhood wounds, relationship challenges, burnout, grief, or feeling like you’ve lost yourself, I create a space where you don’t have to perform or pretend. You just get to be. If you’re looking for a therapist who sees you, holds space for you, and helps you walk into the version of yourself you were always meant to be, I’d be honored to support your journey.
