Meet Ciara

Ciara Williams is a Registered Social Worker who helps clients clarify their goals and explore what’s not working in their lives. She believes that while she brings knowledge of how people tend to work, clients are the ones who know what’s important to them and where they’re headed. Ciara is especially drawn to Internal Family Systems (IFS), a therapy that connects with different parts of ourselves. She describes this work as a gentle way to reconnect with our impulses and resources, rather than responding from a triggered place. Ciara often works with people who feel stuck, disconnected from themselves, or overwhelmed by old patterns. She invites you to show up just as you are, and she’ll meet you there.

Booking FAQ

Does Ciara offer direct billing with my insurance? Or how does payment work?

First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs, and your card is charged, you will receive a PDF receipt to your email with all of the details you will need to get reimbursed (therapist name, license/designation, license number, address, etc). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement.

How do I know if Ciara is a good fit?

You are the expert when it comes to knowing who is the right fit. Ensure you’ve watched the therapist video at the top of their profile and see if you get a good feeling from the message and the energy they are putting out. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut! Booking a free consultation is a great first step to asses fit.
