Accepting Clients

Hi, I’m Ciara Ward—a compassionate therapist here to support you in finding healing, resilience, and self-discovery on your own terms.

Clinical Social Worker in Warrenville, IL

About My Clients

My ideal client is anyone ready to embrace growth, even if they feel uncertain or stuck. I work well with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions. I support those who may have always prioritized others and are now seeking to reconnect with their own needs and goals. Whether you’re navigating complex emotions, relationship issues, or seeking greater self-awareness, I’m here to guide you in creating a path toward healing and resilience.

My Background and Approach

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 8 years of experience helping adults navigate life’s stressors, transitions, and mental health challenges. My qualifications include an MSW, MCR, and CAMS-II certification, and I’m licensed in Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan. I specialize in areas such as anxiety, trauma recovery, self-esteem, identity exploration, and career development, offering compassionate guidance to help you feel empowered and resilient. As the founder of Caring Conversations Center, I focus on creating a supportive space for exploring personal growth, authenticity, and emotional intelligence. My background in social work and conflict resolution means I approach therapy holistically, addressing your needs with practical tools and deep empathy. Whether you're managing stress or healing from past trauma, I’m here to support your journey toward self-acceptance, resilience, and a fulfilling life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a therapist, I believe deeply in the power of authenticity, compassion, and social justice to drive meaningful change, both in personal lives and communities. I’m dedicated to creating an inclusive, safe space for all individuals, particularly those from marginalized communities, including BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals. My work is shaped by a commitment to mental health accessibility and a passion for breaking down stigmas surrounding mental health. In addition to my therapy practice, I am passionate about fostering discussions on equality and empowerment. My self-help book, Cliché Your Way Through Life, reflects my mission to help people embrace their true selves. I believe everyone deserves the chance to live a fulfilling, authentic life, and I’m here to support you in finding the courage and resilience to get there.
