If traditional talk therapy feels difficult, uncomfortable, or simply isn’t your thing, let’s try a different approach! As a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist, Ciera uses art-making and creative self-expression to help clients explore LGBTQIA+ experiences, neurodiversity, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
Ciera believes therapy doesn’t have to look or feel a certain way to be meaningful. They value authenticity, curiosity, and thinking outside the box, creating space for clients to question expectations, explore their identities, and figure out what works for them.
Ciera's approach is warm and collaborative, with room for humor and honesty. You don’t have to show up with everything figured out, and you certainly don’t have to fit yourself into a box to belong in the therapy room. In sessions, you can explore what makes you you and build a life that feels more genuinely your own.
I’m glad you’re here! It’s a brave step to reach out. It is my hope that you feel welcomed by me, no matter where you may be in your life. It may feel scary or intimidating to begin therapy. My top priority is making it a comfortable, trusting, and safe experience for you. I treat overwhelmed and overburdened mothers, women of all ages, and young adults.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Canandaigua
Searching for therapists in Canandaigua starts with matching your needs to the right clinical experience. You may want support for anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for specialties, approaches, and populations listed in their profiles. Some therapists use cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy. Others may note experience with specific communities, ages, or concerns.
In a smaller city like Canandaigua, local in-person therapy options may be more limited than in larger parts of New York. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in New York. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Canandaigua can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from available in-person or virtual appointments. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
