Meet Ciara Schmalfeld

MFT Intern

About Ciara

Ciara is a dedicated Marriage and Family Therapy intern pursuing her master’s degree at Capella University. Her journey is shaped by a diverse background, travels, and a deep commitment to understanding and supporting others.

Having traveled extensively, Ciara possesses a profound understanding of diverse cultures, religions, and perspectives. These enriching experiences have not only broadened her worldview but have also cultivated a deep appreciation for the intricacies that contribute to individual, couple, and familial dynamics. Pairing that with her experiences in owning a business has heightened her awareness of the complex dynamics within relationships and the efforts to achieve work/life balance.

Ciara is particularly drawn to Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), having completed an externship in this evidence-based approach. EFT resonates with her empathic nature, allowing her to connect deeply with individuals, couples, and families as they navigate, achieving emotional well-being and fostering connections that endure.
