Taking the first step to prioritize your emotional well-being is a powerful act of strength. At Ivy’s Healing Path, we honor that step by creating a safe, supportive space where you can slow down, reflect, and begin healing. Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential. And through compassionate guidance and personalized support, we’re here to help you build a healthier, more balanced life from the inside out.

Hi, I’m Dr. Ciara Merriweather, a dual board-certified Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 27 years of experience in healthcare. I’ve dedicated my career to helping people across all stages of life—from children to older adults—navigate mental health challenges with compassion, understanding, and evidence-based care. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) in Psychiatric Mental Health Across the Lifespan from the University of Cincinnati, where I also completed my Master of Science in Family Practice and my Bachelor of Science in Nursing with honors. I’m licensed in the state of Ohio and fully credentialed to provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive care through a telehealth-only model. My approach to care is rooted in empathy, education, and collaboration. I believe that healing happens when people feel safe, heard, and supported. That’s why I take the time to truly understand my patients—looking beyond symptoms to see the whole person and their unique story. I started Ivy’s Healing Path Mental Health Services because I know firsthand how overwhelming and isolating mental health struggles can feel, and how important it is to have someone in your corner. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, or just trying to find balance in your life, I’m here to help you feel empowered and in control of your journey.
