Dr. Ford has been absolutely fantastic in helping me form and discover the tools I need in working through issues. I've appreciated his encouragement and support with every session. Dr. Ford has been like the "Wizard Of Oz" in many ways helping me uncover the strength within me that was always there but I just wouldn't have believed it until now. An absolute professional in every way he's just as relatable and down to earth as an old friend that knew me for years. I'm happy to have found my way to better help and Dr. Ford is a paragon of exactly that, Better Help!

More about me
Licensing: Ph.D. LCMHC LPC NCC ACS Years in Practice: 3 State: New Jersey
Hello all!!! I am a person-centered counselor who is licensed in NC, VA, and NJ. I have 10 years of counseling experience and I am also a Board Certified Counselor and an Approved Clinical Supervisor. I am a Counselor Educator and have been teaching graduate and doctoral students for seven years. My clinical orientation is integrative and includes cognitive, behavioral, humanistic, and rational/emotive approaches. My clinical experience includes working with adults dealing with addictions, HIV/AIDS, racial identity development, racial trauma, gender identity development, gender expression, issues around affectional orientation, depression/anxiety, stress management, self-esteem, and members of the LGBTQ+ and Same Gender Loving communities. I also work with career/occupational concerns.
I believe in creating a brave space for my clients where they have the courage to bring their authentic selves without being silenced, marginalized, or judged. Authenticity and open communication are key to building a strong therapeutic relationship and both are a two-way street. We can challenge other, grow with each other, and work together as we travel your pathway to wellness.
About online counseling
Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
