More about Joden
- 9 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
Hi! I'm Joden Ford, a licensed clinical social worker and I have been practicing for 8 years. I have experience working with adults and adolescents who struggle with depression, anxiety, self esteem, eating disorders, family issues, relationship issues, and trauma. I utilize specific interventions in my practice such as CBT, TF-CBT, traditional talk therapy, motivational interviewing and psychodynamic theory. I approach each session with an open mind and strive to make individuals feel as comfortable as possible. I strive to be that support in someone's life and help them to feel confident, strong, and worthy.
