Katie Ford is a compassionate Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) who understands the complexities of life. Many individuals enter the journey of motherhood or parenting with certain expectations — to create meaningful connections with their families and raise children in a fulfilling environment. However, the reality can sometimes be challenging and less satisfying than envisioned, leading to feelings of disconnection, guilt, or frustration. Katie specializes in supporting children, teens, and families, as well as women experiencing postpartum depression and other perinatal mood disorders. Her therapeutic focus is on enhancing interpersonal connections to alleviate anxiety, depression, and oppositional behaviors. Rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all method, she tailors her therapy approach to meet the unique needs of each individual and family. Her diverse training encompasses Experiential Therapy, Play Therapy, Attachment-based Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Trauma Focused Therapy, EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Family Systems approaches. With a deep commitment to understanding her clients, Katie skillfully incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy, and Theraplay® into her practice, creating a supportive environment where healing can flourish.
