Julie N. Ford, LCSW, CCTP

I work from a philosophy that all emotions are “good” emotions. Like positive emotions, hard emotions give you insight into who you are and what is important to you. I’ll teach you how to manage emotions and behaviors that stand between you and the life you desire through specialized skills. I know how much courage it requires to take that first step toward vulnerability and healing. Together we will set goals and adjustments as your needs change.

I am a certified clinical trauma professional and trained in multiple therapeutic modalities, which allow me to tailor treatment to your individual needs. I believe that critical awareness is the key to unlocking the source of problem behaviors. Therefore, I offer psychoeducation into the mind/body/behavior connection. As a firm believer in the healing qualities of daily mindfulness practice, I’ll help you identify the best grounding/opening strategies for your specific preferences.
