Janelle Ford, LMHC

I provide therapy to children ages 5 and up, adolescents, and adults. My focus is on providing a safe environment where my client feels fully respected and has a sense of agency in the therapy process. My therapeutic style is geared towards humanistic therapy, creating a collaborative environment that encourages creativity and humor with an emphasis on the authentic self. I utilize a broad range of therapeutic styles to best fit my client's individual needs. I have experience with Play Therapy, Expressive Therapy, Art Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. I have worked in a variety of settings, including outpatient, community-based, and hospitals. I work with clients who live with anxiety, depression, and behavioral disorders, as well as clients who experience the effects of trauma, low self-esteem, anger, and school truancy. I have experience working with the LGBTQ+ community focusing on gender identity, gender transition, sexual identity, coping with discrimination, and fostering authentic self.
