Lori Ford, PhD
Specializes In:
Welcome! I am Lori Ford, PhD, MFT, a licensed Clinical Psychologist and licensed Marriage Family Therapist.
Negative mood and anxiety can keep us from accomplishing our dreams and finding joy. My style is to work collaboratively with you to understand your perspective and challenges then help you develop motivation and tools to reach your goals. I have experience using evidence-based practices and research in my work. I also enjoy using creative skills that match my clients’ styles, hobbies, and values to ensure that these changes will last beyond your short time with me.
I have been helping individuals, couples, and families work through many different challenges since 1996. I previously specialized in substance abuse treatment, health psychology, and research. I have extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, and neurodiversity. I currently work with adults, couples, and families.
Life is an amazing journey, and I would love to help you meet your goals and experience this journey with happiness!
