LCMHC, LCAS Seasoned healing for complex lives. With dual expertise in Mental Health and Addiction Recovery, I provide an integrated approach to wellness.
Peace is Possible: Healing Trauma, Addiction, Anxiety, and lack of communication skills. Whether you are a couple drowning in conflict, a teen struggling to find your footing, or an adult trapped in the cycle of substance or eating disorders, I am here to help you find the way back to yourself. I am Nan Ford (LCAS, LCMHC), a trauma-informed therapist. I specialize in helping people heal childhood wounds, break free from the grip of addiction, and—most importantly—learn to communicate with dignity and respect. My work is a blend of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MB-CBT) and Inner Child/Parts Work. This allows us to address the "here and now" while gently tending to the "back then" wounds that keep you stuck. I am an LGBTQ ally and work with diverse groups, including neurodivergent individuals and people of color. I accept Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, and United HealthCare, with options for in-network and out-of-pocket payments.
