Grace Ford, LMHC
Psychotherapist
(they/she)
I work with people who want to make change in themselves and the world. I enjoy holding space for people who are highly sensitive, justice-oriented, deeply creative; don’t fit the boxes society has constructed for them; and may carry a heavy load of personal, generational, or identity-based trauma.
My own journey has led me to focus on exploring marginalized and intersectional identities. I work with queer and trans folks and multicultural people who live in the in-between spaces and want to thrive as their full selves.
My framework is feminist, liberatory and imaginal.
Approaches to treatment - EMDR, Ego State, Parts Work, PolyVagal Theory Informed, Body-Center and Somatics, Self Compassion and Mindfulness.
Formal training: Masters of Counseling Psychology, Meridian University, 2018. Gestalt and Psychosynthesis Counseling Training, META-Center, Norway 2012. EMRD Basic Training, 2021.
