Founder & Clinical Lead | Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
I'm Robert Ford, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of Now U Talking. With experience in outpatient and residential mental health settings, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation, relationships, and life transitions. My approach is relational, practical, and collaborative. I believe therapy should provide a space to feel understood while also helping you develop the insight, skills, and confidence to create meaningful change. I strive to meet each person where they are, consider the impact of their relationships, culture, and experiences, and help them move toward the life and relationships they want.
clinical approach is equally flexible, creative, and traditional. I utilize elements of Client-Centered, Cognitive-Behavioral, Strength-based and Solution-Focused therapy techniques as well as Mindfulness to assist my clients in reaching their treatment goals.
I believe breaking the monotony of talk therapy and actually doing things outside of the traditional couch “talk therapy” will help foster change. I have experience providing therapy in the outpatient and residential setting in community mental health. My work in the residential setting includes providing trauma treatment for individuals that have endured the pain of childhood abuse and exposure to gang and community violence.
My overall goal is to ensure that all of my clients have a meaningful and transitional experience. I bring my full authentic self into each session, creating a safe space to connect with you and together we can create the life you desire to have.
Feel free to contact me for a free 15 minute consultation, which serves as an opportunity for me to hear about your problem, for you to ask questions, and to confirm if we will be a good team.
