A bit about my approach to therapy

Amy Ford’s approach to therapy is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She focuses on helping clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and empowers them to develop healthier thought patterns and coping strategies. Amy’s practice is client-centered, emphasizing empathy, collaboration, and active participation from clients in their own healing process.
