Great to meet you!

I’m Laquanta Ford, founder of Linking Lives Forever Consulting Services. I specialize in clinical social work practices, with a focus on providing compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals seeking mental health services. I earned my master's in social work degree from Clark Atlanta University, and I also completed an additional certification as a Master Addiction Counselor. I bring 12 years of experience to my practice and have worked with diverse populations to include active-duty service members and veterans ensuring a tailored approach for every client’s unique needs.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Over the years, I have honed my skills in evidence-based therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, cognitive-processing therapy, prolonged exposure, and motivational interviewing, and I am dedicated to staying up to date with the latest research and techniques in my field.

What you can expect from our first session

I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, stress management, sleep hygiene, and I take a holistic approach that combines both psychological and physical strategies to help clients achieve lasting change. Whether you’re seeking support with life stresses, or looking to make positive shifts in your life, I am here to guide and support you.

I understand that seeking professional help can feel like a big step, and I am committed to creating a comfortable, non-judgmental environment where we can work together to reach your goals.

If you’re ready to get started or have any questions, feel free to reach out. I look forward to working with you!
