Great to meet you!

Hi, I am Laurie Ford, LCMHC , Christian therapist, Ministry Leader, Speaker and Founder of Crowned for This Counseling and Consulting PLLC. We are a private mental health practice created specifcally for women of faith, pastors, ministry leaders, church staff who are used to pouring into everyone else but rarely have a safe place to ego pour out. With over 16 years of Professional experience ion Mental/ Behavioral Health counseling and years of hands on ministry leading experience, I understand both the spiritual weight and the emotional cost that often comes with answering the call of God on your life.

My approach to therapy

My Approach blends with therapeutic practices and biblical wisdom to help clients with inner child trauma, navigate burnout, identity development, rebuilding identity, and creating healthy boundaries without abandoning your assignment. I support ministry leaders and Christian women who are strong in public, but are quietly struggling in private.

What you can expect from me

All of my clients can expect a therapist with integrity, empathy, empowerment, faith integrated safe space for your humanity to be validated and your spiritual life to be elevated. I create a healthy space where faith and mental health are not at odds, but work together for true wholeness and healing,

Here are Crowned for This Counseling we don't just engage in Talk Therapy we create plans, goals, objective with strategic steps and accountability so that your wholeness becomes a priority. As you Therapist I am called to support, listen grow, and help you birth.

With us your Past, Present, and future is honored, your healing is my number one priority, and your crown is never forgotten even in the crushing. THE TIME IS NOW!!!!
