Yasmine Ford

I believe that healing and growth happen best in an environment built on trust, psychological safety and genuine compassion. Working with teens and adults ages 16-65, I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma and OCD.

I view therapy as a true team approach. You are the expert on your own life and lived experiences, while I bring in specialized clinical tools and guidance to support your journey. My goal is to create a non judgmental, warm, and collaborative space where you fully feel seen, heard and supported as we work together toward meaningful, lasting change.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, gentle, and grounded in evidence based care tailored to your unique needs and goals. Because I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and OCD, my therapeutic approach is structured, evidence based and deeply collaborative.

I don't believe in a one size fits all model. Instead I integrate specialized modalities directly tailored to what you are carrying: I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help process and heal from the root of traumatic experiences, and ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), to help you break free from the exhausting cycles of OCD and intrusive thoughts. Throughout our work together, we maintain a steady, team based rhythm, combining clinical expertise with your lived insights to create a clear, manageable path toward relief.

Your first session is a relaxed, low pressure opportunity for us to get to know one another and build a comfortable foundation. We will discuss what brings you to therapy, review your history, and talk about what you hope to achieve in our work together. We will also address any questions you have about treatment options like EMDR or ERP. By the end of our first meeting, we will collaborate on a personalized roadmap for your therapy so you can walk away feeling heard, hopeful and clear on our next steps.
