Getting to know Anya Ford

I am a lifelong lover of creating and performing. As a therapist, I specialize in eating disorder treatment, with a focus on how both personal experiences and broader societal messages shape our sense of self, body, and identity. I am also deeply passionate about supporting individuals at different stages of parenting, particularly as they navigate identity shifts and the evolving dynamics of relationships with children, partners, and other caregivers. Whether you are navigating parenting, healing from trauma, recovering from an eating disorder, or managing day-to-day stress and anxiety, our work together is collaborative and tailored to you. My hope is that you leave each session feeling seen, understood, and encouraged in the work you want to do.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach balances flexibility with structure, drawing on evidence-based tools from CBT and DBT while also incorporating creative or expressive exercises to support insight and growth. While therapy can be challenging, it can also include humor, curiosity, and moments of joy that help build trust and deepen connection. I aim to meet you where you are, offering gentle challenge when it feels supportive and appropriate.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

What draws me to this work—and continues to inspire me—is the opportunity to show up fully in the therapeutic relationship. Therapy invites presence, authenticity, and a willingness to challenge perfectionism in ways that many other areas of life do not. I value being alongside clients in this process with openness and care.
