Claira Ford, LMHC, LPC

Claira Ford, LMHC, LPC

Psychotherapist
2344 Hansen Ln, Unit 1, Tallahassee, FL
I hold a master’s degree in School Counseling from George Washington University and bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and English Literature from Florida State University. I have over ten years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families. Before starting my own practice in Tallahassee I worked in a group private practice, community outpatient settings, and special education schools in the District of Columbia and northern Virginia. I am a trauma informed therapist and work with children, teens, and adults who have endured a range of traumatic experiences. I use modalities such as, EMDR, mindfulness based, CBT, Psychodynamic, play therapy and other expressive approaches when appropriate. I am a Registered Play Therapist which means I have received over two years of post-masters play therapy training, supervision, and clinical hours to become certified. I participate in continuing education and consultation to keep my certification and skills up to date. As a Registered Play Therapist, I use play with children to help them express and process their internal world. Play therapy is developmentally appropriate and is a natural form of communication for children. Play allows children to share their thoughts and feelings when they may not have the language or know how to verbalize their experiences.
