Getting to know Jimiko Ford

Hi there, I'm Jimiko! Hello, I am Jimiko Ford, a licensed therapist in NC and SC. My approach begins with a compassionate exploration of your childhood history to understand core issues that have shaped unconscious patterns and behaviors. Together, we bring these to light to help you break free and feel empowered to be your true authentic self. My approach My therapeutic approach gently uncovers how unresolved issues from your past may be impacting your current struggles, relationships, and emotional well-being. Together, we identify the source of your pain, heal emotional wounds, and transform your life so you can experience the joy, peace, and fulfillment you deserve. I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution-Focused approaches. My focus I focus on anxiety, depression, relationships, dysfunctional family dynamics, and feelings of inadequacy. I typically work with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, relationships, and grief/loss. My communication style I aim to create a warm, open, non-judgmental environment where clients feel encouraged to show up as their true selves. Working with me feels like engaging in a natural conversation with someone who can identify and illuminate distorted thoughts, helping you gain awareness and see things from a new perspective. My journey to mental healthcare I started college as an education major but found myself drawn to students who seemed to need more support at home. I shared this with my advisor, who introduced me to Social Work. I completed my Bachelor's degree and then returned to earn my Master's in Social Work from Winthrop University. Once the mental health piece was introduced, I was hooked! I loved helping others and learning about mental illnesses and disorders, which set me on the path to becoming a Mental Health Therapist.
