Getting to know Jolene Ford
Hello, I'm Jolene, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a passion for helping individuals achieve balance and well-being in their lives. I earned my Master's in Social Work from California State University, Sacramento, and have dedicated my career to providing evidence-based therapeutic interventions and support to those seeking positive change and personal growth.
Areas of Specialization:
Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in several areas, including:
1. Substance Abuse Disorders:
I am dedicated to supporting individuals and families on their journey to recovery from substance abuse, providing guidance, and helping develop strategies for a healthier, substance-free life.
2. Crisis Management:
Life can throw unexpected challenges our way. I am here to help you navigate crises, develop coping mechanisms, and build resilience in the face of adversity.
3. HIV Care/Management:
Living with HIV can present unique emotional and psychological challenges. I offer a compassionate and understanding approach to help individuals manage their condition while maintaining a high quality of life.
4. Depression and Anxiety Disorders:
I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing depression and anxiety, offering strategies to alleviate symptoms and improve overall well-being.
My Mission:
My mission as an LCSW is to guide and support you on your path to personal growth, emotional healing, and a more balanced life. I understand the importance of setting healthy boundaries in relationships, work, and daily life, and I am here to assist you in achieving this vital skill.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I am committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative therapeutic environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and challenges openly. Together, we will work towards a brighter, more balanced future.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

I've had a number of therapists in the last 30 years. Jolene stands out among them because I feel understood or gotten. She actively listens to me and is effective in helping me process how I'm feeling, thinking, etc. She gently challenges me as well which is important. She is a good fit for me.
