Lisa Ford, MSW

Psychotherapist
MD
Hello, I'm Lisa. For several years before starting my private practice, I worked as a clinician at community-based mental health clinics, nonprofit organizations, and private practice groups across Maryland, D.C., Virginia, and Pennsylvania. As a clinical social worker, I am deeply passionate about helping children, adults, couples, families, and immigrants heal and improve their quality of life. My therapeutic approach is centered on creating harmony between the mind, body, and soul. I integrate a broad range of interventions influenced by evidence-based and trauma-based theories, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and alternative therapies. This diverse toolkit allows me to tailor treatment to meet each individual's unique goals and desires. I specialize in working with clients dealing with anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, family relationships, grief and bereavement, medical issues and physical health, multicultural and diversity issues, PTSD, psychosis and schizophrenia, stress, and trauma. My clinical interests also include trauma recovery, health and self-care, mood and anxiety disorders, grief and loss, domestic and sexual violence, parent training, LGBTQ+ issues, and cultural and feminist intersectionality. My style is empathic and non-judgmental, and I believe in the power of a collaborative therapeutic relationship. When you choose your goals, we will work together to determine the roadmap to healing, harmony, and wellness. I am here to support you every step of the way. If you feel that we might be a good fit, I invite you to reach out. Let's embark on this journey towards a healthier, more fulfilling life together.
