Jenny Ford, LAMFT (she,her)

Are you wanting to improve an already strong relationship, revive a burned out one, work through parenting issues, or empower yourself individually? Jenny provides a safe therapeutic environment using self-compassion and empathy. She is skilled in helping clients accessing deep emotional connections and assists in uncovering individual patterns of interaction that tend to keep clients stuck. She gently collaborates with her clients to build safety and security in their most important relationships and assists individuals to help them strengthen their self-confidence and overall well-being. 

Jenny and her husband have been married 25 years and are the parents of 4 boys. Their oldest son died by suicide shortly after his diagnosis of schizophrenia. This devastating loss has created a deeper understanding of the effects of grief and sudden loss, and Jenny has a unique ability to assist others in processing grief and loss to promote healing. Jenny is a strong advocate for decreasing the stigma of suicide and addictions. Jenny also has a son who is gay, and she honors, values, and celebrates the lived experiences of sexual and gender diversity.

Jenny is a well-known online fitness professional and encourages her community to love their bodies at all sizes, and how important it is to take care of ourselves both mentally and physically. She’s created multiple workout programs including Grief Yoga.
