Hello! I am Taylor Ford, a Licensed Social Worker in Illinois. I have been in the field since 2019 and specialize in anxiety, trauma, adoption related issues, and adjustment disorders. I utilize a variety of evidence-based modalities in my practice such as CBT, mindfulness, trauma-focused therapy, and Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI).

I’m a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Illinois providing individual psychotherapy to folks ages 18 and older. I have over a decade of experience and hold an interjurisdictional Psypact license to provide telepsychology services to people in 42 US states and territories and counting. I treat a broad range of mental health conditions and have extensive experience working with young adults, complex trauma, chronic illness and gender and sexual identity development.

I treat a wide range of patients including children, adolescents, adults, and families. I conduct parent education and provide marriage therapy. I am trained in the Gottman model and am grounded in a cognitive behavioral model and emphasize the formation of sound therapeutic relationships where individuals are valued and helped to aspire to their full potential. My experience includes but is not limited to a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, autism spectrum disorder and work with first responders

Let’s face it, sometimes, existing can be exhausting & I recognize that asking for help can feel scary or overwhelming. I strive to make starting therapy, & the therapeutic process, as comfortable & stress free as possible. I believe that no one knows you better than you know yourself & that we often harbor the solutions to many of our own questions. Sometimes it just takes another pair of eyes to help you see it through. I like to use a collaborative approach, which puts my clients in the driver’s seat. This gives clients the power to establish clear goals, set the pace, & explore issues on their terms while I help navigate.

Growing up without the right emotional support or with abuse can leave adults feeling a lack of sense of self..."Who am I? Am I allowed to feel this way?" This creates difficulties with decision-making and relationships, and the overall quality of life is unsatisfying. You may look “well put together” but inside you feel an empty numbness. The impact from yesterday can cause today to feel like a burden and decreases one's ability to thrive. Most times only symptoms of depression and anxiety are treated which only further avoids the core issue. We can safely address the core issues in therapy helping you gain BETTER WELLNESS.

As a child and teen mental health therapist, I am passionate about providing effective and compassionate support to young individuals and their families who are facing emotional and psychological challenges. I firmly believe that every child and adolescent deserve the opportunity to grow and thrive in a safe environment. You know yourself and your family best, and I am here to help guide and offer strategies during tough times. In addition to working with children and teens, I also love empowering and helping women and young adults.

I am passionate about empowering clients to connect with their authentic selves and their strengths in order to heal, grow, and make meaningful life changes. I utilize an integrative and collaborative approach with clients to help them identify their individual goals and provide insight, tools, and techniques to reach them. I believe working together with clients is important, and I aim to provide a calm, laid-back, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to talk and process openly.

We specialize in helping people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, life/relationship challenges or trauma to get to the root of their challenges so they can feel better for good.
