Hello, my name is Jerome Ford. Marriage can be challenging, complex and difficult to navigate. It is by far one of the most difficult relationships to maintain when you consider the words “Till death do us part”, that is so often cited when couples decide to get married. Marriage is unlike any other, in that no other relationship enters into such an arrangement. Such an arrangement requires an unwavering commitment and willingness to work hard to develop and maintain a healthy marriage. If you desire a better marriage, a better relationship with your children or your parents and are tired of arguing, there is hope.
I have been providing counseling for 12 years. I focus almost exclusively with helping married couples and families restore the joy and happiness they once experienced. Additionally, I have experience working with clients who struggle with addictions and depression. I utilize a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Prepare/Enrich.
Navigating through this life can be difficult at times and no one should have to do it alone. I can not offer you a magic pill to improve the health of your marriage or family conflict. But I can walk along side you and provide you with the necessary tools to equip you to do the work that is needed to restore your marriage and family to good health.

“Addiction is an illness of escape. It’s goal is to obliterate, medicate, or ignore reality. It is an alternative to letting oneself feel hurt, betrayal, worry, and most painful of all – loniliness” (Patrick Carnes). This group is designed to break the cycle of addiction. Relapse prevention groups are often part of an addiction recovery aftercare plan and are many times held in outpatient treatment centers. Addicts seeking recovery and sobriety find great comfort in meeting regularly with others walking the same path. Addiction, by nature, is isolating and shaming, so gathering together in a group directly combats those two characteristics.
