About me

Hi there! I applaud your courage in reaching out. I am a Licenced Marriage and Family Therapist with 25 years experience working with individuals, children, couples and families. I am a Stanford graduate with a Master's in Psychology from California Institute of Integral Studies. I offer compassionate listening, presence and guidance for people in crisis, transition, or who are seeking healing, growth, clarity, and connection. All communications are confidential.
My experience covers a spectrum of clients and settings. I have provided therapy in day treatment facilities, schools, hospitals, and in private practice.
I take a Humanistic/person centered approach to therapy and strongly believe that you have the tools you need to heal and achieve your goals, and that I can help support you in this process. I focus on your strengths and am a supportive and empathetic listener. My therapy style is collaborative in which you and I work together to discover creative solutions to presenting problems. My work draws from the counseling theories and styles of Carl Rogers, Virginia Satir and Murray Bowen.
Seeking help takes courage. I honor this and will treat you with the respect and warmth you deserve. I am here to help you "live well and be happy"!

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Camilla Ford. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Camilla has helped me through the hardest period of my life as I slowly transitioned from a very contracted and confused view to my true and real place which has more space, acceptance and courage. She listens, and is so patient with all of the repetition until we truly hear ourselves and transcend whatever we’re stuck on. She guided me to find tools that worked for me, even somehow entrusted me to find so many different teachers and books on my own by listening to my true self. My practice (turned out to focus very much on spirituality/mindfulness) has been a mix of awareness and being kind to myself. I’ve struggled so hard on the latter and wouldn’t have made it through without her help. I will forever be grateful.

Camila is incredibly empathic and relatable. She helped me to give space to my emotions and to better accept who I am. She’s extremely knowledgeable about many different topics in psychology and spirituality, and has given me some wonderful tools to help me deal with and communicate my emotions
