Meet the Team

Welcome to a space of warmth, understanding, and growth. I am Cheri Ford, a dedicated counsellor specializing in person-centered therapy, committed to guiding individuals, couples, and teens on their journey towards emotional well-being and improved relationships.

With a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology, my approach is rooted in the belief that each person holds the key to their own healing. I blend the empathetic and non-directive principles of person-centred therapy with a variety of evidence-based modalities, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, and positive psychology, to offer a holistic and tailored therapeutic experience.

My expertise lies in creating a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard and valued. Whether you’re navigating personal challenges, seeking deeper connections in your relationships, or striving for a more mindful and positive outlook on life, I am here to support and empower you.

Together, we will explore your unique narrative, identify strengths, and develop strategies that resonate with your personal values and goals. Let’s embark on this transformative path and unlock the potential for lasting change.

Drawing from my background in education, I have a deep passion for assisting children and their families, both on an individual basis and within the family unit. I have extensive experience working with diverse cultural groups and navigating complex family dynamics within an educational context. Now, I am excited to extend that expertise to the field of counselling.

Having personally experienced the joys and challenges of immigrating from South Africa to Canada in 2019, I understands the complexities and transitions that accompany significant life changes. This firsthand understanding allows me to empathize with clients who are going through similar experiences.

My therapeutic foundation is Person-Centered, ensuring that your needs and goals are at the forefront of the counselling process. I provide support for anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem, navigating gender and sexuality, and more by incorporating techniques from different modalities to suit your needs.
