About Ann Ford – Counselor

Leesburg Counselor

Psychotherapy profoundly changes lives.

I believe that the relationship or “fit” between the client and counselor is one of the most important aspects of therapy.

My goal is to create a compassionate, trusting, nonjudgmental relationship. I will help you feel understood and will offer an outside perspective and expert guidance. Together we can explore the causes and solutions to your concerns.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and psychotherapist and have been practicing for more than 30 years. I have loved living in Loudoun County for 25 of those years, and am honored to be trusted in my work with the Loudoun community.

Testimonials

I was really confused and overwhelmed when I started counseling with Ann. At first I was nervous to meet, then I looked forward to our meetings. She’s helped me figure out why I was so stressed and help me to make some important decisions, which positively changed my life. Ann is calm, warm, and always seemed interested in me and my family. D.R.

Working with Ann has been a great decision. I wish that I’d done it sooner. Ann has helped me navigate a challenging time in life, and she’s helped me to better understand impactful experiences in my life. I am better able to handle problems and life. Ann has help me feel comfortable in my own skin! C.D.

“I’m so glad I found Ann. I have had other counseling experiences, and the one with Ann has been by far the most beneficial. She is compassionate, professional, and empowering. I know myself better and am much happier. I’m excited about the changes I’ve made in my life.”

“Ann is a consummate therapist – empathic, supportive, a deft listener, and skilled, expert thinker. She provides direct, sometimes difficult feedback, and has helped me become “unstuck” after years of dysfunctional behavior. She is clearly passionate about her work.”
