"The risk you are taking by seeing this man cannot be overstated. Are there people that say he’s helped them? Sure. But just know there are A LOT of people who have gone in to see this man, desperate for help, who have had their life go from bad to worse. I have even had other therapists who have worked with Jeff in the past say how toxic he is. Having seen the damage done to many people’s lives by this man I feel obligated to inform the public of the risk they are taking if they decide to step foot in his office."

"I attended therapy with Jeff for roughly 6-9 months. I left every session feel disheartened, belittled, and like I couldn’t succeed. While tough feedback is important and welcomed, there is a difference between critical feedback and putting people down. He treated me for a non-existent “addiction” and caused more harm than help. I don’t believe he practices ethically and I would never recommend him to anyone for therapy. He also tried during every session to upsell me into expensive Lifestar groups that my family could not afford."

"I appreciate the patience Jeff provides. No one comes to therapy to talk about easy topics, difficult things are expressed and discussed. Jeff is very patient and kind in discussing actions that were wrong and need to be worked through and changed. In order for there to be progress change needs to happen, Jeff is patient in helping work through that change while building confidence and strength in individuals. Although hearing that you’re wrong can be difficult and one can become defensive, it is necessary to accept and face accountability so that change can occur. Jeff does an amazing job at guiding you through this process."

"I have worked with Jeff Ford for couples therapy and I am so grateful for the healing my wife and I found through his guidance. Did he sometimes say some things I didn’t like to hear? Yes. Did I need to hear those things? Yes. One thing that I appreciated (and my wife appreciated) about Jeff was his willingness to call me out on the thinking and choices that were hurting my marriage. I understand how that can be a turnoff for those who just want to go through the motions and who don’t want their bad behavior and thinking challenged. If you truly want to change and you are willing to do the work, Jeff is the therapist you want to see. I have recommended a few friends to see Jeff over the years for both individual and couples therapy and they have had good experiences with him as well. My wife and I have also personally seen other therapists in his office and highly recommend them as well. Thank you sincerely Jeff!!"

"It has been a little while since I last attended therapy, but I am so grateful for the time spent there. The first time I ever met with Jeff, I was a shell of a person. Jeff was patient with me as I gained strength and figured out what was best for me. Sadly, I had to make the choice to end my marriage, but he stood by my side as I navigated that journey. One of the best things I got out of my time with Jeff is that I can now say my personality has come back. Yes, it took me some time to get there, but I am miles ahead of where I was when I started therapy. I am so grateful for Jeff and his expertise and kindness."
