I enjoy going to the spa, trips to the beach, music, and reading. However, my real passion is helping others. I am committed to helping you work through your pain. I want to help you process your trauma so you can have the kind of relationships you have always longed for. I believe that counseling is a tool that helps individuals transform their lives. I have dedicated my life to empowering people just like you get back in the driver's seat of their lives. I believe in a holistic approach to treatment.

Meet Your Facilitator
Willie Ford, MAED, CAMS I,
I’m a lifelong learner and mission-driven leader with over two decades of experience in workforce development and organizational strategy. My journey began in the United States Air Force, where I cultivated a deep respect for discipline, service, and the power of education to transform lives. Helping people succeed is at the heart of everything I do and my goal is always the same: to empower individuals with the tools, knowledge, and confidence they need to thrive. I believe learning should be purposeful, personal, and powerful—and I’m committed to creating environments where growth is not just encouraged, but expected.
I’ve authored and co-authored educational materials that have reached thousands of learners across military and civilian platforms. I hold advanced degrees in education and workforce training, and I’m credentialed as a Certified Anger Management Specialist (CAMS-1) and a Certified Shoplifting and Theft Addiction Specialist (CSTAS). These certifications allow me to support individuals facing emotional and behavioral challenges with compassion and structure.
