Postpartum Mental Wellness

About Jennifer Ford

Jennifer Ford is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who holds the PMH-C, the specialized certification in perinatal mental health. Her expertise comes from both sides of the therapy room: she is a survivor of postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and birth trauma, and she knows firsthand what it means to navigate a difficult postpartum season while caring for a newborn. That lived experience, combined with advanced clinical training, shapes her approach — deeply empathetic, never dismissive, and grounded in truly having been there. Wherever you are in your motherhood journey, Jennifer meets you exactly where you are.
