Terence Ford - Downtown Psychotherapy

History

I set up a private practice in 2011, shortly after I was licensed by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences.

Specialties

I do psychotherapy with individuals and couples. My method is fundamentally psychoanalytic, that is, uncovering unconscious needs, wants, and fears that make you do what you do--without you knowing it. Psychoanlytic work can lead to longterm change, since it deals with issues from the inside out. I compare this with behavioral work such as CBT, which deals mainly with outside behaviors. If what you want is to change something through thoughtful self examination, psychoanalytic therapy is the one for you.
