I’m Kamisha Ford, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Sex Therapist. I provide individual therapy through Grow Therapy for adults who want meaningful change in their relationships, intimacy, and emotional wellbeing. Many clients come to me feeling stuck in repeating patterns such as overgiving, shutting down, second-guessing themselves, struggling with trust, or feeling disconnected from desire, sex, or closeness. Others are navigating anxiety around intimacy, relationship trauma, betrayal, or difficulty feeling secure in connection. My approach is warm, direct, and insight-oriented. I integrate relational therapy, attachment-based work, sex therapy, and EMDR to help clients understand what is driving these patterns and begin shifting them in lasting ways.
Our first session is a conversation focused on understanding what brought you to therapy and what you hope will feel different moving forward. We’ll discuss your current concerns, relationship history, emotional patterns, and any challenges related to intimacy, anxiety, trust, or connection. You do not need to have everything figured out before starting. You’re welcome to share at a pace that feels comfortable. My goal is to create a space where you can talk openly about things that may feel hard to discuss elsewhere, including sex, desire, betrayal, relationship pain, shame, or recurring patterns. We’ll also begin identifying goals and discussing how therapy can support meaningful change.
My approach focuses on helping clients create change in real time, not just understand patterns intellectually. Together, we pay attention to the moments where you begin to shut down, overextend, lose confidence, disconnect from yourself, or feel anxious in relationships or intimacy. We slow those moments down and work with what is happening underneath them. I help clients understand how attachment experiences, trauma, and protective coping strategies may still be shaping present relationships, self-worth, and sexual wellbeing. I integrate EMDR, sex therapy, relational therapy, and body-aware approaches to support both insight and deeper change. Clients often describe me as warm, thoughtful, and direct.
I work best with thoughtful, motivated individuals who are ready to understand and shift long-standing patterns. Many clients seek support for intimacy concerns, sexual anxiety, desire changes, erectile issues, trauma, attachment wounds, unhealthy relationship dynamics, or difficulty trusting themselves in relationships. They want more clarity, confidence, emotional security, and deeper connection, and are ready to do meaningful work to create it.
Other specialties
I identify as
Sex Therapy
As a Certified Sex Therapist, I help clients navigate concerns related to desire, arousal, intimacy, communication, sexual anxiety, erectile difficulties, shame, and the impact of sexual trauma and past relational experiences. My approach is sex-positive and grounded in a relational framework. We may explore attachment patterns, relationship dynamics, body image, stress, cultural messages, and communication around needs, boundaries, and emotional safety. This work often integrates with EMDR therapy when past experiences continue to affect intimacy, desire, or connection, supporting a more grounded, connected, and intentional experience of sexuality and relationships.
EMDR
EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps the brain process distressing experiences so they no longer feel as emotionally charged in the present. I use EMDR with clients recovering from sexual trauma, relationship trauma, betrayal, anxiety, and patterns that continue to impact trust, intimacy, desire, and emotional safety. In my work, EMDR is integrated with a relational and sex therapy lens, supporting clients in reducing triggers, shifting negative beliefs, and creating more intentional, connected experiences in intimacy and relationships.

Kamisha was a great listener and made me feel truly heard. She was able to clearly restate and reflect our discussion, which helped me feel understood. She is very open-minded, and I felt comfortable and at ease during our session.
