Kamisha Ford, LMFT, CST, Founder of Hue & Healing, an intimacy-focused therapy practice specializing in deep relationship work for singles, couples, and non-monogamous partners. I support clients navigating communication issues, emotional disconnect, desire concerns, trust repair, and relationship transitions. With a culturally responsive, sex-positive, and affirming approach, At Grow, I help individuals strengthen intimacy, explore ethical non-monogamy, and build healthier connections that align with their values and goals.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In your first session with me, you can expect a grounded, supportive, and judgment-free space to share what’s bringing you to therapy. We’ll explore your relationship history, current concerns, and what you hope to gain from our work together. I’ll ask thoughtful questions to understand your emotional patterns, communication style, and relational dynamics, while also attending to cultural context, identity, and lived experience. This session is collaborative and paced intentionally—there’s no pressure to “fix” everything right away. Together, we’ll begin clarifying goals and identifying areas where deeper intimacy, connection, or clarity may be needed.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My approach is intimacy-focused, culturally responsive, and sex-positive, blending depth-oriented relationship therapy with practical insight and emotional attunement. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Sex Therapist, I specialize in helping clients move beyond surface-level communication toward deeper emotional and relational understanding. I work from an affirming framework that supports ethical non-monogamy, diverse relationship structures, and evolving identities. Clients often share that our work helps them feel more emotionally connected, confident in expressing needs, and aligned in their relationships—whether they are repairing trust, navigating transitions, or redefining intimacy on their own terms.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I am best positioned to support individuals who want to deepen their relationship skills, emotional awareness, and sense of intimacy—both with themselves and others. This includes singles and individuals in non-monogamous or alternative relationship structures who are navigating communication challenges, emotional disconnection, desire concerns, trust repair, or relationship transitions. Many of my clients are reflective, growth-oriented, and ready to explore their relational patterns, boundaries, and needs in a thoughtful, affirming space. I work especially well with individuals who value a culturally responsive, sex-positive approach and are seeking therapy to build healthier, more intentional connections aligned with their values and long-term goals.
Narrative
Narrative Therapy is the primary framework that guides my work. I help clients examine the stories they have developed about themselves, their relationships, and intimacy—often shaped by past experiences, cultural expectations, and relational dynamics. My experience using Narrative Therapy allows clients to externalize problems, reduce shame, and gain clarity around patterns that no longer serve them. Together, we work to re-author more empowering narratives that align with clients’ values, goals, and sense of identity, particularly in the context of relationships and intimacy.
Attachment-based
I integrate Attachment-Based Therapy to help clients understand how early relational experiences influence their current attachment patterns, emotional responses, and relationship behaviors. Through this approach, I support clients in identifying attachment needs, recognizing triggers related to closeness or distance, and developing greater emotional security. My experience with attachment-focused work helps individuals strengthen emotional awareness, build healthier boundaries, and cultivate more secure ways of relating—both with themselves and others.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
When appropriate, I lean into Emotionally Focused Therapy to support clients in accessing, understanding, and regulating their emotions. EFT-informed work helps clients recognize emotional cycles, increase emotional literacy, and develop more secure emotional responses during moments of stress, conflict, or disconnection. I use EFT principles to deepen emotional insight and promote vulnerability, safety, and self-compassion within individual therapy focused on relationships and intimacy.
Sex Therapy
As a Certified Sex Therapist, I bring specialized training and experience in addressing concerns related to desire, sexual communication, intimacy, and sexual identity. My sex therapy approach is sex-positive, affirming, and culturally responsive, supporting clients in exploring sexuality without shame or judgment. I help individuals better understand their sexual values, needs, and boundaries while navigating topics such as desire differences, sexual confidence, and ethical non-monogamy within an individual therapy framework.

Just had my first session. After talking things through I felt heard and understood. I feel we will be able to get to root cause and developing good coping tools. I appreciate Kamisha’s ability to relate.
