How I Can Help
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is tailored to each client's unique needs. A personalized care plan is developed to support improved daily functioning, emotional well-being, and overall health.
Couples Therapy
Couples therapy involves the development of a shared treatment goal and care plan to address relationship concerns. Interventions may include trust restoration, respect-building, communication skills, and the establishment and maintenance of appropriate boundaries.
Family Therapy
Family therapy may involve parents, parents with children, or individuals within the same household. Treatment focuses on addressing core issues and building healthier strategies to manage challenges as a family system.

Welcome, I'm Crystal Ford
My name is Crystal Ford, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals and families facing a wide range of emotional, relational, and life challenges. My experience has strengthened my belief that everyone deserves compassionate, respectful, and individualized care.
I am the founder of Ann's Safe Haven, which I created with a deep passion for helping individuals and families who feel overwhelmed, unheard, or unsure of where to begin. I believe everyone deserves a safe space where they can be seen, supported, and empowered to heal—without judgment.
My work is grounded in compassion, advocacy, and a trauma-informed approach. I meet each client where they are and work alongside them to build insight, resilience, and meaningful change at a pace that feels right for them. I am committed to creating an environment where clients feel emotionally safe, respected, and encouraged to use their voice.
At Ann's Safe Haven, I provide:
- Individual therapy
- Couples therapy
- Family therapy
- Group services (Coming Soon)
My approach is client-centered and strengths-based, recognizing that no two journeys are the same. I focus not only on challenges but also on each person's strengths, values, and potential. I believe healing is possible when clients feel supported, understood, and equipped with the tools they need to move forward.
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." — Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)
My faith is an important foundation of my work and calling. This verse reflects my belief that even in uncertain or painful seasons, hope can exist before clarity does, and healing can begin before the path is fully visible. I honor each client's beliefs and values while offering care that respects their individual journey.
Ann's Safe Haven is more than a therapy practice—it is a place where hope is restored, growth is nurtured, and healing begins. My goal is to provide a haven where individuals and families feel safe enough to begin again.
