I joined the Houston Center for Christian Counseling in
1989, coming from a pastoral background which began in 1970, and continues in a
small rural church, southwest of Sugar Land. My preparation includes a Master
of Divinity degree from Southwestern Seminary and a Master of Arts in
Psychology from Houston Baptist University. I am a Licensed Professional
Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). Most of my experience
has been with adults and adolescents dealing with a variety of issues including
marriage, family, divorce recovery, sexuality, anxiety, depression,
relationships, communication, and assertiveness.
I am married to Billie Ritter Ford, and we have four
grown sons. She is an independent Historian and also an ordained minister. We
are both Certified Couple Communication Instructors, presenting workshops
together and individually since 1991.
