Welcome to Renewal Comprehensive Services, LLC. My name is Leslie Ford and I have been a practicing Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 25 years. I am a Certified Case Manager (CCM) who holds a Bachelor of Social Work degree from Clark Atlanta University, a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Georgia, and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Social Work from the University of Illinois at Chicago. My areas of expertise include risk, resilience and adaptive functioning following trauma. During my career I have worked in not-for-profit, private industry and public sectors holding positions ranging from direct service to senior leadership. My background includes work in crisis intervention, school social work, child welfare, case management, mental health, research, healthcare and higher education. After years of working with diverse client populations I recognized that many of the underlying, complex, real-life issues that clients faced remained largely unaddressed by the healthcare system. The toll of these unaddressed life stressors was reflected in the overall health, well-being and emotional stability of the clients that I encountered. In response to this need, I established Renewal Comprehensive Services, LLC to provide holistic counseling services for clients seeking compassionate, professional support to rebound and recover from difficult life circumstances. The guiding philosophy of Renewal Comprehensive Services is that with a desire for change, it is possible to regain your footing and change the course of your life. Our practice utilizes a strengths-based approach that aids clients in developing new insight, skills and the confidence to navigate current life circumstances and future challenges. Again, welcome to Renewal Comprehensive Services. LLC we look forward to connecting with you.
