Meet Deidra Ward

Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Addiction Counselor

Find your way back to connection

I believe everyone deserves to feel connected, loved, and confident in themselves and their relationships.

Healing begins when you face the pain, break free from old, stuck patterns, and let someone help you move forward toward the life and relationships you want.

I know firsthand how addiction impacts relationships and I have dedicated my life’s work to helping individuals and families overcome what can feel like a hopeless disease.

I’m dedicated to helping individuals and couples heal and move forward in health.

Online appointments available for residents of Colorado. Or in-person in Fort Collins, servicing northern Colorado. Close to CSU campus and accessible to Timnath, Loveland, Johnstown and Windsor.

Hi, I’m Deidra

Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Addiction Counselor

I help individuals and couples identify where past trauma, betrayal and unresolved conflict has led to isolation, whether you’re in a relationship or not. 

By addressing the root causes of pain and teaching evidence-based tools, I help my clients build deeper connections and strengthen their relationships. This process empowers them to create meaningful, lasting connections with both themselves and others.

I also specialize in helping individuals and couples manage the underlying trauma that leads to self-medicating with substances, food, or unhealthy patterns in relationships. 

Using evidence-based methods, I help clients regulate emotions and start healing from the first session.  

Therapy with me is productive, collaborative, and results-driven.
