Dr. Eric Ward, PsyD, LCPC

I’m Eric Ward, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and relationship/men’s coach. I’ve been working with men and couples for more than 30 years as both a therapist and a coach. It’s my belief that when we end up dissatisfied and not living the life we envisioned – whether generally or in our relationships – it’s often because we’ve lost sight of our goals, those goals don’t line up with our partner, and we’ve lost the emotional and psychological connections with others that make that life achievable. My process simple (but don’t mistake simple for “easy”!). I help people identify the goals they have for their lives and relationships, I help them learn or re-learn the skills they need, and I help them put these new, effective practices into place. I am married and have 3 daughters and 1 granddaughter. In my “free” time I am both an author and a podcaster. You can find my books and the podcast on this website.
