Vanessa Ford’s bright and cozy therapy office is conveniently located on the North side of Chicago, in East Rogers Park.

Street parking is easily accessible.

Loyola and Northwestern students will find the practice location especially convenient. DePaul and Art Institute students are welcomed in my practice, and University of Chicago alumni often enjoy meeting with a counselor who is also another alum.  Ms. Ford is also a preferred provider for mental health for Loyola University.

• The practice is located between Clark street and Ravenswood.  Arthur Ave is 2 blocks north of Devon.

  The office is on a single-family home property.  When you reach the building, walk past the first/main entrance in the front (the blue door), and walk along the side of the property until you reach the cellar door.  Buzz for entry (by appointment only).

  By Red Line:

  If taking the Red line “L”, get off at the Loyola stop, and walk west down Arthur approximately three-quarters of a mile. Please note: Arthur is a side street and jogs over a bit as you walk west. 

  Or, if you prefer, walk over to Devon to catch a Devon 155 street bus, and exit at Clark.  Walk north to Arthur Ave.

  By Metra:

  Take the Metra Union Pacific/North line. Get off at the Rogers Park stop (7000 N. Ravenswood, at Lunt Ave).  Walk south down Ravenswood to Arthur Ave.  Turn left/east onto Arthur Ave.

  By Bus:

  From the west, take the Western bus and exit at Devon, walk east to Ravenswood.  Take a left/north down Ravenswood to Arthur Ave, take a right/east onto Arthur Ave.  You can also take the #155 Devon bus.

  From the north or South, take the #36 Broadway bus or #22 Clark street bus.

  By Car:

  The practice is located just a few blocks north of Devon on Arthur Avenue.  The office is located between Ravenswood (which runs one-way east) and Clark.  

There is typically plenty of street parking on Arthur, which is not zoned.

If you’re having trouble finding street parking, try going around the corner to Clark, where there are always metered spaces available.

The main practice location is close to the Rogers Park police station in district 24, around the corner from the Howard Brown Roger’s Park clinic. The office is within blocks of the Clark/Devon hardware store.
