Bonnie Fortson

As a therapist, I lead with empathy, curiosity, and deep respect for the individuality of each person I work with. I believe that healing begins in a space where you feel seen, heard, and understood and I strive to create that space in every session. My strengths are deeply empathetic that helps clients feel truly understood; strong attunement to both verbal and nonverbal cues; a calming, steady presence that supports safety and trust; ability to hold space for complexity, nuance, and emotion; spiritual; flexible, client-centered use of therapeutic tools

My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy concepts, Solution/Problem Focused Therapy concepts, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy concepts, and Internal Family Systems concepts, while always tailoring the process to your unique story and goals. I view therapy as a collaborative relationship: you're the expert on your life, and I'm here to help guide the process of insight, change, and growth.

Whether you're navigating depression, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, spiritual crisis, or just feeling stuck, I meet you where you are, with compassion and without judgment.
