Heather Forward

I'm an LGBTQIA+, kink, and poly affirming therapist that believes therapy should be available to everyone. I want people to know that therapists are not pinnacles of perfection; we have our own struggles and good therapists use those struggles to become better practitioners. I chose to specialize in anxiety because I've been there. If you're looking for a nonjudgemental therapist that shows her humanity and embraces it with humor then I might be a good fit for you.

I completed specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and I'm intensively trained in Exposure and Response Prevention for OCD. I focus on the treatment of anxiety disorders and OCD with or without accompanying depression. I utilize multiple approaches while remaining grounded in CBT. I work with folks 18+ exclusively through videoconferencing so I can see you no matter where in Georgia you happen to be.

I use my training and personality to ensure you feel validated and heard. I actively solicit feedback to make sure we're going in the direction you want to go. You should leave session feeling like you've gained some valuable insights worth further introspection. I almost always give homework so be prepared to have take home tasks, as well!
