Great to meet you!

Hello! My name is Ryan Forrest, LCSW. I've been practicing therapy for 10+ years. My goal in therapy is to create a safe space for people to talk through their challenges and create actionable steps to care for self themselves and alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety. I will collaborate with you and empower you to unleash the strength and power that you already have within.

My approach to therapy

I am a strengths-based and trauma-informed therapist. My practice is gender affirming, neuro-diverse affirming, anti racist, and LGBTQIA+ competent.

I often work with artists, creatives, and adults who struggle with depression, avoidance, rejection sensitivity and self-doubt.

My approach is dreamy, moody, with an underlying sense of joy.

What you can expect from me

I know that finding a therapist that is a right fit for you is important. I will ask questions about what you are looking for in therapy and it will take 1-3 sessions to see if my approach is a good fit for you.
