My name is Foresteen Forbes. I am a clinical psychologist (Psy.D.) licensed in California. I offer telehealth services to both adults and adolescents across the state. My primary focus is on treating stress and anxiety, using a holistic perspective that considers both psychological and physical well-being.
My approach
My approach combines the practical strategies of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with the transformative Clear Beliefs Method. While CBT focuses on practical solutions and coping strategies, the Clear Beliefs Method addresses and eliminates the root causes of negative and limiting beliefs.
My focus
I focus on helping individuals of all ages manage and overcome anxiety and stress, providing support for women facing narcissistic abuse, and guiding those breaking free from patterns of unhealthy relationships. Additionally, I work with clients dealing with trauma symptoms and offer specialized support for veterans.
My communication style
In sessions with me, you’ll experience a supportive, empathetic, and collaborative environment. I create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts and feelings. My approach is both compassionate and practical, aimed at empowering you to address challenges effectively while fostering personal growth. Working with me feels like partnering with someone who truly understands your struggles and is dedicated to helping you achieve meaningful, positive change.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey to becoming a therapist has always been driven by a deep commitment to helping others. After earning a BSN in nursing from BIOLA University, I joined the Navy Nurse Corps, where I had the privilege of serving in diverse settings, including Saudi Arabia. My experiences there deepened my desire to make a meaningful impact on people's lives. To expand my ability to help others, I pursued a Doctorate in Psychology (Psy.D). I then dedicated 15 years to working at a state hospital, where I supported individuals with serious mental illness. This path ultimately led me to start my private practice as a psychologist, where I continue to fulfill my passion for helping people.
My goals for you
In our initial session, I focus on understanding your goals in detail. In subsequent sessions, I ensure you stay on track by regularly reviewing your progress and making any necessary adjustments. I aim to provide consistent support and guidance to help you achieve your objectives effectively.
My first session with you
Clients can expect a welcoming and supportive environment during the first session. We'll focus on understanding your goals and discussing how we can collaborate to achieve them. The session is designed to help clients feel comfortable and confident as we begin our journey together.
