Our experiences in life – relationships, career, family, childrearing and community – bring us joy and fulfillment, but also challenges, stress and loss, even anxiety, and depression. Left unaddressed, symptoms and stresses we carry can contribute to poor health, work problems, psychological issues, unhealthy behaviors, isolation and low self-worth. Psychotherapy provides a safe, confidential space to heal and rediscover inner resources.

Dr. Forman’s practice is founded on 45 years’ experience providing counseling, training, publications, and international speaking.
