Dr. Jamaal Fortner, LCSW

Dr. Fortner is a proactive, caring and straightforward therapist. He is completely solution-oriented and is great with communicating how I can improve my perspective and understanding others. I have been to multiple therapist and he stands out because it is an extremely productive conversation. He doesn’t just listen, he helps me knock down goals and does it in a nurturing way. He will improve you emotionally and mentally and I am so lucky to have him.

Dr.Fortner was the first therapist I've ever had the pleasure to speak to, and I would recommend him to everyone I know. This man listens and gives great advice and techniques you can use outside of therapy to make sure you stay in a great place in your life. He's also a huge advocate of lgbt+ so please have a session with this man, you won't regret it
