I've been seeing Dr Forrest for close to two years now and could not recommend her more. She's wise, compassionate, passionate and listens to all my needs and concerns while offering grounded and sensical day to day advice to live by.
I went through a very difficult time during lock down where my entire life fell apart and she's been there the entire time helping guide me to rebuild everything. I ended up having to use her as a professional testimony for my custody case and I was moved how she went to bat for me in the eyes of the court. My lawyer still brings up how much she liked her.
I will always be grateful for her support and am a better and stronger person for having her in my life. I look forward to our weekly chats. We often talk about off the wall obscure philosophies and I have a blast exploring just how wide open her creative mind is. She's like a mother I wish I had growing up.

Dr. Forest has been very direct and informative. Thankful for her attentiveness to my "in between" appointment chats. She responds to them as promptly as can be expected, considering she has a life of her own, usually if I don't write I see that she has "checked in" to see if I did. You don't get that from a by local counselor!! Thank You Nancy!!
