Sara Forrest

My communication style

My style is warm, supportive, and gentle. I attune to your needs while valuing direct communication, creating safety through transparency and listening without judgment. When you're stressed, I offer grounding exercises. When you're calm, I may offer detailed discussions or creative activities to move you forward.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist after experiencing therapy's benefits personally and professionally. Art therapy helped me cope with grief, while CBT transformed my relationship with anxiety. I find it rewarding to help clients cultivate self-compassion and greater choice in their responses.

My goals for you

Within the first couple sessions, we'll identify meaningful goals and create a specific treatment plan. We'll regularly check in on what's working and where you need more support. I'll guide you through setbacks, celebrate victories, and offer alternative resources to help you reach your goals.

Our first session

Our first session is an opportunity to get to know each other. You can expect a safe, welcoming environment to share your needs and strengths. You'll begin telling your story while I ask questions to learn more. I'll offer clear information about therapy's structure and skills tailored to you.

• Female, Gender fluid
