Providing Teletherapy in Washington, Florida, South Carolina, Connecticut, Vermont, and Delaware

Welcome to Forrester Therapy.  My name is Christy Forrester.  If you are finding yourself here you might be experiencing some challenges in your life.  I am here to help.  Maybe you want to experience more peace, reduced anxiety, heal from something that happened to you, have better relationships, heal as you grieve, solve some problems that keep recurring, or just not be so hard on yourself.  I became a therapist because therapy helped me heal in so many ways.  It can help you too.

I know it can be a little hard to think about starting therapy, especially if you’ve never gone to therapy.  Most likely you have been thinking about it for some time, but most people say they wish they had started sooner.

So what is going to therapy like? Why might we sometimes hesitate to reach out and begin seeing a therapist?

 I also find this short video pretty helpful for people considering therapy for the first time!

"There is a lot that holds us back from trying therapy... there is the idea that you have to be a little mad or harbor some huge and strange problem to go and see a therapist. It's can be hard to see that therapy isn't for a select disturbed few. It's for everyone, because it's actually entirely ordinary to be rather confused, a bit anxious, and sometimes challenged by relationships, family life, and the direction of your career. So the only qualification for going to therapy is to be a normal human being."

Asking for help can be hard, but it doesn't mean you are weak, or that something is "wrong with you", it just means that you are a human being on this planet earth and it can be a confusing place. We all have our stuff. We all need a little help. Most people feel a sense of relief to know that the things that weigh so heavily on them are very normal! 

Therapists are the least judgmental people and offer you empathy as you face struggles. I think the best way to face our issues is to see them, and ourselves, with tons and tons of compassion. Coming to self-awareness about how we can get in our own way and where we learned our habits, can be quite painful if we don't look at ourselves through a lens of compassion. And dealing with grief, anxiety, depression, anger, and confusion... need not be faced alone. You can reach out. Help is here.
