A note from Eric

Hello! My name is Eric Forster, and I absolutely love being a therapist. I am honored to play a role in my clients' lives. I believe that when therapy works, it is largely due to a strong relationship between client and therapist. I will always respect the strength that it takes to begin treatment. We will begin by looking at the main reason or reasons why you are looking to work with a therapist. Together, we will examine those concerns, and see what can be done to make those life issues more manageable. I have worked with a wide variety of people, in particular those struggling with anxiety and depression.
