Individual Therapy.
Dana Forrest is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker(LCSW) who specializes in providing talk therapy to adolescents and young adults who experience a wide variety of issues. Ages 16-24 offer us a unique opportunity to course correct our lives. We know we're making mistakes, following bad examples, or not getting where we want to go... and most people have not made permanent mistakes yet. Many people go through life thinking they have time to sort it out, they will figure it out later. What's the sense in wasting your own time? Why set up bigger hurdles for later? Take the time NOW to deal with it.

"Until you make the unconscious conscious,
it will direct your life and you will call it fate."

High School Senior: In Office Therapy

/

I was embarrassed and scared, because I thought someone like me, someone with straight A's, a varsity athlete, a social butterfly, was not supposed to be depressed or have anxiety. One day, as things started growing worse and worse, and a friend of mine told me I should go talk to a counselor. Although I was very hesitant, there was no question that the person I needed to see was Dana. I walked into her office discreetly and quietly because I didn't want anyone to see me go. But when I walked in, the biggest thing I remember was the smile she gave me when she first saw me. The first few times I saw Dana I was mostly quiet and it took me a while to really say anything and open up to her. I still wasn't past the fact that I felt like I shouldn't have been there- I didn't need to be there. One day, Dana asked me a question that really hit me hard, it was something I had never really saw. That's when I broke out and told her everything. I actually said and admitted some thing that I have never said or admitted before. I felt like the weight of the world lifted off of my shoulders. From that moment on, I continued to go see Dana willingly because I wanted to and because it was so helpful.

I have been seeing Dana for several months now, and even though I still struggle with my issues, I'm growing. Dana has taught me healthy coping skills, how to recognize when I'm falling into a negative state, and how to get out of it. She's helped me to understand that I shouldn't be embarrassed for being who I am, and I shouldn't let other people or things dictate my happiness. Even though I'm still working on applying these things to my everyday life, I feel a sense of security now. Now I know that I have someone that I can go to when I'm feeling alone, or sad, or even happy!
