Diane M Forse, LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing psychotherapy in Richmond and Williamsburg, Virginia. I work with individual adults, and provide growth groups. I welcome clients with diverse racial, cultural, religious and sexual identities. People come to me for help with various mental health, medical, relationship and existential concerns. If you decide to begin therapy with me, we will work together to set goals that build on your strengths and that center on your internal, emotional experience. External problems become more manageable and answers to dilemmas become more available when we begin with your unique inner world. My perspective on psychotherapy is shaped by psychodynamic theories which promote exploration of emotional patterns and expectations based in childhood experiences with caregivers, and in other more recent close relationships. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy has provided relief to clients who previously experienced distress that was not helped by other methods. If
