Leila Forbes

Life experiences, transitions, and relationships provide both challenges and an opportunity to grow. In my practice, I welcome adults, couples, adolescents and families who wish to improve the quality of their lives. Through my personal and professional experiences I have come to develop a holistic approach to health that incorporates traditional medicine and mental healthcare, but also delves into understanding the complexities of the human condition and assesses what we value as human beings. I view therapy as a collaborative process characterized by open communication, genuineness, exploration, and insight. I work closely with clients to identify goals that address the distinct factors that may be inhibiting life pursuits or interfering with personal, academic, or professional satisfaction and success. I try to incorporate mindfulness-based interventions, as I believe the practice of mindfulness has the power to retrain the brain’s most reactive pathways and help people develop openness to experience rich and fulfilling lives. I look forward to accompanying you on your journey of healing and empowerment.
