About Melany Forbes, LMFT

Issues like scary new circumstances, behavior patterns that seem so ingrained it’s hard to imagine life without them, and relationship troubles seeming to come from nowhere can easily leave you feeling stuck. When you’re stuck, it’s hard to find a way to get un-stuck – but I’ve seen change take unexpected shapes before, let’s find the one that fits you best.

You won’t find any judgment in sessions with me, we don’t have to pretend we are or aren’t a certain way. I focus consistently on the idea that even the parts of ourselves that bring shame or fear can help drive positive change in our lives.
I’ve seen how therapy can help change one’s life firsthand, but I also know how crucial it is to find a match in personality as well. I approach my sessions with a mix of boldness and compassion, we’ll take on the scary things but not without the tools to handle them.

I’m Level 1 IFS trained, and would feel honored to hear your story.
