Getting to know Dr. Foresteen Forbes

I am a psychologist licensed in California with over 20 years of experience. I received my BS in Nursing from BIOLA University. I was a Navy Nurse for 31/2 years and served in Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War. I earned my doctorate in psychology from Azusa Pacific University. I worked in a state hospital for 15 years specializing in adults with a history of childhood trauma. I've been trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy which is a set of skills to help people manage their emotions. The ClearBeliefs Method, which helps to free one from past limitations, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps to identify and cope with specific challenges, to name a few of my treatment approaches.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Do you ever feel like life is out of control? This is a very unsettling feeling. Scary. Uncertain. Anxiety producing. The truth is there are MANY variables out of your control – but probably less than you think. One thing we CAN control is our mind, the way we perceive, think, feel, and see. These are all the result of the beliefs we have programmed into our subconscious mind. If you want to have more control over your life, you must learn how beliefs work, and then identify the ones that are blocking you from success, health, happiness, and prosperity. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
