Getting to know Ishea Fort

Hi there, I'm Ishea! I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, supported, and respected. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where we can work together to help you navigate life’s challenges and build lasting change. My focus I work with adults and families experiencing stress, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and other personal challenges. I am committed to helping clients develop healthy coping skills, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change. My approach I believe the best therapy happens when we work together. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. Together, we’ll build practical skills, focus on your strengths, and create meaningful, lasting change. My communication style My communication style is calm, supportive, and genuine. I listen without judgment, ask thoughtful questions, and provide honest, compassionate feedback. I want you to feel comfortable being yourself and know your thoughts and experiences are valued. My journey to mental healthcare I’ve always been drawn to helping people through life’s challenges. My journey to becoming a therapist began with a passion for supporting others, advocating for those facing barriers, and creating meaningful change. Seeing the strength and resilience people have, even during difficult times, continues to inspire me every day. My goals for you Together, we’ll identify goals that matter most to you and create realistic steps to reach them. I’ll provide support, accountability, and practical tools while celebrating your progress. My goal is to empower you with the skills and confidence to thrive long after therapy ends. Our first session Our first session is a conversation focused on getting to know you. We’ll discuss what brings you to therapy, explore your goals, and begin building a plan that fits your needs.
