Getting to know Jennifer Forbes

Hi there, I'm Jennifer! Hi! I'm Jenn Forbes, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Marymount University. I provide Telehealth services in Virginia. For 7 years, I have worked with eating disorders, addiction, depressive disorders, and anxiety disorders. My experience includes general mental health inpatient, eating disorder residential treatment centers, in-home, and outpatient services. I have helped clients facing homelessness, crises including suicidality, and severe mental health diagnoses. My approach I am passionate about helping clients discover the tools they have within themselves. I believe the client is the expert in their own life, so I use a person-centered approach. I also incorporate trauma-informed, evidence-based, solution-focused interventions and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). These modalities help patients shift negative self-talk, reprocess trauma, and improve adaptive coping skills. My focus I have significant experience with eating disorders, addiction, depressive disorders, and anxiety disorders. I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, and adults of all genders and identities. My communication style I employ a warm and open communication style. I want to create a space where you feel safe to share what is on your mind and secure enough in our therapeutic relationship to receive feedback and be challenged as needed. My journey to mental healthcare I have always had a passion for helping others and giving back. Originally, I considered healthcare but was drawn to mental health during undergraduate school. I am passionate about helping clients overcome obstacles and become the people they want to be. My goals for you I believe the client is the expert in their life and that therapy can foster growth and healing.
