Getting to know Joshua Forman

Outside of therapy, I’m an eclectic person with a deep appreciation for movement, creativity, and exploration—whether that’s through Muay Thai, music, art, dancing, or hiking. My diverse life experiences allow me to connect with people from all walks of life. If you're curious about working together, I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to chat.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I work with individuals facing many issues such as anxiety, trauma, depression, stress, relationship issues, addiction, neurodivergence, self-esteem challenges, and existential questions, and identity. Whether there’s one thing keeping you up at night, or you're not quite sure what’s wrong—just that something is—I meet you exactly where you are.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, struggling with identity or purpose, or navigating relationships, I’m here to help you feel seen, heard, and supported. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in trust. Together, we’ll create a space where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, and explore what’s been weighing on you. My style is person-centered and holistic: I support emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual growth. I bring my full presence to each session, and I’ll always hold space for you with sincerity and care.
