Gretchen Forrey
Hello and welcome! Thank you for viewing my profile more closely. I am a strong advocate and very passionate about helping clients further their understandings of themselves and their relationships, as well as finding a deeper meaning and joy in their lives.
It is my belief that you (the client) are the expert on yourself and your life, and I try to have this theory be the backbone of our work together.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California and have a substantial amount of experience in working with relational issues, women, trauma, depression and anxiety, ADHD, teens and young adults, adults 65+, life transitions, career concerns and issues, self esteem issues, and other general mental health concerns.
First session
Our first session is about getting to know each other, making sure its the right fit and going over your relevant history and what you want to work on in therapy.
Strengths
I have worked in the past at a private practice, sexual assault center, schools, seniors as well as on a crisis team and this varied experience has helped me to have a broad range of skills and outlooks to utilize with my clients. I love animals and have used animal assisted therapies in some of my work in the past. I typically work most often with teens as well as adult men and women of all ages and my primary focuses have often been relational issues (communication, marriage satisfaction, infidelity, divorce, setting boundaries, communication, etc), trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, self esteem and self confidence building, career exploration, and life transitions.
