Laura E. Forsyth, Ph.D.

I offer cognitive-behavioral, somatic, mind-body, mindfulness based, and neuro-cognitively informed psychotherapy for adults. My specialty areas are the treatment of mood disorders and anxiety in adults, and counseling for college students and other adults affected by ADD/ADHD or other psychological disabilities.

As a therapist, I tend to take a trainer/coach approach. - my job is to help you be your best self and to make the changes that you'd like in a way that you can sustain. There's lots of tools in the psychological science toolbox. You can learn how to use the ones that make sense for your situation and put them into practice.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a research supported approach that starts with the idea that what or how we think about a situation and what we do has a huge impact on how we feel. In order to feel different, we often need to think different and do different. First.

In addition to using CBT, I can teach you to make friends with your brain and your body via relaxation and guided imagery, as well as a practical understanding of how the brain works.

We're likely to talk about sleep, nutrition and exercise - the body and the brain are both part of the same package! It's truly remarkable how much better equipped you are to deal with even the most complex problems when the basics are in place.
