A patient-centered, whole-person approach that I've developed over the last decade in my clinical practice, treating a range of mental health issues from depression and anxiety to bipolar and attention deficit disorders.

Mental Health Disorders

Do you struggle with mood swings or motivation to get things done? Do you often feel down or overwhelmed with life?
What I Treat-Depression Anxiety Trauma
Report
In her private practice as a psychiatrist, Dr. Forest specializes in the treatment of depression, anxiety, and linked disorders; trauma/PTSD; and adult ADHD. A time limited but very intense period of time during which you feel overwhelmed by fear or worry. Immediately provokes anxiety and fear that is out of proportion to the object or situation.
Adhd
Report
The American Psychological Association (APA) first recognized Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) as a disorder in 1968. At the time, it was considered a childhood disorder that a person would "grow out of." Diagnostic criteria has been developed and refined over time, however, and we now know thatADHD is a life-long problem with symptoms that persistinto adulthood.
Better Than Cured
Report
The term "cured" isn't one we normally use in mental health spaces. For many years, the prevailing message has been that mental health can be managed, supported, treated, and classified-but not "cured." In the psychiatric field, there's no "cure" for mental disorders. The best we can hope for is to help people live with their illnesses using medication and intervention treatments.
