More About Alexandra Forbes

Clinical Interests:

My clinical interests include working with adolescents/adults, couples and families. As a generalist, I have experience working with many different mental health diagnoses, but I am particularly interested in working with grief and loss, trauma, relational concerns, cultural differences and perinatal clients.

Clinical Approach:

I am a systemic therapist to my core and in this I integrate a variety of approaches in my work with clients. I believe that my clients are more than the symptoms and diagnoses that they initially present with. I find it important to explore a client’s cultural, family and community background as this is where so much strength and resilience can be found. I am a trauma informed therapist and am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I also am trained in perinatal care and find work with new parents to be particularly fulfilling.

Hobbies:

In my free time I enjoy time with family and friends. I am married and we have two toddler boys and a sweet pup. I love any type of movement, and in particular I love spending my time running, walking, or swimming. My other hobbies include cooking up new recipes, traveling, reading, writing, and music.
