Palm Beach Holistic Counseling offers multiple methods of healing for couples and families looking to strengthen their marriage and lives including The Gottman Method, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to name a few.

What our clients have to say

"During all of the craziness I found my life in, due to a lockdown, pandemic, slowness of work, breakup, and life in general, I found myself really having a difficult time with how my life was working. I thought it was time to find someone professional to talk to, and help me process everything. I found Palm Beach Holistic Counseling, and have been seeing Forrest for a few months now. I have found the entire experience of introspection, reflection, and useful exercises, to be very helpful;Not only in making living in these strange times easier for me, but looking to the future in a new and positive way. I would highly recommend seeing Forrest. Whether you have issues that are actively impeding your current quality of life, or you want to explore where you're going next, and what is holding you back. I couldn't recommend Palm Beach Holistic Counseling more!"

"Forrest is a fabulous therapist.  Not one of those “mmmhmmmm so how does that make you feel” types.  He has a very calming presence about him and you know he’s listening when you speak.  In the fairly short time I’ve been going to PBHC I have made so much progress already.  On a personal note, it can be super scary when you’re trying pull yourself out of a dark place following any type of abusive situation, and putting your trust in anyone is next to impossible.  You CAN trust him.  His office is a safe place and I’ve felt that way since day one.  Don’t suffer alone.  Get help, Forrest can help you." 

"Brittany" - PBHC Client 2020

"I reached out to Forrest when I felt my marriage had hit rock bottom and I didn't have the 'tools' to repair it on my own. I had never before seen a therapist, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect and was nervous that I might be hesitant to fully open up to a 'stranger.'  From my very first phone conversation with Forrest, I immediately felt comfortable and like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Although we are still somewhat new to PBHC, my husband and I have both felt a massive positive influence from our sessions with Forrest and have already recommended him to a few of our friends.  As each session concludes, I always feel as if I've taken a big deep breath and that I'm surrounded by a very serene energy.  Forrest has made a very positive impact on me personally and I highly recommend him to anyone that is struggling in any sort of way.  Don't be afraid to reach out...I'm SO glad that I did!"

"Kimberly" - PBHC Client 2021

Working with Forrest has been a wonderful experience. He is understanding, kind, attentive, and insightful. Forrest provides you with tools and feedback that helps you to gain new perspectives and insights. His support and knowledge has helped me through challenging times and has allowed me to become a better version of myself. 

Forrest is patient, understanding, and insightful. Counseling sessions with him feel more like a conversation with a trusted friend. Highly recommend him! 

I have been seeing Forrest for a little over a year and it was one of the best decisions I have made. He creates a space that feels comfortable and also approaches his clients as if they are friends. I always leave our sessions feeling lighter and more optimistic. I appreciate that his approach doesn’t feel overly clinical and that he truly cares about being present. He is truly one of a kind and a special person. I highly recommend his services.

Forrest is one of the Best! I believe I’ve been working with him for about a year now. And there has been changes in my life for the good ever since. He’s the most down to earth Therapist that I have met so far! Highly recommended! 

Forrest is a one of a kind counselor! His holistic approach, combining talk therapy with meditation, really made me feel comfortable to express what I was feeling and allowed me time and space to reflect upon myself in a positive way. His openness and compassion made my experiences and concerns feel heard, and I felt lighter and less weighed down by my own thoughts after each session. After working with Forrest I feel like I’m living more authentically and showing up better for my partner, family, and for myself. 

I have been seeing Forrest for about two months and he has already helped me so much. He gives me tools to help improve my everyday life. This is my first experience with therapy and I have felt very comfortable talking to Forrest since day one. It's like talking to a professional friend who gives great advice. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable, he really listens and cares about his patients. Life changing. Highly recommend. 

I’ve had a few therapists in the past but NONE like Forrest!!! He is honest and patient with you, cares about his clients and truly wants to see you being the best version of yourself. I couldn’t be more grateful of the progress I’ve made working with him in such a short time. He’s helped me talk through many issues and helped me open up and deal with past trauma that effects us on a subconscious level. I highly recommend him. Seriously, the best expense of my year. This is real self care!! 

I have been seeing Forrest for a little bit over a year now. Since meeting him, he has done nothing but help me greatly with any problems that have come up for me. He does so much work for me, and you can tell he really cares about your well-being. I would definitely recommend Forrest if you are looking for a therapist!
