About Laurie Forrest
Laurie brings gentle assertiveness, deep engagement, and a touch of humor (when appropriate) to her work, creating a safe space where clients feel valued, heard, and validated. She is especially passionate about supporting children and teens, while also finding great joy in working with adults—including high-achieving individuals and student athletes striving to balance performance, pressure, and personal growth.
Laurie draws on her expertise in attachment theory, family systems, foster care and adoption, trauma, anxiety and depression, self-esteem, and life transitions. She leans into helping clients identify their core values, explore what matters most, and seek balance in their lives. Through a creative, holistic, and person-centered approach, she tailors evidence-based practices to meet each client’s unique needs.
