When you feel like you're spinning your wheels, therapy can provide traction you need to get your life moving forward.
Therapy can help you learn how to stop struggling with creative stagnation, worry, self-doubt, lack of motivation, loneliness, homesickness, or the pain of loss. Therapy can help get you unstuck from repeated struggles with yourself and difficulties with others.
In our meetings, you and I will work together to identify roadblocks that keep holding you back. I will assist you in creating permanent strategies for getting past those roadblocks, empowering you to:
* Navigate life's transitions with clarity and intention
* Strengthen relationships, improve communication skills, and cultivate more meaningful connections
* Unleash your creativity and problem-solving abilities by exploring new perspectives, embracing your unique talents, and tapping into your deepest artistry
* Embody your core values and show up for life with integrity and purpose
* Process grief and come to peace with losses
* Foster resilience and mental toughness to face challenges with determination
* Explore fatherhood concerns and men's issues, so you can embrace your roles and thrive
Together, we will work on unlocking your potential to build a more complete, fulfilling, dynamic, and purposeful life.

I’m so glad I found Dennis on the Better Help platform! He has already helped me with a lot in a rather short amount of time. I really like his approach to therapy, to addressing life’s various challenges), and to the advice/suggestions he offers. He is very kind, compassionate, listens to me and helps me simplify issues when I feel like I’m spinning or can’t organize them or put them in to context. I feel like he offers the perfect mix of emotion and practicality in his approach to therapy. I always look fwd to my sessions with him and for the insight he provides. Highly recommend!

The best! Kind, smart, funny. Very helpful when I’m in anxiety state! I’ve been with him probably a year or more. No regrets. I’m navigating relationships.

Dennis approaches therapy with an empathetic, yet straight forward approach. Both of which are essential to therapy, yet hard to find. Dennis is one of a kind.

Dennis is the best therapist I’ve had. He offers me such relief when it comes to stressful and hard times and thoughts. I have bi-polar and ADHD, working with someone that understands my communication style and talks in a way I understand is so helpful. It’s nice to have someone that listens but also gives you a new way to look at things and better tools to handle situations. I’m very thankful.

Dennis is amazing therapist!
He is professional, has a calm positive manner, amazing listening skills and gives great advices. I started working with him regarding my anxiety and he teach me so many skills and ways to deal with this problem and helped me a lot.

He is positive and fully focused on every word in every session and text with deep understanding and conversations that will change your life for better.
It's a true blessing to have a therapist like Dennis!

I spoke with several therapists before Dennis, and felt like I was just spinning my wheels and not making any progress. During our very first session, I felt like I was finally getting what I needed out of therapy, and my quality of life has greatly improved thanks to his insight and the tools and practices he’s suggested for me. Other therapists provided cookie-cutter advice and techniques that didn’t feel relevant to my situation. Dennis really listens and makes a great effort to understand what I’m going through, and his feedback feels personalized for specifically what’s going on with me. After far too long feeling hopeless and stuck with my mental health, Dennis’s insight has helped me build a far healthier, happier outlook on life, and every single session helped me build a sense of hope and confidence that I’m moving in the right direction. I’m incredibly grateful for Dennis’s help. I would recommend him to anyone, especially those who feel disillusioned with therapy and insecure about their path moving forward.

Dennis has been a godsend. I was reluctant about therapy. I didn't know what to expect and I was nervous about it. But after a single session with Dennis, not only was I reassured in his ability to help me, I was actually beginning to experience the healing possible through the therapy. He is an excellent listener and offers remarkably poignant counsel. I'm blessed to have him helping me.

Dennis is the man! He and I have great conversations and I always leave the sessions feeling relieved, heard and understood. I talk about Dennis to my friends like they all know him and I often pass along his advice and insight to my friends and family. Getting connected with Dennis was one of the best ideas I had in a long time. Thank you for all you do Dennis, I appreciate you! :)

Before my first session, I was initially sceptical of therapy and its merits. However, after working with Dennis, I felt significantly better and made consistent progress during my sessions. I would highly recommend Dennis as a therapist. His friendly and relaxed style has been crucial in creating a good relationship.

Dennis is the best therapist i’ve had so far. From our first session he was able to adapt to my needs to make sure that I felt comfortable. He actively listens and asks good questions which made me realize alot of things and made it easier to work on those things later on. I definitely recommend Dennis Forfa to anyone who needs therapy, especially if you’re dealing with stress, anxiety or depression.
