Jolanda Forbes-Sheppard, LCSW, LICSW
About me
I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's meaningful transitions and challenges. My work centers on helping clients build stronger relationships with themselves and others, navigate anxiety and stress, and discover greater clarity around their life's direction.
I specialize in working with depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and the emotional weight that comes with major life changes. I'm particularly skilled at addressing communication patterns, social anxiety, and the deeper work of cultivating self-love and purpose.
My approach is grounded in authenticity and cultural responsiveness. I believe in meeting clients where they are—honoring their values, identities, and lived experiences—while creating a space that feels genuinely safe and affirming.
I'm committed to being a thoughtful, engaged partner in your healing journey. Taking that first step toward therapy takes real courage, and I'm honored to support you as you move toward greater wellbeing and self-understanding.
