Dr Forrest has an amazing ability to hone in on issues, link together the underlying causes and strategize a plan for addressing everything. I’ve been so pleased by her thought provoking perspective and her dedication to helping me. She is readily available and gets back to me promptly. I would highly recommend her to others.

Dr. Forest has been very direct and informative. Thankful for her attentiveness to my "in between" appointment chats. She responds to them as promptly as can be expected, considering she has a life of her own, usually if I don't write I see that she has "checked in" to see if I did. You don't get that from a by local counselor!! Thank You Nancy!!

Dr. Forrest is amazing! She provided so much insight and advice in the short amount of time we worked together. She gave helpful, real life examples that made things much easier for me to understand. I love how honest and to the point she was with me; I needed that. I feel a lot better than I did before thanks to her guidance!

Written by L.A. on Sep 09, 2019 after counseling with Nancy for 2 weeks on issues concerning intimacy-related issues

She got right to the heart of my issues and didn’t dance around the issues as other counselors have done. She is truly an independent opinion. I absolutely recommend her to anyone who is ready to hear “real truths”.

Dr. Forrest made me feel comfortable really quickly, and it is really clear that she spends time reading what I have written and responds in a kind, aware way. She is clearly very in tune with the things I am feeling, and makes me feel accepted and as if what I am telling her is valid and OK. She has removed a lot of the stress I felt around being judged, and I now feel I am able to let her know about the things I am thinking without a second thought. It is obvious she has expertise in this area.

Written by E.R on May 19, 2016 after counseling with Nancy for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship, family, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related, sleeping, parenting, self esteem, anger, and depression

Dr. Forrest is attentive - even messaging on weekends. Her patients are always on her heart and on her mind. I've seen several counselors in person in the Phoenix area. Who would have known that my perfect counselor would be such a strong advocate and invested in my success and healing through text-based messaging from across the country. Thanks to Dr. Forrest, my psychiatrist has been pleased to update my status to "stable" in our last few sessions. I would recommend Dr. Forrest to anyone looking to find their self-worth, learn to set boundaries, and be the best contribution to society you can possibly be.

Written by S.T on Mar 24, 2016 after counseling with Nancy for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship, self esteem, and depression

I worked with Dr. Forrest for about five months. I was thoroughly impressed with her insight, compassion, intelligence and knowledge. There were some dark times for me and she was unfailingly responsive. Even in the the somewhat impersonal medium of online chat I always had strong sense of her real presence and true concern.

Written by M.Y on Oct 18, 2015 after counseling with Nancy for 1 month on issues concerning relationship, family, trauma and abuse, self esteem, anger, and career

Dr. Forrest has helped me in so many ways.
She has helped me understand many of the guilty feelings that I have felt, the things that I have done in my past, and has shown me it is ok to feel happiness, or any other emotions that I am feeling.
I recommend anyone to take her, she is truly a great therapist.
