Introduction

Hello! I’m Christy Forrester, an LMFT with a decade of experience. I offer therapy for couples, individuals, and families who feel stuck in painful patterns and want more than short-term coping strategies. My approach is relational, attachment-focused, somatic, and depth-oriented—drawing from IFS, Jungian psychology, EFT, and trauma-informed practices. I am licensed in New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Virginia, Michigan, Illinois, Washington, Vermont, Delaware, South Carolina, and Florida. I help people disentangle who they truly are from inherited patterns, oppressive messages, and stories of unworthiness that have constrained their lives. This work is about recovering your voice, returning to your inherent worth, and creating relationships and a life shaped by greater freedom, connection, and aliveness—not primarily by the limitations of the past. My specialties include relationship and intimacy concerns, infidelity, trauma, anxiety, identity and life transitions, adult child–parent dynamics, religious and cultural conditioning, and neurodiversity. I also offer LGBTQIA+-affirming, polyamory- and ENM-informed, sex-positive, and kink-affirming care.
