Blair Forte, MFT-LP

My specialty is quite broad, I enjoy working with married couples, who often find themselves in uncompromising situations. Therefore each requires its very own special course. I strongly encourage that my clients and I find common ground, while utilizing proper communication skills to achieve our interpersonal goals. It surely is foundational in promoting better relationships with one another and what each other hopes to gain is a goal not only for the couple, but for me as well.

I also enjoy working with the family dynamic as a whole, so together, we can find positive solutions to making home- life a more comfortable and happier environment to live in. Someone’s home should be a place of peace, comfort, joy, as well as a safe haven to retreat to and reboot for the next day’s duties and endeavors, all of which all generally takes places outside the home. Therefore, everyone’s home should be their own private castle of personal comfort and warmth. Part of achieving that goal is by effectively learning how to manage anger and stress amongst family members within the household. It will be overall beneficial to everyone, if family members are willing to do their part. It’s a skill and a learned effort that will be beneficial when carried-on and practiced outside the home as well, such as in the workplace, and other environments to sustain a degree of situational awareness and assessment to practice self control.

I also relish working with one-on-one in individual therapy. For example, one may be having a hard time at school, work, or home. Self esteem and confidence boosting can go a long way with the proper tools and techniques. It can change a person’s overall outlook on many aspects in life and self-value. One can manage situations in a more rational way verse engaging in conflict or taking the bait. We need to be selective in life and choose what is worthy of ourselves and that includes battles. It’s easy to fall into a rut but it is also easy to be happy when you allow yourself to be.

My ultimate goal upon meeting new clients is to give each client time and dedication they deserve. As we navigate together through your most challenging times, we will find the right solution that suits you best. Together our goal is for you to feel confidant and happy with the life you strive to live. So let’s take this journey together. Whether it’s baby steps and big leaps, let’s go for it.
