About Jeffrey Forget
Jeffrey Forget (pronounced the French way, like sorbet or parfait with a soft g) brings over three decades of clinical experience to his psychotherapy practice. He completed graduate training at Antioch New England Graduate School in 1990 and is licensed to practice as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - in both Massachusetts and New York. Over a long career he has worked in a range of clinical settings, including inpatient and outpatient programs, gaining experience with individuals, couples, and families.
Jeffrey approaches each new relationship by trying to understand who a person is, where they come from, and where they want to go. He describes himself as primarily an insight-oriented psychotherapist while also drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavioral approaches, and mindfulness practices to meet the needs of each client. He adapts his methods to what is likely to work best for an individual, couple, or family, combining psychodynamic perspective with practical strategies when appropriate.
Central to his work is a belief in the healing potential of the therapeutic relationship. By building a trusting, honest, and collaborative alliance, he aims to help clients move toward their identified goals and sustain lasting change. Jeffrey has developed particular practice strengths addressing stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, grief, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related matters, parenting challenges, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and ADHD. He also focuses on abandonment, aging and geriatric issues, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, commitment and communication problems, family of origin and fatherhood issues, isolation and loneliness, jealousy, veteran and armed forces matters, mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and personality disorders.
After more than 32 years in the field, Jeffrey remains optimistic about the possibility of meaningful change through therapy. He is not currently accepting new clients and does not work with international clients, but he encourages those seeking a thoughtful, experienced clinician to learn more about his approach.
