Courtney Forbes, Ph.D.

As a cognitive-behavioral psychologist, my approach explores the patterns of thinking and behavior that impact our lives. I incorporate principles from acceptance and commitment therapy, emphasizing the importance of identifying and connecting with core values to guide change. I use these evidence-based therapies in a flexible and responsive way, tailoring sessions to fit your unique needs and goals. My therapeutic style is collaborative and rooted in genuine connection. I strive to foster a safe, accepting space where you can be fully yourself, without judgment. This allows us to ask difficult questions, begin to approach what’s been avoided, and explore new strategies to manage life's inevitable challenges. Together, we’ll work not only to manage symptoms but to move in the direction of what matters most to you. ** Telehealth appointments only ** ___________________________________________________________________________ Licensed in: DC • Maryland • New York • Virginia ___________________________________________________________________________ Ph.D., Clinical Psychology University of Maryland at College Park Doctoral Internship VA Maryland Health Care System / University of Maryland School of Medicine Psychology Internship Consortium Adult Serious Mental Illness Track B.A., Psychology University of Rochester
