Forrest Maridas, MA, AT, C.C.C.
Canadian Certified Counsellor; Art Therapist
Creative, Emotional Clarity through Deep Processing
Adult Individual Counselling and Multi-person Family and Relationship Counselling
I have worked in mental health since 2001, graduating from Antioch University Seattle with a Master’s in Clinical Counselling and a Master’s certificate in Art Therapy. I strongly believe we can all be your best selves, at times getting assistance with psychotherapy for positive thinking and behavior change.
Reduce your mental health symptoms towards an authentic, courageous, joyous, mentally healthy self and a balanced life. Together we can resolve conflicts, improve interpersonal skills/emotional intelligence, manage behavior, reduce stress, increase self-esteem, and self-awareness. I will support you to resolve concerns through emotional processing, imagery, and the implementation of psychological theory/techniques.
