  • Student interns at Forage Wellness have passed a competitive interview process and are dedicated to excellence as Restoration Therapists. They work closely with their clinical supervisor to ensure quality of care, and they work with many insurance plans as well!

    Here are a few testimonials from current clients working with our student interns:

    “Emily has been so helpful in uncovering my inner pain cycle and experiences in my past that have ingrained certain coping mechanisms that have been dysfunctional to my adult life. I have not been a client for very long, but I feel that I am getting a very positive benefit from Emily’s help so far.”

    “Kathy has helped me to recognize patterns in my life and acknowledge past hurts, allowing me to understand the why and how of my usual responses. She is uniquely qualified to help me through reverse culture shock and working through the difficult life transition of an international move.”

    “I have been extremely happy with the care and exceptional skills Katherine has shown in our sessions. Katherine is a professional and thorough practitioner. Katherine uses visuals that I find helpful and has many resources and tools that enhance the learning experience for me and deepens my experience in therapy. She is wonderful and I highly recommend her to anyone!”

    “I came into therapy with lots of social anxiety. Kathy has been incredibly helpful with going over coping mechanism and navigating life without anxiety.”

    Working with one of our student interns is an excellent step on your journey of improving your mental health and relationships!

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have more questions about using insurance at Forage Wellness.

  • We ask that you complete your intake packet online at least 48 hours prior to your first appointment. Your first session with your therapist will be an opportunity to learn about confidentiality and consent to treatment, to share more about your current concerns, ask questions, and begin the process of therapy. Our therapists will use the first 3 sessions to assess how best to help you and will work with you on what areas to focus first in therapy. Occasionally we work with clients who would be better served by a different resource, and in those cases therapists will work with clients to connect them with appropriate community partners.
