Catherine Forbes

Hello and welcome! I’m Dr. Catherine Forbes, a clinical psychologist with 22 years experience providing mental health services. I care greatly for the neurodivergent community and am committed to providing individualized, affirming, collaborative, effective care that enables clients to better understand themselves and thrive. I also have specialty experience working with the gender diverse community. I’m licensed in California, New Hampshire, and Maine and also hold a valid PSYPACT authorization which allows me to provide telehealth services to clients in 40+ states.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with many autistic and neurodivergent youth and adults who have taught me so much about the human experience. Their experiences, spirit and viewpoints motivated me to focus on providing psychological services that bolster the community's well-being, affirmation, and resilience. My approach is collaborative, values the unique individual, and supports growth, understanding and thriving.

In the services I provide, I start with a basic but essential assumption - that each client has worth and deserves to be valued and seen for who they are. While challenges exist and need to be navigated, I approach my work from the perspective of strengths and authenticity. I strive to provide a space where clients feel safe, heard, affirmed and supported.
