About Jeffrey Forget

Hello there, my name is Jeffrey Forget (pronounced the French way, like sorbet or parfait, soft g). I have been a practicing therapist for over thirty years, having completed my graduate training at Antioch New England Graduate School in 1990. I am currently licensed to practice in both Massachusetts and New York. I have worked in a variety of clinical settings over the years, including both inpatient and outpatient work.
When first meeting and getting to know a client, I strive to identify and use what might work best for that individual, couple or family, as all of us are unique. I believe that my most important job as a therapist is to try my best to understand my client…who they are, where they come from, where they want to go. Though I consider myself primarily an insight oriented psychotherapist based on my training, I am a strong believer in cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and mindfulness techniques.
Above all, I believe in the healing power of the human relationship. If we can forge a trusting, honest, and safe therapeutic alliance, we can move forward toward identified goals. I believe that lasting change is possible. I am optimistic. Be in touch, and let’s talk.

“I really enjoy my conversations with Jeff.<br /> He’s a great therapist and a good human.”

“We love Jeff!”

“Jeff has been great helping me since I started talking to him 4 months ago. My mental health has improved since then and I believe part of it is from Jeff’s help.”

“Jeff is a great listener, he doesn't judge, and offers advice appropriately after careful consideration. He has helped me immensely.”

“Jeff has been such a huge help to me. He truly listens to me and never makes me feel silly about my worries. He remembers things that I have said in prior sessions which makes me feel truly known and cared about!”

“Jeff has met with myself and my husband for 2 appointments and he is really easy to talk to and we are comfortable opening up. I was concerned that my husband would be reluctant but he is very comfortable. It is very obvious that Jeff is knowledgeable and has a ton of experience.”
