I’ve been a counselor for over forty years and have worked in a variety of settings. That doesn’t make me an expert, just seasoned wood. I have a master’s degree in rehabilitation counseling, I’m a licensed professional counselor, and a certified substance use counselor. My background has been in both the mental health and substance use treatment fields, which has been a good mix since these issues often go together. I also work with couples when appropriate, especially when relationship stressors are impacting mental health or vice-versa.
I focus mostly on behavior change. That might be a change from how you think about yourself, relationships, work, or something else. I can help you explore that. My role is to support you in believing that change is possible.
I also work in an open-ended environment. There is no contract or set number of sessions. Therapy should be flexible, and everyone's frequency is different. Most people notice growth within 10 sessions.
Now accepting new patients. Hello, I’m Abigail Nobles, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over six years of experience in psychiatric nursing. My passion lies in helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, find emotional balance, and achieve lasting wellness through compassionate, evidence-based care. I provide treatment for adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma, and other mental health concerns. My approach is holistic and collaborative, focusing on the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where you feel heard.
Finding the right therapist matters. I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely heard, respected, and understood. My style is conversational, collaborative, and direct, balancing warmth with honesty and practical feedback. I work especially well with individuals impacted by trauma, chronic stress, and moral injury arising from high-responsibility environments, including veterans, first responders, and medical professionals. Many appear highly functional outwardly while privately struggling with anxiety, exhaustion, disrupted sleep, or feeling disconnected from themselves, others, or the lives they once recognized.
Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or stuck in the same relationship patterns? You may know something needs to change without knowing where to start.
I’m Todd Forsman, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 23 years of experience, licensed in Oregon, Washington, and Alaska. I offer online therapy for adolescents and adults, including individual, couples, and family sessions. I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship or family concerns. Together, we can work toward understanding what keeps you stuck and developing practical ways to move forward.

As a board-certified adult psychiatrist, I bring unique depth to my clinical practice. I earned both my MD and PhD from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, grounding my approach to medication management in advanced scientific research and evidence-based medicine.
My leadership and clinical training within the University of Texas Health System—including roles as Chief Resident, Assistant Medical Director, and Assistant Professor—deeply shaped my view of mental health. Having cared for individuals across institutions like MD Anderson, Memorial Hermann, the Dunn Behavioral Sciences Center, and Maui Memorial Medical Center, I possess the outpatient and inpatient expertise required to manage complex clinical cases with complete confidence.
I provide convenient, high-quality telepsychiatry and virtual care for adults (ages 18 and older) actively located in Texas, California, Hawaii, and Alaska.
Primary Clinical Focus Areas:
- Mood Disorders: Advanced care for major depression, treatment-resistant depression, and bipolar disorder.
- Anxiety & Stress: Targeted strategies for generalized anxiety, panic disorder, and high-stress professional burnout.
- Trauma: Compassionate, evidence-based recovery and support for PTSD.
Above all, I believe in partnering with you as a collaborative ally. My practice is a safe, sophisticated space where clinical excellence is a given, and we work together to help you rediscover hope and transformation.
