Hello! I’m Ryan Forbes, a Licensed Professional Counselor with 14 years of experience in the mental health field. I hold a Bachelor's degree from Texas Tech University (2003) and a Master's degree from Asbury Theological Seminary (2008). My practice primarily focuses on working with adults and older teens, helping them navigate life’s challenges and find balance.
If you are struggling to be the best person you can be for your spouse or your family I would love to help.
Beyond my professional qualifications, I bring real-world experience to my work. I’ve been happily married for 26 years and am the proud parent of four wonderful children, which has enriched my understanding of the complexities of family dynamics and personal growth.
Hello and congratulations for taking the first and sometimes hardest step of looking for a therapist. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of IN, KY LA, MO, NV, TX, WA and WV. I have the great privilege of working with adolescents and adults seeking assistance in improving their overall mental health and associated challenges. I’ve been in the behavioral health arena for over 40 years and have held numerous direct care and clinical leadership roles in a variety of settings. My joy comes from helping people navigate life's challenges.
Hello, thanks for stopping by. I’m here to offer a calm, compassionate space where you can finally start to feel understood. I know life can be complicated, especially when you're navigating Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, or Autism. My goal is to help you (or your child, age 5+) manage these challenges and discover a path toward feeling more at ease and confident.
What Makes Working With Me Different? My journey to becoming a counselor didn't start in an office; it started the day I was born. Growing up as one of eleven children, I was fortunate to have many siblings with special needs—including siblings with Autism, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety and Learning Disabilities. This taught me something invaluable: true, deep patience, kindness, and compassion.
For over 20 years, I honed this understanding as both a High School Counselor and Special Education teacher.
Since I offer teletherapy only, you can start your journey to feeling better from the comfort of your own home. Our first session together is simple: it’s all about getting to know each other. We’ll talk about what brought you here, your goals, and what a "good day" looks like for you. It’s a low-pressure conversation where you can feel safe and heard.

I truly care about helping you feel your best, and I’ve got the patience and experience to see you through it. If you’re ready to start finding that inner calm, I encourage you to reach out.

After 27 years as a social worker, I still believe good therapy starts with really listening. I work with adults and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, and the stress that comes with big life transitions. My years in community mental health taught me that care should feel accessible, not intimidating. I'd love to help you find steadier ground.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Slidell
Searching for therapists in Slidell starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or stress. As you compare therapists, look at the specialties they list and how they describe their approach. Some may use cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or other methods. A therapist’s bio can help you understand what they focus on and what sessions may be like.
In a smaller city like Slidell, local in-person options may vary by specialty, schedule, and insurance. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Louisiana. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how their communication style comes across in their profile. These details can help you decide who may be a practical fit before you book.
Therapy in Slidell can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer in-person or virtual care. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated session costs before booking, read therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
