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.
My educational and professional background is in psychology and education, and I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families.
I'm a licensed clinical social worker based in Maplewood, NJ and the founder of canyons therapy. I can see clients who live in New Jersey, Texas, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. I am a recovering perfectionist, anxious mom, and lover of a slow-paced life. In session, you will find me casually dressed, warm beverage in-hand, and ready to hold space for your most imperfect self. Outside of session, I’m wrangling my young kids and doing my best to embrace our chaos. I enjoy being in nature, watching the latest documentary, and curating mood-setting playlists.
Hello, and welcome. As a National Board Certified Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. I believe counseling is a collaborative process built on trust, empathy, and genuine connection, and I strive to help each client feel heard, valued, and empowered throughout their journey.
I have experience supporting individuals facing anxiety, stress, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, relationship challenges, and emotional difficulties while helping clients build resilience, improve emotional wellness, and gain deeper self-understanding.
