Felicha Laforest of Through The Forest Counseling says, “Mental health is so important — it touches on every aspect of our lives, including our emotional, psychological and social well being, and it affects how we think, feel and act. It determines how we handle stress, relate to others and make choices. In the past few years, more and more people have come to realize the importance of taking care of their mental health, and we need to make sure that mental health services remain accessible. With our new location in New Haven, we hope to give our community a more accessible way to stay on top of their mental health needs.”

Through The Forest Counseling offers their services for a variety of mental health issues, including but not limited to anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, depression, eating disorders, generalized anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder and post-traumatic stress disorders. Through The Forest Counseling emphasizes that all manner of mental health issues need to be dealt with in the appropriate manner as they can have a significant impact at every stage of a person’s life, from childhood and adolescence through to adulthood.

To ensure that their clients receive the care they need, Through The Forest Counseling offers different counseling modalities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the more common options, and this is a short-term form of psychotherapy that focuses on current issues and is founded on the premise that how a person thinks and feels influences how they behave. The emphasis is on problem-solving, and the goal is to change clients’ thought processes in order to change their reactions to tough situations. CBT can be used to treat a wide range of mental health issues and diseases.

Another important form of therapy they offer is Strength-based therapy. Strength-based therapy is a type of positive psychotherapy and counseling that focuses on the patients’ inherent strengths and resourcefulness rather than their inadequacies, failures and flaws. This focus establishes a positive outlook that helps the patient to build on their best traits, discover their strengths, improve their resilience and shift their worldview to a more optimistic one. This form of therapy focuses on the fact that a positive attitude, in turn, might help the patient have more acceptable expectations of themselves and others. More information about the many different types of therapy offered by Through The Forest Counseling in New Haven can be found on their website.
