Begin Your Mental Health Journey

Welcome to Crescent Therapy Services. My name is Paul Forrester and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I partner with individuals who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, self-doubt, or overwhelming stress. My philosophy is rooted in the belief that while we cannot always control the events of our lives, we have immense power to reshape how we interpret and respond to them.

My Services

Many people see me because their thoughts have started to feel like an "inner critic" that never rests. Using evidence-based therapies, I help my patients pull back the curtain on these automatic patterns. We work together to gather evidence, test assumptions, and identify the cognitive distortions that keep you trapped in old behaviors.

Specializations

Anxiety & Panic Disorders: Helping clients regain control from intrusive thoughts and physical symptoms of panic.

Depression & Low Mood: Using behavioral activation to spark engagement and reframe negative core beliefs.

Stress Management: Navigating the pressures of high-stakes careers and life transitions through cognitive restructuring.
