Tiana Forbes, MSW, LGSW

Hello, I’m Tiana, and I’m glad you’re here. I provide individual therapy for adults seeking a

supportive, safe, and nonjudgmental space to navigate life’s challenges. I believe healing and

personal growth are rooted in emotional safety, self-compassion, and developing a trusting

relationship with yourself. In our sessions, we can make space for skill-building, self-discovery,

or the exploration of more sensitive concerns, at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

During my time with Grief Support Services at Essentia Health, I developed a deeper

understanding of grief and the many ways it can be experienced and expressed. I gained

experience with grief-focused interventions, responses, and the importance of simply witnessing and honoring another person’s grief. Whether you are grieving the death of a loved one, pet, relationship, or another significant loss, your grief deserves to be met with compassion, patience, and sensitivity.

My therapeutic style is collaborative and individualized. I draw from a variety of approaches,

including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed

therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing. Regardless of approach, care will

be tailored to your unique needs and preferences as they evolve throughout the therapeutic

process.
