Therapists in Artesia, CA

Have you ever thought to yourself, "How did I get here? This isn't the life I imagined for myself but I'm not sure how to change it."? Hi, my name is Lynn Forman and I am a licensed psychotherapist with PATH. My goal is to assist you in navigating the current challenges you are experiencing in life and to help guide you to where you want to be. I have been licensed and practicing since 2007, working with adults, older adults and teens in both outpatient and forensic settings. I have a BA in developmental psychology from the University of California, Santa Barbara. I obtained an MA in counseling psychology from Chapman University

I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Board Certified Behavior Analyst. I'm comfortable working with individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, bi-polar, substance abuse, psychosis, autism spectrum disorders and obsessive compulsive disorder. I implement individual evidenced based interventions designed to positive behavior change. I enjoy working with couples, families, parent training, adults and adolescents.

After over 15 years battling addiction and experiencing trauma, seeking relief from my own pain, I found a new way of life. Leaving the corporate world, I set on a path of service, connecting to individuals and families seeking healing of their own. Over the last two and a half decades on both sides, I gained invaluable experience working with several organizations in admissions, case management, counseling, aftercare and intervention as well as volunteering time whenever possible. Recovery is about finding healing for the individual and family while learning to communicate in a new way.

I work with many people who feel overwhelmed--by traumatic events, or simply when modern life, feelings or relationships are "too much". Some tried regular talk therapy, but their symptoms didn't shift. This is often because the stress response is stuck in the body. This can show up as PTSD, anxiety, depression, low motivation, panic attacks, substance abuse, eating disorders, etc.My clients learn what their bodies are trying to tell them and how to stop symptoms & support healthy well-being. I have a knack for working with unusual or "out of the box" folks.
