June M. Forde is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who has experience working with individuals of all ages. She specializes in the treatment of children, adolescents and families who present with a variety of emotional, behavioral and social needs. Areas of expertise include children and adolescents with anxiety, depression, ADHD, oppositional behavior, adjustment to life stressors, self injurious behavior and parenting education. June has a special interest in working with domestic violence, trauma and child sexual abuse.

My life-long passion is to help children, adolescents, and families heal. I work with children with a range of presenting concerns including attachment, behavior, mood and anxiety. I provide evidence-based treatments within a caring, trusting therapeutic relationship. I enjoy working with children that are considered "complex" including those who have had early developmental trauma and those who have behavioral difficulties that cause significant challenges. Helping parents to become more attuned and connected allows for healing across generations.

We all struggle at times. Sometimes life experiences can become overwhelming, cause you to feel out of control or bring you down. I am passionate about working with individuals who are healing from painful situations in life, and who feel stuck in old patterns that just aren’t working anymore. I strive to provide collaborative counseling that feels safe and connected. Whether you are having difficulty communicating your needs or emotions, facing hard choices, or lacking direction, change is possible. You don’t have to continue feeling stuck or overwhelmed, and you don’t have to do it alone.

I have over twenty years of experience working with children, adolescents, college students, families, and couples to find ways to deal with the issues life throws at them. If you are reading this, you have taken the first step towards an improved lifestyle. Each person has her/his own perspective and is treated as an individually and unique person. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, behavior issues, PTSD, and problems related to adjusting to specific life issues. I will treat you with respect and dignity in a confidential setting. The relationship you have with your therapist is of utmost importance.

When a person is faced with life stressors, it can be hard to know how to "act" or "present themselves." An ideal client is one who recognizes that something is not right and takes the first step in seeking help. That is the most difficult part. They recognize the way they are feeling is not how they want or need to feel. It takes courage to ask for help and I understand the process of finding a therapist can be overwhelming. I am proud of you for taking the first steps towards a positive change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you through your journey.

You can see your relationship with your significant other declining and you've tried everything. At your worst, you have fights that last for days on end without any sort of resolution. At your best, you seem to just be roommates and lacking any emotional and/or physical intimacy that you once connected on. You know that this relationship should be your priority, but how are you supposed to do that while you're juggling a full-time job, being the leader of your household, and raising up your children? You simply can't think too much about how overwhelmed you are or you find yourself crying and feeling hopeless.

I take an inviting approach to counseling, and collaborate with my clients in their healing. I believe people to be resilient, and know that we all get “stuck” sometimes. I work with my clients to identify their strengths and resources to get “unstuck” and move toward thriving in their lives. I see individuals from all walks of life struggling with a variety of stressors from depression, traumatic experiences, life transitions, grief and loss, anxiety, burnout/resilience, relationship strain, to any other issue that could be a road block to living a fulfilling life.

I believe genuine connection is an essential part of our wellness, healing, and growth. My hope is to create safe space for you to unapologetically be yourself through support, validation, and even a healthy dose of humor. I strive to help you feel heard and understood while you work toward your unique goals. I can help you navigate challenges and roadblocks that may be impacting you individually, such as difficult relationships or lack of purpose. I'll also help you consider how broader sources of stress impact you, such as systems of oppression and navigating our difficult world.

Accepting New Clients. Understanding ourselves requires courage. Each of us have shame, pain, and broken relationships. At times it can feel overwhelming to face these places in our lives alone. Counseling offers a safe, confidential, and relational space for you to come and understand what has/is happening in your life. My hope is that you may understand yourself better and come to trust yourself. As you care for yourself, you will find that forging safer, healthier, and more satisfying relationships with others is possible. I am a trained relational psychotherapist; I work with adolescents and adults in the Fargo/Moorhead area.

I specialize in working with people who have experienced trauma or verbal, emotional, physical or sexual abuse in their families or close relationships. Particularly when abuse happens earlier in life or over a long period, those suffering may develop various symptoms including depression, anxiety, low self esteem, self harm, substance use, and anger issues. I view symptoms as ways of coping that have helped you survive so far. We collaborate in therapy to help you find new ways to relate to yourself and others, and create a more meaningful and satisfying life, however that might look for you.

Every person brings a different story into therapy and my goal as a counselor is to create a safe space for you to explore and understand your story.
