INDividual Services Offerred by Mark Forman, PhD

Dr. Forman is not currently accepting new therapy patients at this time. 

I currently see individual, adult clients over the age of 21 online and over the phone throughout California, with select in-person appointments available in San Francisco. 

The fee structure - whether utilizing insurance or private pay - is the same for video conference or phone as it is for in-office psychotherapy. You must be a current resident of California to become a therapy client of Dr. Forman.

If you are curious to see if I am right therapist for you, I offer a 20-25 minute consultation free of charge for prospective clients. Please see below for contact information and to schedule a consultation. 

Individual Therapy Overview

Some individuals seek therapy because they are struggling with relationships issues or have career concerns. Others are coping with family-of-origin issues, ADD/ADHD, depression, loss, or anxiety. Still others are just looking for objective advice and a place to discuss a specific, difficult situation.

Psychotherapy is helpful in all these circumstances and can support you in your growth and change. I see my role as a therapist as one where I listen very closely to what you want from therapy and we then work collaboratively to achieve those goals and insights. Therapy can be brief or can extend for a longer period. I have experience in a wide variety of modalities and approaches to therapy, as well as in meditation and mindfulness, so I can offer a number of options to you.

Working with adults, I specialize in: 

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Childhood trauma 
• Relationship issues
• Career issues 
• Family-of-origin issues
• Sexual issues
• Spiritual Concerns

Developmental consulting is intended for individuals who have a history of personal growth work - previous spiritual practice, psychotherapy, or coaching - and who are looking to explore the next stage of their development in self, relationship, or work. Consultations can be done worldwide via phone or video conference. 

Developmental consulting is not psychotherapy, but instead incorporates elements of psychology, coaching, spiritual guidance, and professional project consultation into a hybrid approach that is responsive to the needs of the individual.  

Importantly, this work is not appropriate for individuals currently struggling with clinical depression, clinical anxiety, ongoing trauma, significant addiction, or other mental health issues. Those challenges are best addressed via a psychotherapeutic approach.
