George Forsythe, LCPC

I am a retired police officer and experienced mental health therapist specializing in the mental health needs of the first responder community.

There can be times in our life where we feel stuck, or in a pit without a way out. This may be life's normal rhythm or could be unresolved trauma, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, addictions, relationship conflict, or grief / loss. It's possible you do not even know why you feel stuck. Maybe you tried to climb out on your own, only to slip back deeper than before. In my 25 year career as a police officer, I have been where many of you are. I have now dedicated my life to helping individuals find the strength and resiliency to move towards healing. I can help you find your path forward as well.
As a retired police officer, I have a passion to help first responders. I have experience working with those recovering from trauma, substance abuse-related addictions, pornography, conflict resolution, crisis counseling, domestic violence, relationship conflict, and grief using an integrative approach including EMDR and hypnosis when appropriate.
I started Driftwood Psychotherapy with First Responder's in mind. I promise you are safe here. I also volunteer as a Certified Field Traumatologist with the Green Cross assisting with the mental health needs of first responders, volunteers, and victims of man-made and natural disasters.
