Judith Forrester, LPC
My passion for helping others to achieve the version of themselves that they desire was born out of the lack of confidence within myself to achieve the me that I desired. I recognized that years of fear, abandonment issues, and low self-esteem kept me from elevating to the version of myself that I was meant to be. After years of cycling through the stages of grief to mourn my past self, I allowed myself to enter the cocoon of self-acceptance, self-compassion, self-awareness, and self-accountability to emerge on the other side unapologetically confident me that is here today.
I migrated to the United States from Jamaica over 25 years ago, where I have raised my 4 beautiful and amazingly supportive children. I completed my graduate degree at Central Connecticut State University with a major in advanced counseling, before obtaining my license in professional counseling.
I strongly believe that self-confidence is a superpower, once we start to believe in ourselves... the magic starts to happen.
~I feel; therefore I am~

As a sex therapist, I help people "uncomplicate" their sexual self, explore their desires, understand arousal and sexual drives, learn about their sexual beliefs, and so much more. I treat issues such as ED, out of control or compulsive sexual behavior, sexual anxieties, difficulties in sexual identities or interests, and relational sexual hang-ups such as frequency disparities, incorporating kinks, and increasing sexual fulfillment in the relationship.
