Licensed psychologist Leila Forbes joins us from BASE and comes with a wealth of information, and a special emphasis on mindfulness. Her holistic approach to health, a result of her personal and professional experiences, incorporates traditional medicine and mental healthcare. Her methodology delves into understanding the complexities of the human condition and assesses what we value as human beings.
In her professional work, Dr. Forbes specializes in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and the management of chronic illness.
