Katie

Executive Director

Today, my guide was amazing - she simply guided me to connect the dots between what I have experienced in the past and what I'm currently experiencing. After our discussion, I was able to understand much more clearly what is happening around me and how that's affecting me directly.

My guide is the best! I love that I can share what is jumbled in my head and start to process it into organized files in my mental filing cabinet. My guide has been my guide for almost a year, and I have become more clear in my thought processes and more purposeful in my goal setting/achievement. I highly recommend Forte!

My guide has been great! I would recommend him to anyone. He has a calm demeanor and listens well and hears what you are saying. He responds appropriately and is able to discern what you are saying or has the discernment to ask the right clarifying questions so that you truly unpack the issue that needs to be addressed.

My guide is a good fit for me. A good listener. She asks good questions.

Annie

Communications Director

Good experience so far, interesting platform. I'd say it has become apparent to me that I need much deeper support than a sounding board, or a space to simply reflect on emotions.

Chelsea Fourie

Director of Admissions & Communication

I'm the director of admissions & communications. I reached out because it had been on my mind that some mental health help was something that I was in need of due to many things going on in my life right now. I wasn't sure what to expect, but after speaking with my Guide, I felt a sense a relief and clarity. Having even a small amount of time to freely talk and process different things that I'm going through has helped me feel less overwhelmed and able to focus on what's going on in the present.

It was nice being able to just talk and not have someone get mad at what I am saying or make me feel guilty about how I feel.

My Forte experience has been amazing. I am really enjoying the experience that I'm having in a weekly basis, with my guide. It is more than I could put a dollar amount on. It has been amazing. I love how she asked thought provoking questions and just stretch me to be able to like, articulate things in a different light and just talking through things. It's just been amazing. I look forward to talking to her every week and I don't take advantage of the time. I utilize it well and it's just been life changing to me and for me, so I appreciate Forte. I appreciate my guide, who I absolutely love and I'm so grateful for her. Thank you.

Indigo

Middle School Faculty

I've come to love our connections weekly! It will be a year in October that we have been talking and I am thrilled with my guide's help. Her Christian values always affirm what I know. Most times she gives me a wonderful scripture or more than one to confirm what I know, but may not have scripture for it.

The introductory meeting went well. My guide was very clear on the format and purpose of the program. I felt immediately comfortable sharing where I was and the direction I need to go and the way to be challenged in my thinking.

My guide listened to me and reflected back what she heard. She offered a different perspective than the negative thoughts I was having about myself. I ended the call feeling much better about myself and my relationship with my son.

This was my first session. My guide was the perfect fit for me. She gave intentional feedback, shared Bible verses that spoke to me, and provided encouragement. I was apprehensive about a phone call versus in person or video call but the phone call actually allowed me to be more honest with the guide and myself. I cannot wait for my next call!

I didn't know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised on how easy I opened up. My guide made me feel very at ease and she is an amazing listener. I wasn't sure I was going to make another connection until I actually spoke to her. I realized how much I appreciated the phone call and look forward to our next one.

Dakota

Groups Coordinator

I was so grateful to be able to connect with my guide this past week. There was an issue I had been going in circles about, and I just couldn't seem to find my way through it. I had talked with family members, my husband, and a friend. It was actually my friend who said, "You know, you should talk about this with your guide." It's such a gift to have a rich support system of personal relationships, people who walk with you and help you through challenges. But there's something to be said for working with someone who is trained in listening, guiding, and supporting. This was one of those times when having a skilled, compassionate professional made a real difference. I was able to talk through the challenge with my guide and gain some clarity. Things weren't completely resolved, but she offered questions and insights I hadn't considered and that others around me hadn't, either. It was incredibly helpful and brought a lot of peace. So, I'm deeply grateful not only for the friendships and support I have, but also for my guide, who helped bring a moment of breakthrough. Thank you. You're truly making a difference in my life, and I'm sure in the lives of many others. I'm so grateful for you.

God knew I needed Forte as a source of guidance and support while I process through the muck and the more I have avoided all my life. Conversations with my guide help me feel less alone and hopeful.
