About Doug Foresta, LICSW


Welcome! I'm Doug, and I'm here to help you create positive change in your life. With over 18 years of experience as a therapist, I've dedicated my career to supporting individuals, families, and couples on their journey to better mental health and well-being.

My background spans community mental health and child welfare, giving me a broad perspective on the challenges many of us face. I'm passionate about sharing knowledge and have had the privilege of mentoring future therapists as a visiting professor at several colleges, including Westfield State University, Springfield College, Elms College, and Smith College.

You may have heard me on the radio show "Creating Change" on Empower Radio, or perhaps on one of the hundreds of mental health and wellness podcast episodes I've hosted. These platforms have allowed me to share my clinical insights with a wider audience, and I'm always excited to bring that knowledge into my therapy sessions.

As a podcaster and podcast coach, I've spent over a decade helping people "Stand Out and Be Heard" by discovering their authentic voice and developing the courage to share their voice with the world. 

When I'm not in the office, I'm a proud father of three and an enthusiastic playwright. Even after nearly two decades in this field, I remain deeply committed to helping my clients thrive.

I'm here to support you on your journey to better mental health. Let's work together to create the positive changes you're seeking in your life.
