About

Viewing patients and himself as fellow travelers on life's journey, Andrew Forbeck brings a unique perspective to his therapeutic practice. This approach dissolves the traditional barriers between healer and patient, recognizing that no one is immune to life's challenges. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Andrew specializes in creating a safe, nurturing environment where clients can express the inexpressible and allow truth and healing to permeate their innermost being.

Andrew's expertise spans a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges, including trauma, depression, anxiety, and grief. He has a particular passion for working with adults navigating life transitions and identity formation. His specialized training as a Sexual Addictions Treatment Provider (SATP) equips him with the knowledge and tools to effectively support individuals struggling with sexual brokenness, pornography/sexual addiction, and other unwanted sexual behaviors.

With a Master's degree in Marriage, Couple & Family Counseling from MidAmerica Nazarene University, Andrew brings a wealth of academic knowledge to his practice. His undergraduate degree in Family Life and Counseling from Nebraska Christian College laid a strong foundation for his career. Andrew's commitment to continuous learning is evident in his EMDR training, which enhances his ability to treat trauma effectively.

Andrew's therapeutic approach is both comprehensive and tailored. He employs a variety of methods including EMDR Therapy, Attachment Theory, Internal Family Systems Theory, Polyvagal Theory, and a Trauma-Informed Approach. This diverse toolkit allows him to address the unique needs of each client, whether they're dealing with PTSD, abuse, emotional difficulties, addictions, family of origin conflict, or spiritual formation challenges.

At the heart of Andrew's practice is a deep-seated belief in the power of faith and spirituality in the healing process. While he respects each client's individual beliefs, he offers the option to incorporate faith into the therapeutic journey for those who desire it. Andrew views his role as a small but significant part of the grand narrative of each client's healing journey, with God as the ultimate healer, restorer, and redeemer of their story.
