We’re incredibly happy to support the Currie Stadium Memorial Tournament again alongside many other community-minded organizations. ⚾️💙

Currie Stadium was more than just a ball field — it was a landmark woven into the heart of our community and home to countless memories for generations of families, athletes, and fans. From summer nights at the ballpark to lifelong friendships built in the stands and dugouts, it represents connection, tradition, and community pride in such a meaningful way.

At Forward Therapy and Consulting, we deeply value opportunities to support events that bring people together and celebrate the community we care so much about. We’re honored to be a field sponsor for this special tournament and look forward to cheering everyone on in just a few short weeks!

Thank you to the organizers, volunteers, sponsors, and everyone helping keep the spirit of Currie Stadium alive.

3rd Annual Currie Stadium Memorial Tournament Bracket! Games will be played at Red Coats in Midland.

BIG thank you to our tournament sponsor Modern Realty - Midland! In each of our three years, you have been our tournament sponsor and we are grateful for your support!

We would also like to extend another big thank you to LIV1 Health for being a field sponsor for each of our three years!

Community support makes these tournaments extra special! We still have sponsorship opportunities available. If you own a business and are interested, contact Adam Wittbrodt at 989.600.2048.

At Forward Therapy & Consulting, we believe healing and growth happen best in strong, connected communities — and that means supporting the incredible local small businesses that make our community special. 💛

One small way we’re living out that value is through our Reset & Refresh snack area, where we’ll be featuring local treats for clients to enjoy during their visits.

First up: the amazingly talented team at Messenger Cookie Company 🍪🌼

These beautiful daisy cookies are almost too cute to eat… almost. They are absolutely delicious, thoughtfully made, and quickly became a favorite around the office. Sarah and Alex are not only wonderful to work with, but incredibly creative too — we’re pretty convinced they can turn just about anything into cookie form.

We’re grateful to partner with local businesses that pour so much care into what they create, and we’re excited to continue highlighting more community favorites along the way.

If you haven’t checked out Messenger Cookie Company yet, consider this your sign. 💛

At Forward Therapy and Consulting we believe healing can include laughter, personality, comfort items, and a little fun along the way.

Therapy doesn’t always have to feel so serious. 💛

Our new mugs, glass cups, and tote bags are now available in the office for $20 each

Featuring phrases like:
✨ “Boundaries Over Burnout”
✨ “That’s a Pattern”
✨ “Did You Try Talking About It?”
✨ “Big Feelings Welcome”

Perfect for your coffee, your errands, your therapy journey, or your emotionally aware era. 😉

Stop by and check them out during your next appointment — because sometimes healing looks like deep conversations… and sometimes it looks like carrying your iced coffee in a cup that makes you laugh. ☕

Taking time to be present in nature can be deeply restorative—for your mind and body.

📍 Suite 255, Eastman Place

There’s something bittersweet about taking down the very first sign.

That sign represented a dream and a huge leap of faith—one built on hope, courage, and a deep belief in the power of healing. It welcomed so many of you through the doors of Forward Therapy, then Forward Therapy & Consulting, holding space for growth, connection, and change.

Today, as it comes down, it marks something bigger than an ending. It’s a milestone.

Because of this community, we’ve outgrown our space 3x—and we’re moving into a larger office again to continue expanding the care and support you deserve. 💛

While we’ll always carry what suite 179 meant to us, we’re incredibly excited for what’s ahead. More room to serve, more space to grow, and more opportunities to walk alongside you.

Here’s to new beginnings… built on a very meaningful foundation.

It's the end of an era… and the start of something really exciting ✨

After 5 years in the original Forward Therapy office (yes, the one with the amazing natural light and the very important second door 😄), it’s time to say goodbye to the space where it all began.

This little office has held a lot—first sessions, big breakthroughs, hard conversations, and so much growth. It’s been a space Megan has truly loved.

And now, we’re growing...again.

Beginning May 4th, 2026, Forward Therapy and Consulting will be moving to Suite 255—still in the same Eastman Place building, but a bigger space that finally brings our whole team together.

Our new office gives us room to expand what we offer, including group therapy, and adds dedicated art and sensory-friendly spaces to better support the needs of our clients.

We also have several other ideas in the works based on what we’ve heard our community needs and has been asking for. We appreciate your patience as we thoughtfully build these services—we’re committed to doing it in a way that maintains the quality and care you’ve come to expect from us.

We’re so grateful for where we started—and really looking forward to what’s next.

Stay tuned for more updates (and maybe a few behind-the-scenes peeks 👀)

Re-introducing Jessica Jaycox, LMSW

If you’ve ever wondered whether therapy can actually fit your life—not the other way around—Jessica already approaches her work with that in mind.

Jessica is a Licensed Master Clinical Social Worker who has spent the past five years working with individuals and families across in-home, private practice, and community-based mental health settings. That range of experience shows up in how she practices: flexible, practical, and centered on what each person actually needs.

Her approach is person-centered, strength-based, and solution-focused. She pays attention to what’s already working, while helping clients navigate the parts that feel stuck or overwhelming.

Jessica works across the lifespan—from infants and parents to children, teens, and adults—and has experience supporting clients through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addiction, ADHD, autism, body image, and self-esteem challenges.

Her style is steady, approachable, and focused on creating a space where people don’t feel rushed or judged. She believes that meaningful change starts with meeting people where they are, and building from there in a way that feels manageable and real.

You don’t need a perfectly clear goal or the “right words” to begin. Showing up as you are is enough.

Re-introducing Allie Shank, LLMSW 👋

If you’ve ever thought, “I know my past is affecting me… but I don’t even know where to start,” — Allie is a really good place to start.

Allie is a therapist who is passionate about helping people work through trauma, life’s challenges, and all the in-between moments that don’t always have a clear name. She brings a calm, compassionate presence to sessions, along with the kind of curiosity that helps people feel truly seen and understood.

Her approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based practices like EMDR, TF-CBT, person-centered therapy, and sandtray techniques — which means she’ll meet you where you are, while also helping you gently move forward.

Allie is also LGBTQ+ affirming and deeply committed to creating a space that feels safe, inclusive, and genuinely welcoming for everyone.

She believes that understanding the impact of past experiences is often the key to making sense of the present — and she works alongside clients to connect those dots in a way that feels supportive, not overwhelming.

Her style?
✔️️ Compassionate
✔️️ Down-to-earth
✔️️ No judgment, ever

At the core of her work is a simple idea: people heal best when they feel safe, accepted, and not alone in the process.

If you’re looking for someone to sit with you in the hard stuff and help you find a way forward — Allie’s here 🤍
