Dr. Forbes, known as "The CHANGE Architect", is a multi state licensed clinical therapist. She is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Khaalida Forbes Enterprises.  This enterprise, originally established in 2010, seeks to offer opportunities for transformation in the areas of mental, emotional, relational, and spiritual health.  Using the tools of therapy, empowerment sessions, leadership development, and customized consulting, the belief is that ones emotional health can be strengthened.  As a result, change occurs in the lives of individuals, families, communities, & organizations across the Globe.

Dr. Forbes has held leadership roles in ministry contexts, as well as leading in organizations geared toward emotional health awareness and youth advocacy with an emphasis on reconciliation of team & family units.  Her endeavors have taken her around the world (Italy, Egypt, Israel, London) and she trains quarterly throughout the year to ensure that she is on the cutting edge of what is occurring in the mental health, and faith fields, across the country.

It is not often that you come across a therapist & leader that can weave the clinical, practical, and spiritual in a way that the well adjusted as well as the acutely traumatized client can identify with.  Dr. Forbes does this with equal parts finesse and innate ability.  She strives to empower people to believe that through competent and compassionate therapy, they can be healed, restored, and see significant lasting changes in their lives.  Dr. Forbes is supported in both life and ministry by her husband Chris Forbes.
