About

Dorothy Forbes-Sack, LCSW

My two favorite sounds are a good belly laugh and aspen leaves clapping in the wind. Some insight into my dichotomous nature. My name is Dorothy Forbes Sack. I’m a mom, wife, sister, daughter, friend, Licensed Clinical Social Worker.  

I created Joy Practice after I learned that my son, Andrew, has what doctors are calling a severe and lifelong disability. News that broke me open. The despair I felt in the days following this news was incomparable to anything I had experienced before. There was no escaping it, so for the first time in my life, I let my sadness and fear swallow me whole. And then something incredible happened. I found joy. Like, absolute, everything is going to be ok, the universe has your back, JOY. I can’t explain but I will try and that’s what Joy Practice is about.  

Thank you for being here.
