About Ryan Forbes

My name is Ryan Forbes. I go by “Forbes” (in order to not be confused by the ocean of Ryan’s) but feel free to call me Ryan.

I began doing therapeutic groups, staff development and program development with ATC in the spring of 2008 and started working full time with them in fall of 2013.

In addition to my experience with ATC, I have also worked in the Community Mental Health system for 20 years. During that time I served on a variety of committees for the state of Utah and International Center for Clubhouse Development based in New York City. I have also done a short stint in Wilderness Therapy with Wingate as a primary therapist.

I love baseball hats and am always wearing one. I have more than I would freely admit but I can go almost 4 months without wearing the same one. As I grew up, a fitted baseball hat represented accomplishment as only the All-Star Team ever got them. So, I made it a goal to get as many as I could growing up. That childhood goal has spilt over into my adult life and now has become a hobby.
