Counseling Practice – Forest River Counseling
Forest River Counseling is a mental health and addiction counseling practice located at 3523 45th Street South in Fargo, North Dakota 58104, serving clients throughout the state and in surrounding communities including West Fargo, Horace, Wahpeton, and Casselton. Two licensed clinicians lead the practice: Roberta Pytlik, LPCC, LMAC, and Tim Clark, MA, LPCC, LMAC. Both providers hold licensure in North Dakota across both mental health counseling and addiction counseling disciplines, which directly reflects the dual-focus structure of the practice’s service offerings.
The practice addresses two primary service areas: mental health therapy and addiction counseling. Clinical methods are described as integrative, with the clinicians emphasizing collaboration, education, and harm reduction as core elements of their therapeutic philosophy. A holistic approach to care guides the work, and patient education is treated as a fundamental component of the treatment process across both service lines rather than an ancillary element.
Services support individuals working toward wellness, stability, and connection. The practice assists clients in developing healthier coping strategies and addresses a range of mental and emotional health concerns through individualized therapeutic work. The practice’s name and website use forest and trail imagery as a sustained metaphor for the healing process, framing clinical work as a path navigated alongside each client over time. That metaphorical framework runs through the practice’s description of its mission and its overall approach to client care.
Sessions are available both in-person at the Fargo office and via telehealth, providing flexible access for clients across North Dakota including those in more geographically distant communities. The dual licensure of both clinicians in mental health counseling and addiction counseling (LPCC and LMAC) reflects a practice built to serve the overlapping needs of clients whose mental health and substance use concerns intersect. Insurance plans accepted and specific fee information are not stated on the website. New client inquiries can be submitted through the contact form available on the practice website.
