yes you can.

its used on bbpress.org , its not in button format but yeah

first you create a new page called New Topic

put the shortcode [bbp-topic-form] into that page.

now to create a button , im just going to show you how to create a link with a background so it basically is a button.

put the text widget in your sidebar

and put this html in it.

<a class="bbp-new-topic-button" href="http://yoursite.com/new-topic" "title="Create A New Topic">Create A New Topic</a>

and put this CSS wherever you can put custom CSS

a custom css plugin
jetpack custom css module
in the bbpress.css file that you could copy to your child theme.
in your child themes CSS stylesheet

a.bbp-new-topic-button {
  color: #fff;
  font-size: 24px;
  background: #222;
  padding: 10px 20px;
  border: solid #222 2px;
  text-decoration: none;
}

a.bbp-new-topic-button:hover {
  color: #222;
  background: #fff;
}
