Hello. My name is Farisa, and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (#97751). I am glad you are taking care of your mental health. I utilize a trauma-informed approach combined with compassion, empathy, curiosity, and kindness to support you on your journey. I love people and their stories because therein lies a person's strength.
My approach
My approach to therapy is both humanistic and cognitive. This means I will be warm, curious, and relational. I want to collaborate with you and to develop goals and utilize practical interventions that will be meaningful in your life. I believe you should be comfortable, and your needs should be clarified so your goals can be developed.
My focus
I am comfortable working with people who have depression/anxiety, psychosis, substance use, or trauma-related symptoms triggered by life stressors. I approach each person's story with cultural humility and feel comfortable with a wide range of cultural backgrounds and experiences. I believe a person's experience is not the sum of their story, and that wellness and happiness can be achieved.
My communication style
I approach the therapeutic relationship trauma-informed, curious, and authentic. Everyone should have a space where they are understood and seen as their full self. My communication style is practical, clear, kind, and direct.
