Carlithea Farrington

I am a personable, dedicated, and genuine Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 combined years of experience as a social worker. Of utmost importance to me is to meet you where you are to determine which treatment modality fits best for your specific needs.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is integrative drawing from Gestalt, Humanistic, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal, and Systems Theory. Whether you are in constant conflict with family or your mate, having challenges at work or with a child, just adopted a child or are a foster parent who needs additional support, are having relationship or financial problems that increases your anxiety and stress levels-making it more difficult to function, I would like to partner with you to help you meet the goals that you would like to achieve. I am excited about the opportunity to partner with you to help you achieve a more fulfilling and enriching life. You have already taken the first step in a positive direction by landing on this page. I would be honored for you to allow me to support and empower you along the way. If you are ready, I am listening....let's begin!

My focus

Are you in a marriage that is no longer fulfilling or in a relationship that causes you more heartache than happiness? Do you often feel like you are overwhelmed by the challenges of life? Are you a single parent, going through a divorce or at a transitional period in life such as becoming a new parent? Are you having financial problems or other stressors that's interfering with you living your best life? Then search no more..I'm here to help you navigate through these obstacles in your life.

My communication style

My belief is that everyone should be treated with dignity and respect. In every work environment that I have worked from schools, to governmental agencies, to psychiatric hospital settings, to private practice, I make a conscience effort to show not only compassion and warmth, but also a respect and genuine rapport with my clientele. Throughout the years, I have learned that it is not enough to simply treat people the way that you would want to be treated, but to treat them the way that they want to be treated as well.

My journey to mental healthcare

Being raised with and in a family with family members who suffered from their share of mental health issues drew me at an early age to be in a position to appropriately respond and be supportive to those that I love with challenges.

My goals for you

Setting and meeting your goals is of utmost importance to me. I want you to see results, but I also recognize that you play a significant role in this. I would like to partner with you so as to make you feel supported when accomplishing your goals seems to become challenging for you to meet. With us partnering together, you feel like your goals are much more accomplishable, that you're held accountable for your actions, and you receive the additional support that you need to set realistic and achievable goals for yourself.

My first session with you

You can expect me to be open, honest, and transparent with you while getting to know not only your problems, but also to get to know you as a person.
