I am Abriel Farrow and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist of 9 years. I am passionate and graced to help women overcome anxiety that looks like perfectionism, people-pleasing, and problem-solving (fixing). I help women find and mature their voice, set and maintain boundaries, lean into confidence and self-worth, and talk back to debilitating narratives! I am here to help women live authentically and on their terms!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, you can expect a light, safe space for you to discuss what brings you to therapy and your therapeutic goals. You can expect me to engage in questioning led by curiosity to ensure that I am certain of your current challenges and clear on the direction you'd like to see your life head. It is my hope that you will utilize this first encounter as an opportunity to assess if we are client-therapist compatible, as will I.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My strengths as a therapist are the way I view clients as who they are as opposed to what they are experiencing, my ability to challenge clients in a way that's gentle yet assertive, and my ability to pull out themes, patterns, and cycles that were once unrecognizable to clients.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
Enough is enough of not feeling like enough! The idea of being inadequate within yourself and other areas of your life have resulted in experiencing anxiety, depression, and feelings of being overwhelmed. You’ve been navigating life through the lenses of societal, family, and historical truths that have created strains within your thought patterns and behaviors which no longer serve you. Imagine a life where you have the ability to live according to your own standards, your TRUTH!

Narrative
My belief as a narrative is that the person is not the problem, the problem is the problem. In my practice, I help clients identify and externalize the problem that is keeping them from the version of themselves that they desire to be . As a narrative therapist, I assess unhelpful narratives that holds clients back and how they have come to be, and create a space for clients to undergo a process of unlearning and relearning. This modality helps my clients to find and mature their own voice, create their own path, and help them live a life that is safe and authentic.
Relational
My belief as a relational therapist is that, problems are not in you, and they are not just outside of you, but they lie in the relationship between. In my practice, clients are find themselves therapeutically successful as their relationship with the problem changes, even if the problem itself does't disappear. In this, my clients are empowered with tools that gives them the confidence to navigate circumstances with mental awareness, mindfulness, emotional intelligence, etc. When ones relationship with a problem changes, everything changes.
