I have been in the field of mental health for 29 years. My goal as a therapist is to help you achieve ultimate happiness and peace in your life. As human beings we can not go back and change our past but we can find the tools that can help us live our lives fully and find the ways to use our full potential. I will listen to you and will try my best to support you in finding the path to happiness by practicing and using the tools and methods that are helpful and tangible.
At my first session, my clients can ask me any questions regarding my experience. After my introduction, i will do my initial assessment which also includes health questions so that I can rule out physical issues that interfere with mental health. I then take a history of client’s life so that we can determine our goals, short term and long term. At the end I present my treatment plan. I will always listen to my clients and if they have an immediate concern, I will try to find time so that their immediate need is met.
Compassion and empathy. Respect for all human beings. Being able to provide a safe environment for the clients to release their sadness or grief regarding past issues and traumas while helping them start the healing process and being able to achieve their full potential in life.
I work with adult clients, especially women, couples as well as families from any culture and back ground. I also speak Persian and am also specialized in helping couples who have interracial ok marriages.

Fariba, is incredibly warm, authentic, and compassionate. She creates a safe, nonjudgmental space where I feel heard, understood, and supported. Their thoughtful guidance, genuine care, and ability to help navigate difficult conversations have made a meaningful difference in my healing and personal growth. I'm truly grateful for their professionalism and dedication, and I highly recommend them to anyone seeking a counselor who leads with empathy, honesty, and kindness.

For me, Fariba is a perfect fit. She is warm and empowering, she helps me to see things as they are, not as I perceive them. She has used useful illustrations from her own experiences to get points across. I appreciate her insight and her experience of 30 yrs for my situation.

Fariba is very warm, easy to talk to and patient. We only had one session but it already helped me and made me less anxious.
