Hi there, I'm Farah Ali. I am a licensed clinical social worker, psychotherapist, and dedicated advocate for my clients. My educational foundation is based in psychology and social justice, having earned my master's degree in social work with a dual concentration in community practice and clinical mental health. Driven by a strong commitment to human rights and social justice, I am dedicated to advocating for every individual I work with and the communities I am part of. My Core Principles as a Therapist: Focusing on Strengths & Empowerment: Central to our work is helping you to more deeply connect to—and really use—your inherent strengths. This means looking for growth opportunities where some might find roadblocks and accessing both internal and external resources to help you make the changes you want to see in your life. Working for Comprehensive Wellness: Therapy is a place where we can work toward mental and emotional wellness, learn how to foster positive relationships, and discover a greater sense of balance and ease in your day-to-day life. Promoting Connection & Authenticity: The relationship we have is vital, which is why I work hard to make sure our relationship is a nurturing space for meaningful growth. Creating Safety in Being Seen: I strive to make our sessions a place where every emotion is valued, encouraged, and supported—yes, even the “bad” or “undesirable” emotions. This is the space we cultivate together in our work, and space that is here to help you more deeply see yourself, and be seen in your authenticity.

I am a person-centered, solution focused therapist. What that means is that my relationship with clients is focused on compassion, empathy, respect, trust and being real, there is no judgement here. I make counseling open and as easy as possible, by establishing a safe space for healing and growth that offers confidentiality, and room to gain insight and awareness. Therapy work may be tough but talking to your therapist should never be difficult or awkward.

Hi. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Houston, Texas and owner of CAPRICORN THERAPEUTIC SERVICES PLLC. I received my Masters of Human Relations (MHR) from the University of Oklahoma in 2007 and obtained by first license to practice as a Licensed Professional (LPC) in Oklahoma in 2010 and have been practicing since then. In 2021. I became licensed to practice in Texas and had my first experience in online counseling. In 2023, I obtained Nevada LPC license. I strive to create a nonjudmental, and welcoming environment for young and older adults struggling with various life challenges which include relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and PTSD; to explore the root causes of these challenges and work towards achieving a great mental-being. Therapy is the beginning of an individual's journey to living a full and meaningful life, after experiencing different challenges in life that got them stuck. Working with individuals on this journey is truly a privilege and one that I take with the greatest compassion and understanding of a client's courage in taking this first step. I am deeply empathetic and genuinely care about the wellbeing of my clients. Looking for a therapist? Look no further.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Nevada rather than a city like Las Vegas?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Nevada from Henderson to Reno! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Nevada.

Will my therapist take Harvard Pilgrim/UnitedHealthcare/Optum?

Yes! If you use Harvard Pilgrim/UnitedHealthcare/Optum you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Harvard Pilgrim/UnitedHealthcare/Optum you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
