“The way I would describe my first experience with Angela, is warm and inviting. Immediately, I felt that she was here to help me. As a Brooklyn New Yorker, I am by nature guarded. However, I felt extremely comfortable.
As she got to know me and I got to know her the emotion quickly dissipated.( within 5-6 minutes)
We will be meeting weekly, I already have homework and I'm excited about our upcoming sessions.
I'm no longer alone on my mental health journey
Thanks Zocdoc

Getting to know Angela Farmer
Hi there, I'm Angela!
I was raised as a child of a Vietnam veteran with PTSD. In the ’70s and ’80s, mental health was not a priority for many people. I saw firsthand what mental illnesses could do to individuals and families. I worked in restaurants and raised three children. I chose to break generational toxic patterns and cycles. That is what brings me to where I am today. After 25 years in the restaurant industry, I went back to school at age 45 and earned my master’s degree in counseling from Cameron University.
My approach combines various theories, including CBT, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy. Some of my therapeutic strengths are challenging irrational thoughts, creating goals, and managing symptoms of mental illness. I enjoy working with adolescents and young adults—I get it.
The modalities I use include CBT, REBT, solution-focused, motivational interviewing, humanistic, gestalt, and others as needed. One specialty is pinpointing areas of concern and managing symptoms.
I focus on adolescents and young adults—people going into or early in adulthood. I love helping people see how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect, challenging irrational thoughts, and creating goals. I truly love working with people who want to do the work.
My communication style is realistic, using layman’s terms, humor, and sometimes being confrontational.
I grew up in the ’70s and ’80s watching my father struggle with PTSD. I saw what that did to my mother, sister, and me. After 25 years in restaurants, I decided to do something different, and this is where my therapeutic path began.
My goals for clients are to manage symptoms of mental illness, reduce anger, manage stress, anxiety, and depression, set goals, communicate issues, and more.
