Getting to know Cristina Farah

Glimmer—verb: shine faintly with a wavering light. It is my most sincere belief that everyone deserves to live a life they enjoy living. I believe the ability to indulge in this is already inside you. As your therapist, I am here to simply help you uncover and source what is already there. I invite you to become curious about yourself in the safe container of our sessions so that you can cultivate self-compassion in this process. I draw from my education, training, and personal experiences in my work with clients. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Fordham University. My approach is based on the idea that healing is a relational process: I will collaborate with you to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and understood. I am EMDR therapy trained, and with that, in addition to polyvagal and somatic-informed tools, I will help you along your path of self-discovery. In my practice, I combine traditional and nontraditional methods to help you heal and explore through a process that is playful, accepting, and empathetic. During our sessions, we will focus on cultivating the awareness and skills that will help you find YOU. “We are all just walking each other home.” – Ram Dass

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
