Getting to know Dorothy Farrel

I am so glad you are here! I want to start by telling you it is OK not to be OK. The key is deciding what you are going to do about it. How can we make your life better? I know that finding the right therapist for you can be a challenge. It is about finding that person who genuinely supports, listens, and provides you with the tools you need to help you shift your path in the direction you want to take it. The first step of saying, 'Hey, I need someone to talk to,' is powerful and the kindest thing you can do for yourself! I have been in the field as a change agent, listener, and helper for the past 30 years. I have had the opportunity as an LCSW to work with many people, including youth, families, couples, and individuals who have suffered trauma, domestic violence, sexual assault, addiction, depression, anxiety, memory loss, grief and loss, and general life stressors. As a trauma-informed therapist, I have the perspective of “What happened to you?” versus the traditional “What is wrong with you?” I believe that your journey has created this unique tapestry, some of which you love and other parts that you want to change or adjust. As a social worker, I use a very person-centered approach, which means I believe in meeting you where you are and providing you with the approach I think may be most useful for you based on what you want to accomplish with our therapy relationship. Whether it be narrative therapy, where you truly just need someone to listen, cognitive behavioral therapy to reset often irrational thinking, or brief strategic therapy to help you arrive at some answers very quickly. I am an exceptionally soft spirit who combines a no-nonsense approach. I will push you when you need to be pushed and will be very gentle when you need that support. I would be honored to be part of your journey. I look forward to meeting you.
