Getting to know Farah Ali
Hi, I'm Farah Ali, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's in Social Work from the University of Minnesota. I work with individuals facing ongoing challenges with depression and anxiety. My goal is to help you stop feeling overwhelmed and depressed and start making progress toward your goals. I love guiding people toward positive changes and witnessing them achieve more fulfilling lives. The most rewarding part of being a therapist is seeing a person walk away lighter, more free, and more excited about their life.
As a therapist, I embrace the following philosophies:
I believe that you deserve to feel better.
I believe that you are worthy of love and care.
I believe that survivors are not defined by what happened to them.
I believe that change is possible when you allow yourself the space to do the work.
I believe that therapy should address the person as a whole-their mind, body, and spirit.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Our sessions will provide you with the space to be understood and heard. In feeling safe and comfortable, you'll be able to explore your thoughts, feelings, and goals and feel what you need to feel. It's important to me to provide a non-judgemental space where you can be yourself and ensure that the process is collaborative. There isn't a "one size fits all" approach to Therapy. Our sessions will fit your specific needs and concerns.

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.
