Getting to know Farah Flahive

Hi there, I'm Farah! My name is Farah Flahive, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My approach to therapy is unique because I believe every individual is different, so I do not limit myself to just one theoretical model. I draw from the work of many psychologists before me. My focus is to create safety for you when all hope seems lost. **My approach** I utilize Humanistic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative, Psychodynamic, and Existential approaches in my work. **My focus** I have experience working with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, PTSD, TBI, Neurological Developmental Disorders, and Addiction. **My communication style** I offer unconditional positive regard. When you work with me, I want you to feel validated and confident. My goal is to increase your autonomy and self-esteem by addressing negative thought cycles and harmful behavioral patterns. **My journey to mental healthcare** I have a passion for helping people. My love for data analysis and understanding individuals is woven into my therapeutic practice. I believe that inside each person is a galaxy of complex emotions, behavioral patterns, and intrusive thoughts. It can be easy to feel lost and alone, but my goal is to help my clients navigate and attune to their minds so they can feel more in control of their lives. **My goals for you** I love goal setting and want my clients to feel empowered by setting attainable goals. You will determine the goals we work toward. **My first session with you** The first session will be introductory. I want to hear the blueprint of your life and what you want to focus on in therapy. Together, we will collaborate on goals and create an action plan that puts you in the driver's seat.
