Getting to know Farah Shaikh
Hello and Welcome!
My name is Farah, and I am a LCSW-C. I am here to assist you or your loved one on their personal healing journey. I have almost two decades of experience working with individuals and families and feel privileged to do this work. I earned my Master's in Clinical Social Work from Columbia University in New York, where I was born and raised. I am a South Asian, Muslim woman and mother. I have a unique set of skills working with children and adolescents who are also struggling to navigate this world.

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.
