Getting to know Faryal Popal

Hi, I’m a trauma-informed mental health therapist working with adolescents and adults. I specialize in supporting people through suicidal thoughts, trauma, anxiety, and intense emotions, using evidence-based approaches like CBT for Suicide Prevention, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. I know that day-to-day stress, along with challenges related to culture, immigration, motherhood, work, or the environment, can take a real toll on your life and ability to function. My focus is on creating a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make changes that matter to you. Who I Work With I support adolescents and adults navigating life’s challenges, including trauma, anxiety, intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. I also help clients manage stress from cultural pressures, immigration experiences, parenting responsibilities, work, and environmental factors that affect daily life. What Therapy Can Do Together, we’ll explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and develop practical tools to manage distress and feel more in control. Many clients find that therapy helps them reconnect with their strengths, build resilience, and find hope and stability in everyday life. My goal is to support you in creating meaningful changes that bring a greater sense of safety, confidence, and well-being.

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.
