Joel Farber, LCSW

Joel Farber, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
Hello! We are living through a challenging time, and we all need to talk to someone. So whether it's me, another therapist, a trusted family member or a friend, I am thankful you want to talk and take care of yourself. I am an easy going and genuinely curious therapist. My goal is to create a non judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings and behaviors, gain awareness of any self limiting patterns, learn helpful skills, and hopefully laugh some. I believe that the challenges and transitions we face can become opportunities for personal growth and a chance to reframe our experiences in a positive way. My work comes from a trauma informed and strengths based lens and utilizes a combination of CBT, DBT, ACT and interpersonal approaches to therapy. Some of the issues people come to me for include: depression/anxiety, trauma, grief/loss, relationship issues, life transitions and stress management. Update 7/1/25: I have openings for new clients, primarily on Mondays and Tuesdays and Thursdays.
