Getting to know Joel Farber

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. 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.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I am an easy-going and genuinely curious therapist. 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. When I was a young adult, I witnessed many of my peers struggle with their mental health. I supported them only as a friend, but it sparked a curiosity about helping others as a therapist.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

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. In our first session, I have a simple goal of getting to know your strengths, hearing your insights, and learning about your challenges. You are the expert on you, and I want to collaborate with you and make you feel comfortable, safe, and heard.
