Linda Farag - LSW

As a neurodivergent person, I know what it’s like to feel like you can’t do anything right. And how life-changing it can be to embrace your differences.
As a person who lives with chronic illness and chronic pain, I have had first-hand experiences with medical gaslighting. This has forced me to learn how to trust myself as an expert in my lived experience. As a humanistic therapist, I approach therapy with the assumption that you are motivated and capable of being the person that you want to be. Trauma, anxiety, pain, and other struggles affect the way we feel about ourselves and become barriers that prevent us from living authentically. My job is to help equip you to remove these barriers and advocate for you (or your child).

My job as a therapist is to help you look at yourself from a place of curiosity, rather than through the lens of self-defeating stories. When we understand ourselves, we can work on changing our behavior without being crippled by shame.

There are two experts in the therapy room. While I am there to provide guidance and facilitate progress using my clinical expertise and training, you are the expert in your life experience. This means that you can expect to be an equal partner in the therapeutic process. Be prepared to be asked for feedback throughout therapy. This helps ensure that we focus our efforts on what works best for you and helps me personalize your treatment to your particular needs, goals, and comfort level.
