Meet Irina Farber

As a holistic and integrative therapist, I offer life affirming and culturally sensitive whole person care that considers body, mind, emotions and spirit. I offer a compassionate space for your pain and heartbreak, and a safe place to reconnect back to yourself and explore what’s holding you back from being present to yourself and others in this moment of your life. I work collaboratively with you and my approach is highly individualized and tailored to your needs, whether it is a desire to find relief from stress now or longing for a deep transformation and healing in your life and relationships. Together, we will work towards your goals and help you build a more fulfilling, authentic and embodied life.

I support clients struggling with stress, anxiety and depression, chronic illness, difficult life transitions, heartbreak of grief and loss, effects of childhood and generational trauma, and help couples and relationships resolve conflict, improve communication and restore trust. I love working with multicultural clients, and help people heal from religious/spiritual trauma and narcissistic abuse.

I am compassionate, yet firm; non-judgmental, yet direct; creative, engaging and attentive, yet rigorous and actively present. Through our work together, you will experience sense of ease, improved emotional regulation, increased body awareness, and a greater sense of safety and connection.

I am a Neuro-Affective Relational Model (NARM®) Therapist trained in working with people who have experienced early developmental and relational trauma. I am also a Grief Certified Therapist; I understand grief and meet you where you are to support you through the heartbreak of loss to find healing and hope. I am trained in Somatic, Art, Jungian and Nature/Eco therapy modalities and incorporate them in our work together. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirmative and ADHD/Neurodivergence informed.

I offer therapy in both English and Russian.

Therapy Styles

Short Term (Solution-focused, etc.) 
Ideal for those who are coming in with a specific problem they’d like to address and gain clarity on. Typically, short term therapies are present focused and do not dive deep into your past.

Structured
Structured therapies are goal and progress oriented. Therapists may incorporate psychoeducation and a specific “curriculum.” In order to stay on track, therapists may provide worksheets and homework.

Insight-oriented (Psychodynamic, Existential, etc.) 
Exploring the past and making connections to present issues can help clients gain insight. Getting to the root of the issue and finding deeper self-awareness can help with long-term change.

Non-directive (Humanistic, Person-centered, etc.)
Going with the flow and seeing where it leads.

Behavioral (CBT, DBT, etc.)
Focuses on changing potentially unhealthy or self-destructive behaviors by addressing problematic thought patterns and specific providing coping skills.

Trauma Focused (EMDR, TF-CBT, etc.)
Recognizing the connection between trauma experiences and your emotional and behavioral responses, trauma focused therapy seeks to help you heal from traumas.
