Now offering EMDR therapy, IFS/Parts Work inspired therapy and couples/marriage counseling.

We are hurt in relationships with ourselves and others. We are also healed in relationships. Are your struggling with depression, substance or behavioral addiction, or the negative affects of another's addiction? Is your marriage difficult? Are you grieving a death, separation or divorce? Is a recent medical diagnosis or chronic illness more than you can manage? Through a relationship with a supportive counselor, life's challenges can become opportunities for psychological and spiritual growth. I would be privileged to be your guide and companion along the path to a fuller, more joyful relationship with yourself and others.

Here is a little about me. Originally from Connecticut, I received my BS in Early Childhood and Special Education from the University of Delaware. Soon after, I received my Masters of Social Work from Louisiana State University. I worked as a school social worker prior to beginning my work in a clinical setting. During Covid I shifted gears and began working with clients in a virtual setting.

What are you looking for and what are you struggling to find? Sometimes that search centers around finding the right tools for a given situation. Other times, the search might be to uncover who we are or who we are becoming. Whatever the case is, something has brought you to this place, at this moment. I’m curious to hear more about where you are right now.

It is my primary focus to help empower my clients to make meaningful changes in their lives through goal-directed interventions and strategic planning. With twenty plus years of experience working with adults, children, adolescents, families and various mental health & addiction populations, I encourage the use of one's own strengths to overcome challenging issues. I have been trained to treat various mental health and addictions issues. I use evidence-based, goal oriented and measurable techniques to assist in the therapeutic process. This journey I promise to take with you will achieve positive outcomes and results.

As we move through life, obstacles, challenges, disappointments and past pain can become road blocks to living the life we truly want. In therapy we can create a supportive, safe and accepting place for you to explore and dismantle the elements that have kept you stuck, and uncover your true potential to lead a life that is fulfilling and meaningful. If you are ready for this journey of self-discovery and change, I would be honored to work with you.

Welcome and thank you for your interest in my practice. I have worked for more than 30 years with individuals and families who have experienced or are currently struggling with relationship issues, trauma, and/or substance abuse issues including codependence. Seeking therapy requires courage, and it would be my honor to work with you to offer a safe and caring place for you and your family to talk about yourselves, your lives, and the things in your lives that you would like to improve on. Together we can collaborate to use our strengths to help solve problems and achieve important goals.

You may be here because you are struggling with feeling like your mental health concerns are controlling your life. Or that your grief from losing a loved one or many loved ones has become too much to bear. Maybe you and your partner have reached a level of conflict that is too painful for both of you. My goal is to listen with an open heart and mind and to be your guide as you move through the healing process. I believe that each person has the capacity to heal themselves, and with a therapist walking alongside you, that healing can be both powerful and long-lasting.

Welcome! The idea of counseling can be scary no matter what our age. And finding the right “fit” can be critical for your success in counseling. Here’s a bit about me and my practice and why we may be a good fit for you. Clients and their families come to my practice to gain a sense of what patterns are keeping them stuck. Together we face what has been avoided in order to achieve greater satisfaction and fulfillment in our lives. Counselors are human too! I use humor to normalize symptoms of stress and provide a warm comfortable environment to let go and take new supported risks.

An ideal client, is an unideal person. If humans were perfect they wouldn't need therapy. I work with individuals, couples & families with a range of issues. I help people address unskilled thoughts, emotions &/or behaviors, helping them let go of things that are no longer serving them. If an individual desires to grow by developing their sense of awareness, while developing skills to help them lower their stress levels & address their issues, I can help. I work with all mental health conditions, or stress related issues. No issue is too small or too big for therapy. I am here to support others in their goals & personal growth.

Brenda Farside LCSW is a mental health clinician with more than 20 years experience. She works primarily with adults experiencing mental, physical and spiritual challenges and transitions, those who are in recovery, and those who are seeking self change. She has extensive training and experience with life transitions, depression & anxiety, loss & grief, trauma, and family issues. Brenda combines evidence-based counseling modalities (CBT, EMDR, Mindfulness) with energy modalities (reiki, meditation and breath work) to enhance and support the physiological shift necessary for a sustained alignment with mind, body, and spirit.

Do you experience anxiety individually or in relationships? Do you react when you need to engage? Does your body tense when sex, money, or change are raised? These topics can be uncomfortable for many individuals and partners, especially when we are raised in a culture that shames discussing them. Maybe changes or transitions are presenting challenges and you seek ease. Maybe money is ruining friendships or creating tension with your partner. Maybe you experience sexual pain and are frustrated with how it impacts your romantic relationships.

I aim to provide a warm, nonjudgmental, safe environment that will support your innate ability to heal and grow. I view therapy as a collaborative partnership between you and I, and I highly value building deep, genuine connections with the people with whom I work. Through connection, and a gentle balance of nurture and challenge, lasting change can occur. Many of my patients begin therapy feeling stuck, anxious, unhappy, struggling with effects of trauma or loss, or desiring deeper connections in their relationships. Therapy can help you understand more about yourself and what you can do to feel better.

I join clients who are struggling with anxiety, mood changes, and thoughts and behavior that disrupt their lives. Many of my clients feel removed from their lives and relationships, almost like they're watching as an outsider. My goal is to help clients feel happier, more in control, and more present in their lives. Let's start the conversation, what do you feel is holding you back?

I’ve been a therapist of one type or another for the past 30 years. I’m currently seeing patients for a number of reasons, some rather moderate and some fairly severe. I have extension experience with addictive thinking, anxiety (including compulsive behaviors), depression, existential or interpersonal concerns, bi-polar depression, mindfulness and anger. As a rule, I don’t see couples. My patients range in age from 11 to 90.
