Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Farah, a licensed clinical social worker providing trauma-informed therapy in Texas and New York. I understand how important it is to find a therapist who you feel understood by (I’ve struggled with this myself!) so I invite you to explore if we might be a good fit…and take your time! Finding the right therapist is like finding the right pillow. Everyone has different needs and preferences, but we want a good balance of comfort & support for you.

My services

I’m located in Round Rock (near Austin), so I offer therapy sessions both in-person and virtually to individuals and couples. For those residing in New York, I provide virtual therapy. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, and perinatal mental health. I have extensive experience working with South Asian, Muslim, and BIPOC clients, as well as other healthcare professionals.

 FAQs

  • This truly depends on various factors but I typically encourage people to meet weekly at first if possible. We can then transition to biweekly as you progress. I won’t turn someone away from therapy if they’re unable to meet weekly or simply prefer a different frequency. We can figure out a rhythm that works best for you.

  • That’s a good question, and an important one! I’ve shared more about my approach here. If you’d like to learn more about me specifically, you can read about that here.

  • I am not in network with insurance yet, and am in the process of paneling with with Aetna and BCBS. I will update here once this happens. In the meantime, I offer Superbills for those seeking reimbursement from their insurance company. Not all insurance plans provide coverage for out of network services so contacting your insurance directly for the most accurate info is recommended. You can read more about my session fees here.

  • I see clients Monday-Thursday and have different times available in the morning and afternoon. Reach out here for the most current openings.

  • LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. This means that I’ve earned a Master’s in Social Work (MSW), obtained 3,000 supervised clinical hours, and passed the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) licensing exam. I also have to complete at least 30 hours of continuing education (CE) every 2 years so that I can keep up to date with new research and findings.
