Hi. Im Fari. 

The Credentials

I am a certified clinical psychotherapist with almost a decade of experience helping people from all walks of life. I have had the unique opportunity to practice as an intensive therapist in a rehabilitation setting as well as private practice. I am extensively trained in working with individuals with trauma, addiction, ADHD, depression, anxiety, professional burn-out, and crisis management. I work with individuals, couples, and families. ​

 

The Background

I am a Canadian ex-pat, husband, father, and my dogs think I am a hero. I can't stand long walks on the beach, I still can't figure out how to get my wife to tell me what restaurant she wants to go to, and I have been known to wear socks with sandals. I do not look like a typical therapist - and that is kind of the point. I show up as myself, tattoos and all. Feel free to do the same. ​

 

The Office 

Show up, sit down, take your shoes off if you want. We built the space with the aim that it feels more like you are sitting in a familiar living room with someone you trust, than a clinical space with a complete stranger. Everyone here is warm. Welcoming, and non-judgemental. If you aren't a people person, we got you - our 4-legged management team is here to help you settle in. 

 

​The  Impact Method  

We work with you, which means you have work to do, but you don't have to do it alone. The Impact method custom tailors a combination of tested therapeutic models into a program aligned with your personality, personal circumstances, and your individual goals in order to generate your first 'lightbulb moment' early in the process. Early insight means you can get stuck in to using that actionable intel with the tools and wisdom we will work with you to develop. Impact therapy isn't designed to feel like sunshine and rainbows all the time. There will be some tough moments - we can pretty much guarantee that, we have seen countless people experience incredible transformations. ​

 

The Philosophy

No one gets an instruction manual on how to handle life when things go pear-shaped, and no one is born with a set of tools to navigate trauma, addiction, ADHD, divorce, the Karen at the office, crippling pressure, social media, and everything else you deal with every.single.day. You might not come with a manual, and you might not be in control of everything that has happened to you, but you can be the architect of your own recovery. We want to see you win. Ready to Un f* your life? Awesome. Lets start the work. ​​​
