B.A., M.A. — Registered Provisional Psychologist
Hello, I’m Farella. I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists, and I provide a warm, respectful, and collaborative space for clients to feel heard, supported, and understood.
Many people come to therapy when they are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, uncertain in their relationships, or unsure of how to move forward through a difficult season of life. You may be carrying stress quietly, questioning your identity or direction, struggling with communication, or feeling caught in patterns that no longer serve you. My role is to meet you with compassion, curiosity, and cultural sensitivity while helping you better understand yourself, your relationships, and the experiences that have shaped you.
My approach is relational, person-centred, attachment-informed and trauma-informed. I believe healing happens through meaningful connection: with ourselves, with others and within a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust. Together, we can explore difficult emotions, identify roadblocks, strengthen coping skills, build self-awareness and work toward the change, resilience and freedom you are seeking.
I work with clients from diverse backgrounds and honour the uniqueness of each person, including their race, culture, family system, spirituality, sexual orientation, identity and lived experience. Whether you are seeking support for anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting, life transitions, body image, trauma, grief, conflict, self-esteem or identity-related concerns, I aim to provide a safe and affirming space where your goals, strengths and story are at the centre of our work.
I sincerely believe that a therapist who can make you feel safe and comfortable — where mutual respect and trust are shared — is fundamental to the healing process.
As humans, it is not uncommon to sometimes find yourself in a position where you feel lost, frightened and all alone. I am here to support you in whatever way you need, whether it’s to identify the roadblocks, redefine your identity or embrace your true self — this can be achieved by working collaboratively in a safe, respectful, empathic environment where trust is fundamental to the process.
I work with clients from diverse backgrounds where cultural sensitivity is prime. Because I sincerely believe that a therapist who is able to make you feel safe, comfortable and where mutual respect is shared and trust is built, I therefore offer a free 15-minute consultation where you and I can get to know each other and see if there is a connection — a good fit.
There are so many therapeutic interventions today — psychodynamic (integrative), person-centered, cognitive behavioral, and more — but I believe that every person is unique.
Together we interpret your thoughts, feelings, and behavior, then discuss, decide, and formulate a treatment plan that is customised just for your specific needs. I strive to meet each and every client where they are — with no assumptions.
Below are some of the key areas we address together.
