Pre-Licensed Professional
New Paltz, NY

I hold an M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Working with adolescent aged clients and older, I am passionate about providing an inclusive space to work with BIPOC communities with the goal of aligning multicultural approaches amidst various cultures and religions. I emphasize a core value of ensuring a safe environment of dignity and respect for each individual while exploring identities among systemic issues. In sessions, I offer compassionate and empathetic support that allows for inner healing and growth for clients. I attentively listen and collaborate side by side with clients to address emotional disturbances, school issues, life transitions, life stressors, divorce, grief, caregiving support, suicidal ideations, esteem support and coping skills. My therapeutic style is based on a DBT lens, and incorporates the perspectives of CBT, Humanistic, Psychodynamic, and creative art mediums. I also have additional science-focused education and training that emphasizes biological knowledge with the working elements of therapy. I strive to combine the psychological and social components of counseling with scientific connections to ensure a deeper understanding of presenting situations. Through collaborative approaches, Farrah is dedicated to work together with clients in exploring restorative growth and remedy.

Do you worry about the future? Would you describe yourself as having difficulty with perfectionism, relationships with family & friends, social anxiety or identity? We are a small practice with two therapists--Spencer & Carlie who love providing therapy to young adults as they navigate this exciting and nerve wracking time moving from childhood and dependence to adulthood and independence. We often work with young adults who may have had therapy in high school but did not previously find therapy helpful (often due to a lack of agency in picking their therapist, misunderstanding or invalidation of their experiences, disruptions in confidentiality or lack of concrete coping skills/goals worked on). We provide a reparative experience where clients feel genuinely supported and able to advocate and ask for what they need. We use a variety of different therapy modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectal-Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Attachment Based Therapy, EMDR, Goal-oriented Therapy and Mindfulness. Our clients often move towards a feeling of confidence, improved relationships and belief in their abilities to handle any challenges that may come their way.

Have you or family members been faced with obstacles that have caused you to lose hope and courage? You may be feeling uninspired and do not believe you have the capability to be optimistic and patient. Perhaps there are internal battles to get through the day without breaking down. When working with a therapist that is "the right fit" in an environment that is "safe and supportive" I believe you can develop the physical and emotional strength to work through your struggles. In an interactive/ collaborative way we will work to make positive changes to improve your life and relationships. ​ My specialities and practice focus include, but are not limited to, eating disorders/ body image issues, self-esteem struggles, infertility issues, postpartum/general depression and anxiety, mothering/parenting struggles, and relationship/family issues. I also provide supervision for students and other professionals earning higher licensing credentials. ​ I favor an empathic and supportive approach which integrates psychodynamic and psychoanalytic techniques to help clients reduce symptoms and explore/understand the underlying issues of their current life struggles. Short or long-term therapy via an office setting, phone sessions, video chat sessions and/or at-home counseling is available.

It is not uncommon to feel "trapped" in your own skin and feel out of control. This feeling overflows & disrupts our relationships, work/school, sleep, diet, exercise, finances & life goals. Desperation can cause us to reach for temporary solutions like fad diets, overworking, food restriction, over using substances & unhealthy relationships. You aren't meant to be at war with yourself everyday. Within therapy we will work on managing symptoms, finding the roots of your pain and healing where they originated using "parts" work & memory reconsolidation. I provide a safe place for you to be truly "heard" which is often underestimated. I specialize in disordered eating/body image issues using a HAES (Health at Every Size) approach. I work with people of all sizes as disordered eating does not discriminant. Other areas of specialty include grief, ADHD, depression, mood disorders, relationship issues, anxiety, life changes and hormonal issues. It's common for these struggles to overlap. I understand how difficult it can be finding the "right" therapist. I believe in the power of human connection to be a strong component of therapy. I am humbled everyday by the trust my clients put in me to help them succeed. I offer a free phone consultation to answer any questions you may have which can be scheduled via email. Thank you for your time!

Reese Minshew
Psychologist
Beaverton, OR

Hi there! My name is Reese Minshew, and I work almost entirely with transgender (broadly defined) adults who have had traumatic (broadly defined) experiences. I’m licensed in California, Illinois, and New York, and work via telehealth with people located in any of those states. Clinically, I believe that the reactions we have after experiencing trauma and stress are fundamentally adaptive to the trauma, but can disrupt everyday life. In other words, if you had a difficult experience (including chronic exposure to structural stressors such as anti-trans bias, white supremacy, ableism, etc), you might not be able to eat, sleep, focus, calm down, feel excited, or be in relationships in the way you want. Whatever reaction you’re having was very helpful to you at one time, but if it’s no longer serving you then we can work on that. Most of the time we would do this by talking about what’s going on in your life right now, and working to understand it in the context of your past experiences.

My clients are often experiencing increased stress, worry, sadness, and a feeling of uneasiness that impacts their daily life. These feelings may be intensified by struggles in personal relationships. I begin therapy in a holistic manner, learning who my clients are as a whole person and working collaboratively with them to determine the most effective course of treatment. I practice through a psychodynamic lens, helping clients to understand how experiences from their past might be informing their present challenges. I offer CBT and DBT techniques to help clients reframe negative thought patterns, sit more comfortably with anxious feelings, and implement improved communication skills to achieve more meaningful, joyful relationships. I integrate creative elements into the therapeutic space, inviting clients to move into into breathwork, journaling, music, and art as a means to foster deepened exploration and insight into the issues at hand. I bring warmth, humor, and deep insight into the therapeutic relationship. I understand the vulnerability therapy entails and believes feeling comfortable and connected to your therapist is integral. I believe in the power of the therapeutic process to help you move through difficult experiences towards greater feelings of connection, self-compassion, and wholeness. On the practical side of things, I am a Licenced Creative Arts Therapist and board-certified music therapist working with young adults in prominent teaching hospitals and in private practice for over 7 years. I graduated with my master’s in music psychotherapy from New York University in 2014 and am currently completing training as an advanced analytical music psychotherapy practitioner.
