It is about becoming self-aware and working hard to create the best version of yourself. It is about gaining some control back and feeling empowered to reach your goals.

My name is Farina Tahir, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in working with children and parents. I am also a Certified Clinical Service Provider for ADHD. I have a great passion for unifying and strengthening relationships within families. I firmly believe that connecting with others and with oneself is where profound change occurs. Finding the blocks in one’s life and discovering constructive ways to heal can lead to deeper connection and healthier relationships. It lights up my heart to help parents connect with their children, and help children communicate their needs in constructive ways as they learn to navigate life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate under the supervision of Laurie Todd, LPC-S, in the state of Texas. I obtained my Master of Science in Counseling from Texas A&M University-Commerce. My Bachelor of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders is from The University of Texas at Austin. Before becoming a counselor, my career was in education for over fifteen years, serving students in grades Pre-K through 12th grade with different backgrounds and educational needs through varied curriculum content, with over a decade of experience in teaching adolescents.

My experience in counseling includes working with individuals as they address and grow through challenges related to depression, anxiety, autism, ADHD, OCD, phobias, adjusting to life changes, career counseling, PTSD/trauma, and grief. My therapeutic approach is grounded in a person-centered perspective that integrates tools and evidence-based therapeutic practices from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT)  to help meet client’s therapeutic goals while incorporating faith-based counseling upon request. I am also trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which is highly effective in treating PTSD and trauma.  

As a lifelong learner, I am committed to continuously improving my skills and staying up to date with the latest developments in counseling. I embrace the diversity of our characteristics and experiences and am dedicated to empathically collaborating with you in our therapeutic alliance. Together, we will work towards your growth and the achievement of your life’s goals.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate supervised by Julia Wesley, LMFT-S. I like to describe myself as a guide, helping you pick up and hold the pen as you go on to write your own story. I work with individuals, couples, and families as they navigate transitions, confusion, and stress and help them find peace in the storm. My goal is to help prepare you with the tools and insights you need to establish healthy relationships and fully experience life.

I  want to create a comfortable and nonjudgmental environment where anyone can feel free to be their authentic selves and find the courage to unshackle their heaviest burdens. I primarily utilize a structural approach, which helps redefine the relationships and establish appropriate boundaries. I also like to use reflective and experiential techniques so that the client does not simply know but rather fully understands their goals and changes. I believe that all of this begins and ends with the courage to do something that makes a meaningful difference.

I have a BA in Youth and Family Ministry from Harding University. I also received my MS in Marriage and Family Therapy there as well. While my favorite demographic to work with is teenagers, I also see individuals, couples, and families with all kinds of relational difficulties. In my free time I enjoy watching movies and playing disc golf, and have recently found a new passion in table-top Role Playing Games.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate under the supervision of Dr. Becki Welsh, PhD, LPCS, RPTS. I obtained my bachelors in Psychology from Florida Atlantic University and my masters in clinical mental health from Colorado Christian University. Before becoming a therapist, I worked at a shelter for homeless youth and single mothers, which ignited my passion for making a meaningful impact in my community. I enjoy working with teens, young adults, and couples. My heart is to help individuals and families navigate life’s challenges and foster deeper connections.
I integrate Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Needs-Connection Model, Motivational Interviewing, and Gottman techniques (couples therapy) in my practice. I believe that it is a privilege to walk alongside clients in their journey towards healing and more meaningful relationships.
