Dr. Anne Farina believes that mental health is a delicate balance between the mind and the body. Her approach is rooted in the understanding that life experiences such as trauma or early developmental wounds don’t just live in our thoughts; they live in our physical selves and the stories we tell about who we are.
With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, Anne’s journey has been defined by a deep commitment to understanding the “whole person.” Her background includes extensive work with adults, children, and families from a variety of backgrounds, as well as involvement in community-based research. This experience has solidified her belief that healing happens when we address the intersection of our internal experiences and the external world. Anne views the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative partnership, where she provides the framework and support for clients to explore their paths toward resilience and change.
Anne’s practice is focused on helping clients reconnect with their bodies to restore a somatic sense of self. She views clinical interventions not as rigid rules, but as frameworks to guide exploration in the areas where clients are most looking to make changes. Her work is deeply guided by the principles of anti-oppressive practice, acknowledging how complex systems of power, oppression, and powerlessness impact individual well-being. Whether working with individuals navigating perinatal mental health or those healing from long-standing trauma, Anne’s goal is to provide a collaborative space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered.
