| Practice Description: |
Hello, I'm Faren Zayda, a devoted follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. I work to bring hope and a way forward to people of all backgrounds, faiths, and lack thereof. While much of my counselling relies on ancient and present truths taken from the Scriptures and backed by psychology and research, my counseling focuses on leading my client/s in a sober-minded way through their own reality, with heart-to-heart reasoning, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. In a world that is often chaotic, my desire is to help you recognise, feel, and live, in accordance to your faith. That you would not only know that you are not alone; but also walk in that knowledge.
Every now and then, Christians may feel that they lose touch with the Holy Spirit and reminisce about times when their faith was "alive" and God was real to them, but the truth is the veil is still torn, and God hasn't changed. Whatever your story is, and whether or not you are a Christian, in our therapy sessions, you are guaranteed to be heard and responded to with honesty, fairness, and love. Despite being a Christian therapist, there is no religious agenda, I work with people according to their values, beliefs, and traditions- not mine.
In working with teens, I specialize in offering discipleship and mentoring-based counsel. With children, I engage their world with curiosity and kindness, spending therapeutic time with them, collecting observations, and bringing in behavior-modifying techniques that are adapted to your family values, as well as their personality and learning style. I also offer EMDR therapy, free of new-age and unbiblical influences, to people of all ages, 6+.
With couples, I get straight to the point. Expect intervention-based approaches and experiential techniques that are sure to empower a shift toward humility, openness, and responsiveness towards one another.
Whether I'm working with ADHD, trauma, depression, or addiction (including to pornography, games, or any other high-dopamine activities), I will bring you specialized intervention and support, backed by years of expertise and lived experience. I don't come to the counseling table broken, but as someone who has been healed, who has overcome, and is free. Called, willing, and able, in the Lord, to inspire, guide, and encourage others.
Please book with me on my website, where you may find out more information about me and my services. After your booking, you will receive an intake form questionnaire which will help me determine my ability to work effectively with you. All clients who are outside of my scope will be referred to other capable therapists or community resources.
