Therapists in Newark, DE

As a licensed psychologist with over 35 years of experience, I am committed to working with individuals and couples to address physical and mental health issues, sexual/relationship concerns, professional challenges, and life transitions. I believe that a good psychotherapeutic relationship can help you to feel better about yourself, develop resilience and enhance your relationships. My program "Lost and Found" is for women who are 5-10 years post cancer treatment. This work helps to optimize your health, deal with the trauma of illness and find ways to utilize your strengths and abilities to live a more fulfilled, authentic life.

Brenda Farside LCSW is a mental health clinician with more than 20 years experience. She works primarily with adults experiencing mental, physical and spiritual challenges and transitions, those who are in recovery, and those who are seeking self change. She has extensive training and experience with life transitions, depression & anxiety, loss & grief, trauma, and family issues. Brenda combines evidence-based counseling modalities (CBT, EMDR, Mindfulness) with energy modalities (reiki, meditation and breath work) to enhance and support the physiological shift necessary for a sustained alignment with mind, body, and spirit.

I see mental health therapy as an opportunity for growth. I am committed to helping my clients achieve their goals by providing a partnership that facilitates deeper awareness, leading to a new sense of empowerment and change. Many of the people I work with are experiencing relationship difficulties, life transitions, feelings of anxiety and depression, previous trauma, and loss.

An ideal client, is an unideal person. If humans were perfect they wouldn't need therapy. I work with individuals, couples & families with a range of issues. I help people address unskilled thoughts, emotions &/or behaviors, helping them let go of things that are no longer serving them. If an individual desires to grow by developing their sense of awareness, while developing skills to help them lower their stress levels & address their issues, I can help. I work with all mental health conditions, or stress related issues. No issue is too small or too big for therapy. I am here to support others in their goals & personal growth.

By exploring your options for compassionate mental health care, you are one step closer on your path towards healing. That takes courage, and can help you on your journey! We specialize in working with those who are struggling with all kinds of losses, but ALSO those with other mental health and relationship difficulties. We experience a sense of loss when someone or something, very dear to us, has been taken from our lives. In spite of what you may have learned, there is no one right way to feel, or to grieve! We experience different types of losses throughout our lives - and we know that every person's grief is unique

Hey, there! Is your relationship with Mom more stressful than supportive? Do you wish she would prioritize your emotional needs, but she just can't? I help adult women+ break generational patterns of trauma and blaze a path of healing. I know the effects of having a wounded mother can affect our self-esteem, self-confidence, and mental health, including anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. We can work together to heal your wounded self and build a life of confidence and empowerment. If this sounds like what you're looking for, I'd love to connect and talk about how I can help you on your journey to creating a life you love!

Are you looking for a safe space with a counselor who will help you connect with your body, your inner resources, your values, with nature, and with other people. Are you eager to learn easy techniques that will help you self-regulate and find clarity and agency, to create the life that you want. Are you are ready to embark on deeper personal growth, to develop and sustain a way of living that is more mindful, active, and self-compassionate.

We are all trying our best, myself included. Somedays, we take small steps forward, and other days we move backward or stay still. I know it takes a lot of courage to decide to come to therapy, to take that step towards facing what gets in the way of living your best life. If you are like most of us, you have already been working hard to get there by reading, listening to podcasts, talking to friends, and searching yourself for the answers. I get it; change is hard and can feel very uncomfortable. Sometimes we need a safe space and a teammate to continue our growth. If you are looking for an ally on your journey, reach out.

We are committed to helping individuals heal emotional wounds that may be preventing you from being your most extraordinary self. Our work focuses on targeting ineffective behaviors and beliefs to enhance self-acceptance. Our clients appreciate our gentle nature and genuineness, because we can’t expect you to be your real self, if we are not. We are all innately resourceful and self-healers, and we are passionate about guiding individuals towards finding peace and bringing balance to their lives.

Therapy can feel like an exploration: of story, relationships, and narrative. In this process, I enjoy serving as a co-pilot: navigating in collaboration with the client. Where do you want to be going and growing?

Do you experience anxiety individually or in relationships? Do you react when you need to engage? Does your body tense when sex, money, or change are raised? These topics can be uncomfortable for many individuals and partners, especially when we are raised in a culture that shames discussing them. Maybe changes or transitions are presenting challenges and you seek ease. Maybe money is ruining friendships or creating tension with your partner. Maybe you experience sexual pain and are frustrated with how it impacts your romantic relationships.
