Farida AnwarPsychologist, PhD

About

I have over 25 years working in the field of psychology. I believe that the key to most emotional and psychological problems lies in relationships, those in the past and in the present. I believe conscious and unconscious behavior patterns can cause difficulties in life, and these behavior problems can be changed or modified. My approach is eclectic , and I use various modalities within a psychodynamic framework. I am also trained as a trauma specialist and EMDR therapist. I believe trauma can keep people stuck in behaviors and emotional dysfunction and EMDR is a highly effective way of reprocessing "stuck" trauma. I have spent many years in forensic settings, & working with adults, geriatrics, & adolescents. My fundamental belief is that people can change and my goal is to help persons to work towards their full potential, being mindful of the fact that we are physical, spiritual, psychological, & emotional beings. Reprocessing past trauma is a crucial part of this.
