Personal Statement

Michelle Farris is a licensed marriage and family therapist helping you with relationships, handling anger and addiction recovery issues. She offers supportive and confidential individual and couples counseling as well as online therapy for those living in CA.

Managing stress and the disappointments in life can create problems like depression, anxiety and difficulties in relationships. Learning to create healthy relationships happens when you have the ability to look at yourself and stop blaming others. This can be challenging at first, but the amazing sense of integrity that develops is profound.

In counseling, you'll learn how to focus on what you need while understanding how past events impact you today. Teaching how to set healthy boundaries is also an important part of my work. Learning to say no and put yourself first can decrease stress quickly. There is support available so please know that you are not alone.

Growth is a challenging, rewarding process when you start to see changes. I've seen people get excited about life again as they practice new skills and let go of beliefs that no longer serve them. We can only change ourselves and accept the things we cannot control because that is where you'll find peace.
