Ms Susan Farber
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
“An experienced and compassionate therapist specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy and mind/body modalities.”
About Me
I offer compassionate support, drawing on my experience to help you navigate life's complexities. When thoughts feel overwhelming, we can use cognitive behavioural therapy to gently untangle them. I also integrate mind/body modalities. Simple breathwork, for example, helps you connect with your body's signals and find calm. This approach is ideal for those seeking practical ways to manage stress and cultivate lasting emotional well-being.
Approach
Guided by cognitive-behavioral and somatic practices, I focus on practical steps that link thinking, feeling, and bodily signals so overwhelm becomes more manageable. In Santa Barbara or online, sessions move at a pace you set—focused, brief experiments and clear check-ins that fit day-to-day life. Between meetings I often suggest small, trackable practices: grounding anchors, thought records, or activity pacing to support recovery after brain injury, chronic illness, or during anxiety. This style tends to help people who want steady, usable tools and compassionate structure.
