About

Welcome! I’m Kristin Far; a mother, a wife, and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey & Pennsylvania.  

I specialize in OCD, Anxiety & Depression. I help individuals who are stuck in a cycle of worrying and getting more caught up in preventing fears from coming true rather than actually living their lives. You may try to find relief and answers to your fears by searching the internet for hours or even asking for reassurance from your friends, significant other, and family constantly.

I can help you. My approach encompasses understanding the root of your fears and worries and then building on ways to gradually face them. In our sessions, I teach you how to identify the unhelpful thoughts, how to sit through the physical and emotional discomfort, and learn that your worst fear may not come true or how to cope and handle it when it happens.

Whether you’ve been in therapy for years or brand new to this experience, I want to help you meet your personal goals, better your mental health, and help you get your life back. If you’re feeling isolated in your mental health, give me the opportunity to hold space for your emotions. Mental health is health and when not taken care of, it can feel crippling and debilitating. I’ve had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life; from resolving isolating compulsions and safety behaviors to building closeness with family and friends, I’ve witnessed the incredible transformations that can occur when we learn to live with compassion, authenticity, and curiosity.

I know that therapy can be an intimidating journey, but I want you to know that I’ve been there too. Through my own personal experience, therapy has been such a rich environment for healing from our past and understanding our worries and fears. I find so much wonder and joy being able to help others experience the same transformation.
