Therapists in California

My name is Kevin Farrell and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California (#22616). I have almost 20 years experience as a Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist. I previously had a successful career in media and in my mid-30s I returned to school to obtain a Masters Degree in Social Work in order to find a more rewarding career path for myself. As a Psychotherapist, I have worked with a wide variety of adults and I use a range of therapeutic tools. I view therapy as a partnership and for me the most important aspect of therapy is the therapeutic alliance, which refers to the quality and strength of the collaborative relationship between client and therapist. This is strongest when there is agreement on goals and objectives. I work closely with each client to establish goals and achieve a strong alliance built on mutual trust. I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy with reliance on core theoretical concepts from Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Existential Therapy, among others. I tend to emphasize solution-focused strategies that assist a client in understanding themselves, improving their problem-solving/coping techniques, and building resiliency for future challenges. I seek ongoing feedback and collaboration with clients to evaluate and improve a client's experience in therapy. I have been told that my non-judgmental style engages people and they find me respectful, sincere, and easy to relate to. My primary goal with clients is to successfully address a client's challenges in order to improve overall quality of life.

Life is fucking hard sometimes! Whatever the issue is you're facing I'm willing to guess that the issue itself is hard, but managing your thoughts and feelings around it is even harder. Maybe you ruminate on what could have been, maybe you beat yourself up, maybe you turn it outward and become hypercritical of those around you. Whatever your coping strategy is, you have a strong desire to breakthrough the limiting beliefs and patterns to reach a place of peace and contentment. I use an eclectic mix of Attachment theory, Somatic and Psychodynamic modalities tailored to your specific needs. I find the key to liberation of the mind is to deepen our understanding of our earliest relationships, our bodies and our subconscious. I’ve learned it’s not about what has happened to us as much as it is the meaning we've made of it. The stories we've told ourselves to make sense of the senseless that get refined over time into the narrative of our life- and that is what we must challenge. We must be brave enough to hold hope for the possibility that a new, and more true narrative exists.
