Carpe Diem Mental Health Counseling, PLLC

My name is Farydah El-Barkachi, I am a licensed mental health counselor in the states of Florida and New York, with 11 years of experience as a psychotherapist and 8 years in leadership roles, I currently serve as the clinical director of a department with approximately 150 employees, supporting over 1,800 participants.

Life can resemble a journey filled with straight paths, unexpected curves, and occasional detours. There are moments when we might feel lost, encounter dead ends, or navigate through uncertainty. During these times, having a supportive co-pilot can be invaluable in helping us stay focused on our goals.

I work with clients facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and low self-esteem. Rather than dwelling on what is wrong, we will emphasize your unique potential and strengths. You will take an active part in your treatment, while I serve as a supportive and knowledgeable guide. I have considerable experience working with clients from diverse professional and cultural backgrounds.

I invite you to embrace the transformative benefits of therapy. Psychotherapy offers a collaborative opportunity to work together towards your personal destination. My approach is tailored and comprehensive, with a strong emphasis on psychoeducation to empower you on your journey.

I frequently employ an integrative approach in my practice. I've observed that Schema Therapy and Humanistic methods enhance our capacity to discover meaning and true fulfillment in life by helping us understand the origins of our current symptoms and transforming unhealthy, self-defeating behaviors. Let's take this journey together!
