About Me

Audrey Farris

MSW, LISW

Over the last eight years, while providing integrated counseling services within the healthcare context, Audrey has helped many clients build resilience in the face of adversity. Her professional experience has focused on women’s issues, adjustment to illness, depression, anxiety/stress management, grief/ loss, healthy relationships/boundaries, life transitions, personal growth, spirituality issues, work/life balance, trauma resiliency, and creating patient-centered and trauma-informed systems of care. She is currently working toward certification in Brené Brown’s Daring Way™ model to more fully integrate this experiential method into her counseling practice. This method is integrated into her counseling practice, and she was also recently certified in EMDR therapy.

Audrey believes meaningful healing reaches beyond traditional talk therapy. By combining evidence-based approaches with a compassionate, collaborative style, she helps clients address the root causes of their struggles and create lasting change.

Clients appreciate Audrey’s calm, grounding presence and thoughtful structure, which help them feel safe, understood, and supported, even when they are unsure where to begin. She is especially passionate about helping individuals navigate life-changing diagnoses, perinatal mental health concerns, and burnout among helping professionals.

Audrey views therapy as a courageous journey rooted in progress rather than perfection. She walks alongside clients as they rediscover hope, build resilience, and move toward greater emotional, relational, spiritual, and personal well-being.

Each of us carries a story. Our stories are deep and personal, filled with unique trials and triumphs. The inner narratives we write about our own stories have the power to influence whether we thrive or nearly survive. I hope that together we can create a treatment environment that is safe, genuine, and fosters healing and growth. I believe in hope and healing, and I have experienced these blessings in my counseling practice and in my own life. My goal is to make that hope and healing accessible to you through clinical practice that aligns with a foundation of faith and is deeply rooted in evidence-based practice.
