Michele Farabaugh, LCSW
About me
As a licensed therapist with over two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on helping clients navigate challenges such as depression, relationship dynamics, family conflicts, and grief. I bring a compassionate approach to addressing issues like self-love, communication difficulties, forgiveness, and personal growth.
My therapeutic work centers on supporting women, older adults, and families through transitions, including midlife challenges, caregiver stress, and family of origin dynamics. I have extensive experience working with individuals dealing with mood disorders, codependency, addiction recovery, and healing from domestic violence.
Drawing from a Christian-informed perspective, I create a supportive environment that honors each client's unique journey. My goal is to help you develop stronger coping skills, improve relationships, and find meaningful paths to personal healing and transformation. I approach each session with empathy, respect, and a commitment to your emotional well-being.

Ive only had 2 sessions so far, but I really like how Michele listens are makes me feel heard and understood. She is reassuring and a positive person. Its been very easy to open up to her being that she is warm and welcoming.

Michele is knowledgeable and respectful. She listens to what I say and offers valuable insight. She lets me know when I’m making good progress and encourages me to continue to grow and keep moving forward.

Michele is a great listener and I feel she offers rationale for her thoughts, but never directs you to a decision. Rather she gives you things to think about that helps you through the decision process itself. Thank you Michele!

I’m very thankful I was paired with Michele as I feel she understands and truly listens to what I say. She has given me different resources to help and I feel as though our sessions have given me direction.
