👋 Hi, I’m Farah — Licensed School Psychologist & Founder of MMHC
As a mom, I know how much trust it takes to hand your child over to someone else’s care—especially when they’re struggling. You’ve probably read a dozen bios and scrolled through more mental health websites than you can count. It all starts to blend together, right?
That’s why I want to give you a real sense of who I am—before you ever have to book a consult.

I’m a Licensed School Psychologist in Florida and a Nationally Certified School Psychologist (NCSP) with over a decade of experience working with children, teens, and families.
I spent years in Florida’s public school system doing educational testing, counseling, and crisis response, including serving as a first responder at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School after the tragedy in Parkland.
Now, in private practice, I get to bring that school-based expertise into a more personalized setting—where I can give each child and family the time, comfort, and care they deserve.

💡 What Makes MMHC Different
We’re a one-stop shop for mental health and school-related support.
Whether your child needs psychoeducational testing for ADHD, learning disabilities, or giftedness, therapy for anxiety, mood, or behavior challenges, or you need guidance navigating IEPs, 504s, or school decisions—we're here to help.
I’m a big believer in approachable mental health and in creating a space that’s comfortable, inclusive, and judgment-free. My clients know me as a straight shooter with a soft side. You can come as you are—and talk about whatever’s on your heart.
Clients often say that walking into our office feels less like stepping into a professional practice and more like visiting a welcoming friend's house.
That’s intentional. We believe mental health spaces should feel safe, inviting, and deeply human—not clinical or intimidating. Here, comfort is part of the healing process.
