Message to clients

Thank you for visiting my profile. If my personal statement resonates with you, please visit my website, bedstuywellness.

I am a Korean-American, mother of two daughters; one in college, the other a freshman in high school I've been living in Brooklyn, NY. for 20 years, but am originally from Los Angeles, CA. I bring all my life experience, and all of the challenges I have overcome to my therapy work.

I find psychotherapy is a collaboration between the clinician and the client. If you are stuck or struggling but open to change, I am ready to help you create a vibrant life you love.

Looking forward to connecting with you.

Warmly,

Sonya Farrell LMSW
