A space to feel deeply seen and supported
Online Therapy in New York for Women in Leadership and Helping Professions
You’ve been the strong one for so long.
The one who shows up, keeps it together, and carries what others can’t. On the outside, you look steady and capable, but inside, you’re tired, overwhelmed, and craving a moment to breathe.
You’re exhausted in a way that rest alone hasn’t been able to fix.
Even simple tasks feel heavier than they used to. Your mind is busy, your body feels tense, and you’re holding more than anyone sees. You keep pushing, but a part of you knows something needs to shift.
You’ve been carrying everyone else’s needs while quieting your own.
Old patterns of over-giving, perfection, responsibility, or survival mode are starting to catch up. You’re functioning but disconnected. You don’t feel like yourself, and you miss the version of you who felt grounded, confident, and in rhythm with your life.
You know you want support, and you’re just not used to receiving it.
You’re ready for a space where you don’t have to be the “strong one”, where you can release what’s weighing on you and reconnect with the parts of yourself you’ve had to put away to keep going.
Being the strong one has taken more from you than you realize
Hi, I’m Farah Morain, LCSW, SEP
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner in New York who supports women in slowing down, releasing what their bodies have been holding, and reconnecting with the grounded, steady version of themselves they’ve been missing.
I work with women who are overwhelmed, burnt out, and carrying far more than anyone realizes. Together, we gently unravel the stress, trauma, and emotional patterns that keep you in survival mode, so you can move through the world with more ease, clarity, and confidence.
My approach is gentle, collaborative, and grounded in mind-body-spirit healing. I blend Somatic Experiencing, Attachment Focused-EMDR, and nervous system regulation practices to help you soften tension, process what’s been weighing on you, and feel supported without the pressure to have everything figured out.
This is a space where you can finally exhale.
