Regina Faridnia, LCSW

About Regina

I am the primary therapist/clinician at Indigena Counseling & Wellness Center. I am available to provide somatic psychotherapy, as well as, consultation.  Are you tired of talk therapy?  Somatic approaches allow the brain and nervous system to process issues and move towards regulation without necessarily needing talk to occur. What this means is that neuroscience and brain based techniques will be integrated into our work together.    I am also specialized in providing consultation to Brainspotting clinicians seeking certification and offer a BIPOC discount.  

​

We will allow your nervous system and brain to lead the process to help the body and mind to move toward health and regulation naturally.  Techniques such as Brainspotting, Somatic Experiencing, Somatic Archaelogy, Mindfulness, Biofeedback & EMDR are effective ways to help the body to naturally resolve stress,  as well as, improve emotional and physical health.  Shifts happen organically and are better sustained than with traditional talk therapy approaches.

Would you like to try an integrative and holistic approach to mental, physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing?  This process can promote stress reduction, reduce trauma response, and increases one's ability to cope with and express difficult emotions.

We can explore how personal or family trauma has affected your life and shift to healthier patterns of communicating and living, not through talk but through working directly with the brain. How might it be to experience the benefits of a healthier brain and nervous system such as stress reduction/burnout prevention, increased relaxation, less pain, more creativity, better performance and/or a more regulated state of being?   We can also help encourage expansion of creativity and performance.  This work is very exciting and expansive, as there is always room for growth.

I know that it is sometimes hard to meet in the office. Sometimes you’re too busy, live too far away, or have trouble finding childcare. So I’ve added video counseling services. Now we can meet wherever it’s most convenient for you – your couch, your kitchen, or your hotel room.  All you need is a computer and broadband internet access. It’s secure and accepted by major health insurance companies. And - perhaps the best reason to consider it is the ease of use. If you’ve got any questions at all just let me know. I’m happy to help you figure out whether video sessions make sense for you.
