About Fareiza

Fareiza is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the Internship Director at Balanced Wellness. Fareiza serves clients virtually across North Carolina. She brings over 20 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families, with a deep commitment to serving military communities. Her work is grounded in compassion, clinical expertise, and an understanding of the complex emotional and relational challenges that arise across different life stages.

Ideal Client

Fareiza specializes in working with active-duty military members, veterans, and their families, with particular interest in supporting mothers and fathers navigating parenthood and major life transitions. Her ideal clients may be experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, adjustment difficulties, or perinatal mental health challenges.

Many of the clients Fareiza supports are coping with stressors related to military service, including deployment, reintegration, shifting family roles, and the emotional demands placed on caregivers and parents. Clients often seek therapy that feels both supportive and practical as they work toward greater balance, resilience, and emotional well-being.

Therapeutic Approach

Fareiza takes a collaborative, strengths-based approach to therapy that honors each client’s lived experience and builds upon their existing strengths. Her work focuses on increasing emotional awareness, strengthening coping skills, and fostering resilience while supporting clients through meaningful personal and relational change.

She utilizes an integrative, evidence-based framework, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-focused interventions, Exposure Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), couples therapy, emotional intelligence frameworks, and perinatal mental health principles. Treatment is flexible and individualized, allowing Fareiza to meet clients where they are while supporting sustainable growth and healing.
