Grace for Your Interior Wild
Hi, I’m Faren.
I’m glad you’re here.
Every season of life requires a different kind of presence. Sometimes we need to root down, and sometimes we need to look up.
Whether your journey requires the deep-soil work of Christian-based clinical therapy, the high-altitude vision of coaching, or encouragement within the global heartbeat of ministry and missions, let this page be your point of entry.
Whatever has brought you to this threshold today, we can navigate the complexities of your story with warmth, faith, and a grounded perspective.
Faren Zayda is a licensed therapist and global counselor, currently serving from the highlands of Ecuador as a Christian missionary.

Focus Areas:
My clinical expertise is a tapestry woven over decades, blending a deep personal interest in the human spirit with specialized training in complex healing. I serve a broad range of clients, from children and teens to couples and families, and my work is rooted in the "braver route" toward wholeness.
I specialize in navigating the complexities of trauma and PTSD, neurodivergence, self esteem and stress, and couples work, including healing betrayal trauma. Whether you are seeking to repair attachment wounds, overcome deep-seated stress, or reconnect with your calling and Christian devotion, I provide a compassionate, informed space to explore your interior world and find meaning again.
Professional Background:
Holding a Master’s in Psychology and Counselling, my professional journey has spanned decades and continents. Having lived and worked within diverse cultural landscapes in South Africa, Canada, the USA, and South America, I bring a global perspective that allows me to connect easily across various cultural and religious backgrounds.
My commitment to your care is reflected in my dedication to lifelong learning; I am constantly updating my certifications and training to ensure I am providing the most current, evidence-based therapies within my scope. From infancy to elder care, my experience is as broad as it is deep, grounded in both rigorous academic study and hands-on ministerial service.
First Steps:
Beginning your journey of healing is an act of courage, and I have designed the process to be as seamless as possible. To start, simply create an account on my secure client portal to book your initial session and complete the intake forms (please note that payment is required upfront for all first-time bookings).
Once the logistics are settled, I invite you to attend our session from a space where you feel most at ease, whether that is by candlelight with a favorite drink, from the quiet of your car, or at your favorite café. I personally review every intake form to ensure we are the right fit, and if I have any questions or feel your needs are outside my current scope, I will reach out to you directly before we meet.
