Meet Susan Farber
My name is Susan Farber and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice with a specialty in sport psychology. For over 20 years, I have been helping athletes of all ages and skill level unleash their full potential both in their sport and life.
Education and Training
My education began at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology in 1989. I then graduated from Antioch University, Santa Barbara, in 1993 with a Masters of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology. As an intern, I received specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mind-Body Modalities at the Family Service Agency. I also developed expertise in treating individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury and Stroke while working at a neuro-cognitive rehabilitation facility for 7 years.
In 2002, I became licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist and entered into private practice. I developed an interest in sport psychology as a competitive cyclist and pursued advanced training in peak performance from California Southern University and the Association of Applied Sport Psychology.
