Hi there. I’m Brad Farinacci, BA, RSSW. I am a Registered Social Service Worker, Psychotherapist in St. Catharines, ON. My education and training include a Social Service Worker Diploma (Niagara College), Bachelor of Arts in Social Sciences (Brock University), and substantial coursework in Clinical Mental Health Counselling (Niagara University). 

Before moving to private practice, I held a variety of roles in counselling and case management in community social service agencies. This experience includes:

• Facilitating a large caseload of chronically homeless individuals, helping them address the root causes of homelessness and secure and maintain safe and affordable housing

• Coaching employment and training seekers to find and secure suitable employment, training and educational opportunities

• Supporting children and youth (and their families) with mental health challenges in group settings and crisis intervention

• Supporting and counselling individuals in addiction recovery and mental wellness

• Assisting families access food bank and community services

When I'm not seeing clients, you'll find me writing and playing music, camping, and generally just outdoors. I can talk about baseball all day. I am proud to be well rounded, and I connect easily with most folks. I have a keen interest in working with musicians, artists, and other creative types. Even if you’re not, I’d be honoured to help you navigate this wild ride!
