Brenda Farias is currently pursuing her Master of Social Work at Pacific Oaks College, driven by a commitment to support and advocate for the mental health and well‑being of individuals and their communities. She holds an A.S. in Child Development from Rio Hondo College and a B.A. in Sociology from California State University, Dominguez Hills.

Brenda brings over 11 years of experience in early childhood education, working closely with preschool‑aged children and their families. Her time in the field has shaped her understanding of the world through the eyes of young children and deepened her appreciation for the power of family, connection, and community. These experiences sparked her passion for helping others in moments of need and strengthened her dedication to fostering mental health, resilience, and holistic wellness.

Outside of her clinical work, Brenda enjoys spending quality time with her family, taking long walks, exploring national parks, and enjoying cozy movie nights at home. She and her family also share a love for creative arts and often spend time painting, drawing, and coloring together.
