Concrete Wave aims to give people a vastly different perspective on skateboarding. Some years ago we learned of Isaac Farin's unique approach to using longboards as therapeutic tools; Longboard Therapy. We all know the special power that skateboarding has in our lives and we hope you are inspired by Isaac's work.

My Fiancé and I went to Isaac Farin Therapy LLC. for pre-marital classes and I have to say what Isaac did for us MAY have saved our relationship/marriage. He took the time to not only get to know us, but to listen to each of our issues in a non-bias way. Within a few months we were able to resolve our differences. Speaking from firsthand experience, go with an open mind and you will be amazed as to what he can do to better you inside and out as an individual or couple. My wife and I were truly happy to become stronger than ever during this process! Thank you Isaac!

We started our court referred family therapy in 2012, and going into it I didn't think it was going to make a difference in the way my children's father and I got along and worked together as co- parents. We are both different in our mind sets and outlooks on life and how it should be to parent our children. By the end of our sessions working with Isaac we learned great tools on how to work together. And he taught us to take into consideration the different perspective of the other parent. It helped us to pull our differences together (and some of them aside) and blend them. We are now doing very well. And the kids are much happier. Thank you Isaac! (:

Client

When my grandson (11 years old) and Isaac met for the first time, it was so cool. He related to Isaac right away. Thank you Isaac for teaching and giving my grandson the tools on how to live life in a more happy way while helping him develop a higher self-esteem.

After my wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and had a recurrence, she started seeing a therapist but was not satisfied with her and then we were fortunate to have found Isaac Farin. At that time my wife was very depressed and emotionally devastated due to the recurrence, given that the cancer had originally been detected at an early stage. I remember not having much hope that she would be able to overcome the emotional devastation she was suffering from, due to her prognosis. Although it took some time for her to start showing progress, she felt hopeful after just one session with Isaac. After a few months of therapy she was able to accept and live with her condition as I never thought she could. After she passed away I started seeing Isaac myself to help me get through my grieving. Isaac asked if I would be interested in Longboard therapy® and I agreed. I had no idea what benefit this would have but I trusted him and was open to it. I remember the first time we went riding and thinking how exercising is healing in itself. Longboarding forced me to focus and be in the moment, allowing me to escape from my grieving and enjoy my surroundings. Longboarding also helped me build confidence, physical and mental health balance. I’m very grateful we found Isaac to help us both in what was the most difficult time of our lives.

My boyfriend and I began having issues that we couldn’t seem to resolve on our own. We decided to seek professional help and were fortunate enough to find Isaac. I can sincerely say that if it weren’t for his help, we probably wouldn’t still be together today. He was able to help us find the tools within ourselves to open up to one another and effectively communicate. We set goals and reached them by the end of our 6th session. Not only did we overcome the issues we originally set out to resolve, but we also gained the priceless knowledge of how to handle any future problems.

Client

First when I heard I was going to see a new therapist I didn't want to go because I was already exposed to 3 different therapists and found them all boring and I didn't get much out of it. As soon as Isaac asked me to do long board therapy I knew it was going to be fun. Isaac has done a lot for me and we both had fun doing it together. My mom brought me to Isaac because she wasn't seeing me happy. After I completed my long board sessions with Isaac I came out happy. I learned how to make better decisions in my life, see things in a positive way, and always to be the bigger man. Thank you Isaac for all you have shown me.

Client

Dear Isaac, time just flew by and a lot has happened. Thank you for your spiritual approach to therapy. A New Earth, Moses Code, and the Monk who Sold His Ferrari! Thank you for helping me cope with the separation from my dog. And most of all your realistic approach to smoking cessation the loudest lesson yet. Thank you for being my therapist!

Client

Mr. Farin, I am lucky to be a patient at your practice. We are performing wonders in my life. I am changing gradually from how I was accustomed to thinking! May God bless you and thank you!

Client

Isaac, I could remember surfing the Internet and comparing who I was going to do my EAP sessions with and then I was brought to your site. When I called you, I don't know how to put my hand around it, but the energy in your voice was different. Of course, I didn't know what to expect due to the fact that I have never received therapy sessions before, but I know and I can feel that you love what you do, so today give me the opportunity to say that I appreciate you.

Client

Dear Isaac, You can't imagine how grateful I am to have you as a therapist. You have helped me so much to understand myself and the guilt feelings that I have. I am happy that you came into my life. Thank you so much!

Client

I wanted to let you know that I am blessed to have you come into our lives. You are an incredibly talented, passionate, and skilled therapist. I want to thank you for helping us to repair our marriage and move to a new dimension. It has been enlightening, cleansing and very much needed. We really appreciate you Isaac more than we could express in words. Thank you for the rocks!! It is another new addition to my new chapter.

Client

I've been unsuccessfully trying to quit smoking cigarettes for the past 10 years. I've tried the patch, the gum, laser light therapy, self help books, cold turkey, and everything failed. I felt absolutely hopeless about quitting and even referred to myself as "a lifer" when others around me would ask about my intentions to quit. As a desperate effort, I began to do research on success rates of smoking cessation through hypnosis. After working with Isaac Farin, I'm honestly surprised to be able to call myself a Non-Smoker. Isaac's consultative, approach is unlike anything else out there. He takes the time to investigate the underlying issues associated with smoking and attacks them head on. Isaac never promised me that I would be cured in a certain number of sessions and ultimately, the power to change is obviously found within each specific person but the Mindfulness, Meditation, and Hypnosis were a knock-out combination! I frankly can't thank Isaac enough and can recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to make a change in their lives.

Client

Isaac is a cool therapist. We share things in common, like different kinds of sports. I can always count on him to lesson me and help me see things in a positive way. He introduced me to longboarding therapy . Isaac is a genius, he taught me how life and longboarding fit together. Isaac has respect for me and my family.

Client- Longboard Therapy^® (age 11)

I am an Orthodox Jewish woman who has studied and observed Torah for many years. My experience in working with Isaac has given me the tools to enable me to integrate all the Torah knowledge I have acquired into "practical application" in my life, on a daily basis. I highly recommend his approach and expertise to anyone seeking a more balanced and less stressful life. I personally am very grateful for the work that he does.

Client

After a devastating loss I found myself feeling completely out of tune. I specifically sought Isaac Farin's longboard therapy because I wanted an unconventional method to find my balance. I've had a profound change in my well-being since I began therapy. Not only did I learn how to ride a longboard, I also gained the tools to lead a more mindful life. Implementing mindful meditation and a gratitude journal in my daily life are just some of the wonderful tools I received. Learning to find solutions by being present in the moment has enabled me to regain my balance and focus. Thanks to Isaac Farin Therapy I've finally got my groove back. I highly recommend longboard therapy with Isaac Farin. His unique vision of therapy is priceless. I wish everyone had the chance to work with such an amazing therapist.

Dr. Anne Rambo- Associate professor, family therapy

Eight months ago, before I started seeing Dr Farin, I was quite literally ready to hurl myself off a bridge. I was lonely, lethargic, stressed out, and ready to end it all as soon as possible; less than a year later I've learned to love myself, alleviate my anxiety, and savor every moment in which I am lucky enough to be alive in this beautiful, mysterious, and complex universe that we live in. The work that I've been able to do with Isaac over the past few months has genuinely saved my life and I could not recommend his form of solution-oriented therapy any more highly.

Client

As Isaac's doctor and friend I feel compelled to write about Isaac's positive outlook to healing. While rehabilitating a dislocated shoulder for 10 months over the past year, I learned a lot about Isaac's positive outlook and determination to get well. His mind frame was consistent even though there were minor setbacks at different times but he never gave up. On a personal note, Isaac has been a great friend to me and my family for many years now and he is always a pleasure to talk to. I would feel confident in referring Isaac to my patients that are having trouble getting through a tough injury or trauma in their life and I feel his techniques and professionalism would be extremely helpful in those situations.

Dr. Michael S. Wendrow D. C.

At the losses of my business and my divorce, I felt despair and hopelessness. Depression took over my life completely for 12 months. I was restless with anxiety / panic attacks. I thought about seeking help and at about 3:00 am one morning I googled psychotherapist and found Dr. Isaac Farin's web page and made an appointment to see him out of mere curiosity. After my third visit, in wonder and surprise, I started to feel all my ill feelings change. It was like I was crawling out of a deep dark hole and I began to feel as if I was released from being imprisoned. I got me a fantastic job, one of the most beautiful women I could have ever asked for, a new car, a new residence, and a brand new life.  Dr. Isaac is now our marriage and family counselor and we will visit his practice for a very long time. Thanks to Dr. Farin for saving my life! He has picked me up and dusted me off and I now began to live after seeing what real life is all about. I am now living life at its very best now, and I know that the sad, hopeless, depressive rainy days and nights were just a horrible nightmare! Now it's all joy and happiness and a "BEAUTIFUL LIFE"....
