We are delighted to introduce you to our team!
IPH aims to bring excellent psychological services to children, adolescents and adults. We care about the art and science of psychological health treatment and believe in a wellness-focused, mind-body approach to care! Our providers are highly trained, caring and compassionate. We work collaboratively with our patients and their other health providers to develop a holistic plan of care. We have similar values in regard to treatment, believing in a person-centered approach to care, and utilizing evidence (research) based gold standard treatments. Our therapists do their best to improve the psychological outlook of our clients, knowing that there is no "us versus them" when it comes to mental and physical health. Decreasing stigma surrounding mental illness is an important first step.
Our providers are independent contractors with the practice. If a treatment issue arises, please inform your individual provider.

Dr. Adriana Faur, PhD
Dr. Faur is a clinical psychologist and the founder of IPH. Dr. Faur’s approach to psychotherapy guides people into gaining understanding in the ways in which they shape and are shaped by their life experiences. It is with this insight that individuals will obtain relief from distress, and be able to progress toward their life goals. As Viktor Frankl described, human beings may not only survive, but flourish even under the direst of circumstances. This growth is possible through a journey of self-discovery within a trusted collaborative therapeutic relationship. Dr. Faur's person centered, humanistic approach in therapy is caring, empathic, accepting and prizing. Therapy goals are made in collaboration, based on each person's unique concerns. Dr. Faur believes in an interdisciplinary team approach to care.
In the treatment of adults, Dr. Faur uses a combination of time-limited therapy techniques including process experiential (emotion focused) therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Assertiveness Training, Social Skills training, Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Mindfulness training. Dr. Faur became certified in CBT by the Cleveland VA in 2013. Dr. Faur became certified in telebehavioral health through the Telebehavioral Health Institute in 2018, in order to help clients have access to individual therapy, who may not be able to come in for a variety of reasons. This means using a HIPAA compliant video platform to engage in individual therapy with clients who are residents of Ohio. If you are interested in telemental health treatment, please contact us for more information.
With preteens and teens Dr. Faur uses a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, play based techniques and social skills training to understand and treat a variety of problems. The first goal is to really understand what the child is struggling with, by conducting a thorough psychological evaluation. Dr. Faur then works with parents to develop a plan that works for their child as an individual, whether the problem may be related to anxiety, procrastination, avoidance, depression, stress or various psychological disorders.
Dr. Faur has been seeing patients since her first clinical practicum in 2002. Dr. Faur's training entailed working with children and adolescents suffering from a variety of disorders and life issues (i.e. anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, neglect, grieving, developmental disorders, and autism) while a graduate student at Cleveland State University and University of Toledo. Dr. Faur was a psychology fellow in Psychiatry at the Boston University School of Medicine/Center for Multicultural Training in Psychology. There she provided intensive inpatient and outpatient psychotherapy to adults with diverse biopsychosocial needs. Prior to starting her current practice, Dr. Faur worked with veterans for over four years at the Cleveland VA Medical Center providing individual outpatient therapy. Dr. Faur has been teaching psychology courses for almost a decade at various universities, including University of Massachusetts and Lasell College in Boston, and most recently at Cleveland State University. Dr. Faur’s research orientation has been in the areas of trauma and related disorders, resiliency/growth and multiculturalism.
Dr. Faur values understanding clients' needs from a culturally sensitive perspective. She engages in trauma-informed, culturally sensitive therapy with immigrants and refugees in our community. She is LGBTQIA affirming. People of color, members of the LGBTQ community and other minorities are frequently subjected to trauma, microaggressions and societal stigmas. As a clinician Dr. Faur recognizes that all people responding to these experiences may frequently be misdiagnosed and suffer further because of these compounding experiences. With this understanding she will support you as you learn to cope with these histories of experiences.
Adriana is bilingual in English and Romanian, proficient in French and has intermediate knowledge of Spanish. In her personal time, she enjoys music, yoga, the arts, cooking, reading, chasing her dog and spending time with family and friends.
