worker community of Fellsmere. He was awarded a Fellsmere Medical Center Behavioral Health contract of over $50,000.

Under the contract, Farber will provide bilingual behavioral health services to the center’s patients. These include psychological evaluations, individual
psychotherapy, and marital, couples and family psychotherapy. Doctoral-level Students in Florida Tech’s accredited Psy.D. Clinical Psychology program will
