I've worked with hundreds of children and parents throughout my career, as well as leading parenting groups and workshops to address the needs specific to these populations.
Both children and adults can benefit from the support of a therapeutic relationship. With over 30 years of experience as a crisis counselor and psychotherapist, I'm passionate about helping people build healthier, more satisfying relationships and lives. My therapeutic approach focuses on reducing stressors and building on strengths by enhancing insight and understanding and ultimately replacing negative behavior and communication patterns with healthier ones. I work with compassion and respect while actively, yet gently guiding clients to progress toward awareness, growth and healing.

I see mental health for young people as an ongoing process where a support system is developed and utilized throughout childhood and adolescence.
I work with children, adolescents, young adults and their families during periods of turmoil and crisis. Your son or daughter has become more distant; grades are less predictable; friends may have changed and there is more conflict at home. Intuitively, you know something is going on, but aren't able to reach them. This is often the time where a therapist can bridge the gap.

I enjoy working with children,adolescents, adults, and couples, as well as providing ongoing support to parents and families.
As a psychologist with over 20 years of experience, I seek to provide a nonjudgmental and nurturing environment in which you can explore your current struggles. I believe that the therapist client relationship is critical to help you effect the positive change you are looking for. Together we can explore the patterns in your life that are preventing you from living the life you want and we can work to set realistic goals. Although I am trained using a psychodynamic approach, I also utilize DBT and mindfulness to help clients cope with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and other mental health concerns.

I have experience working with all ages, including children and teens.
Making the decision to seek therapy can be difficult, whether it is for yourself, your child or a family member who is in need of support. Seeking help is not a sign of weakness, but strength to decide to change and be in charge of your own transformation, whatever that may be. I integrate the use of clinical Art Therapy to aid a client’s process and externalize challenges they may have, including issues of trauma, eating disorders, self-harm, grief and loss, medical trauma and major life transitions. I am dedicated to having clients feel empowered and to identify their strengths with self-acceptance and the healing process.

Complications with communication, sex, money, children, time-crunches, demands, stress, and different values or personality styles are resolved, reconfigured, respected and changed until everyone is satisfied.
Relationships between husbands, wives, lovers, boy/girl friends, children or parents can be tricky. Happy, satisfying and fulfilling relationships require attention, energy, fun, humor, communication, time and investment of yourself. Too often relationships are hampered by misunderstandings, hurtful actions, stress, differences of opinions, unmet needs, and different expectations. Personality changes over time, affairs of the heart, infidelity, unmet sexual intimacy, abuse, cruel words, neglect, self-centeredness, different communication styles, different goals, values and dissimilar interests or fun activities also create unhappiness in relationships. Dr. Carol Francis has worked with relationships satisfaction for 32 years. 310-543-1824 or RelationshipSatisfactionNow.com and drcarolfrancis.com pathstosuccesses.com

I help people who feel stuck in some area/s of their life and want to get unstuck. Sometimes a strategy that used to be effective no longer works, or we just feel disappointed or even frustrated with the way things are going and want to make a change. I assist children, adolescents and adults with social, emotional and academic challenges, helping them to identify and hone their individual strengths and work effectively with any challenges. I tailor the treatment plan to fit my client's goals. My approach is genuine, and I give feedback that is culturally sensitive and constructive.

My work with children, adolescents, individuals and families is based on the idea that each person holds the key to discovering their own solutions. Counseling provides a safe environment to explore thoughts and feelings in a non-judgemental and nurturing space. You and your child will be taught coping skills and concrete tools to use in dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, learning difficulties and feelings of frustration. I have extensive experience with trauma, ADHD, depression and anxiety disorders.

I enjoyed very much my post licensure work at a family institute. Whether working with a child, an adolescent, an adult, a dyad or the whole family, I will initially focus on the person suffering the most. Based on the presenting symptom, I may do brief crisis intervention to stabilize a situation until an individual's underlying issue has been crystallized. The life issue causing depression, anxiety, and fears will then be addressed in more depth. My approach is to assist people in their own healing, maximizing on their own strengths and resources.
