Do you feel like you are drowning in depression and anxiety? Are you experiencing strained relationships with those you love? Do you feel like you can’t breathe under the weight of the burdens you carry? Life can sometimes let us down. Things don’t always happen as we thought they should. In these seasons, we need a source of hope, trust, support, and wisdom.

Francesca’s theoretical foundation is based on an integrative approach, drawing from various theoretical orientations including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic theory, and humanistic-existential approaches, as well as client centered approaches. She believes that we can control the course of our lives and take ownership of our decisions. In her counseling approach, she utilizes direct theoretical techniques to aid the client in developing self-awareness. Francesca attaches great importance to the fact that counseling is a collaborative effort between the counselor and the client to support change.

C. S. Lewis said- “You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending”. As we walk through life, we are often twisted and discarded without a compass to guide us to normalcy. As a therapist, I have learned people are expected to have all the answers and insight to lifes’ problems. We are told always to be “okay”, but I am here to remind you that it’s okay, to not be okay at time. Let’s learn how to navigate our lives for ourselves first and families second. Your story is important, your “why” is important and understanding your purpose and sense of self

"Mental health isn't a thing. Talking about feelings and experiences isn't going to help. Things will get better by just putting my head down and powering through. I'm strong, self-reliant, and I don't need any help. I'll be fine just the way I am." These are all valid thoughts and feelings for an individual to have and many people believe these statements are true. Stereotypically, men especially, fall into these thought patterns. The numbers reflect this, approximately 30% vs 70% of those seeking counseling are men vs women. We are taught men don't have feelings and if they do they sure as hell don't talk to anybody about them.

It takes courage in recognizing the first step in your journey to healing. Making that initial call and asking for mental support can be daunting, but it is a journey you will continue to grow from throughout your life. I believe there must be a level of comfort and connection between therapist and client in order to feel emotionally safe and vulnerable. Together, we will work on creating a strong alliance that is built on trust, respect, and compassion. Recovery can be challenging, and may feel impossible- creating the space you need to explore your thoughts and behaviors can help you process where your feelings are coming from.

Do you ever feel stuck, but you can’t quite figure out why? You’re trying to do everything right, but for some reason, you just feel “off.” You’ve felt this way for a long time but can’t seem to shake it off to move forward. You try to stay present, but you get swept away by your mind and feel stuck in a loop. As important as it is to focus on the present, you cannot ignore your past. When you have felt stuck for a while, it’s important to go back and look at the roots of why you’re suffering. The hurt you experienced as a child does not just go away because you’re older. It still impacts you today in ways you don’t even realize.

I believe that therapy can be for everyone. Personal growth is a life long journey and therapy can help people realistically asses themselves and the manner in which they perceive, interact, and act within their world. I am here to help people achieve a change that promotes balance, growth, understanding and to become a “Master of their actions, not a prisoner of their reactions”.
I also believe humor can be used as an integral tool in the therapy experience. It often illuminates the many strange and challenging predicaments that we all face at times.

Obtaining guidance and compassion in a time of adversity can be intimidating and nerve wrecking. Finding a safe place to explore and process the distressing situations of a person’s life is crucial in the healing process. As a Social Worker for the past 10+ years I have dedicated my practice to helping children and families. Sometimes school, family or relationships can become overwhelming and I can provide a safe space for children/adolescents, adults, and their families to explore the issues leading to their distress. Often we lack the coping skills to deal with the stressors in life and this is where I can help.

No matter where we are in our life's journey there will be transitions and thresholds that create discomfort, and no one should have to endure these alone. I enjoy helping adolescents to older adults and couples living with anxiety, depression, or AHDH, or experiencing challenges - like PTSD, recent/past trauma, to regain a sense of agency, and connection in order to move through difficulties, create meaning and make the most out of every day.

Often times I find that the reoccurring themes in life are the challenges that require the greatest attention. Waking up from unconscious living is hard enough - doing that alone is even more cause to want to go back to sleep. Come in, I'd welcome the opportunity to work with you. Trying on a new perspective might be the way to seeing the possibilities you have! Half of the journey is making the call for help - the other half is working through the filters created from past experiences.

Hi there! I am here to support you through whatever journey you may be on in life. There is so much that happens day to day, it’s very easy to become overwhelmed! When we slow down and take it one step at a time, we are able to accomplish goals, establish new ways of thinking, and develop a range of coping skills. I do my best to meet you where you are, and together we can move forward to achieve your goals! Therapy is not a one fits all, so I work from a combination of modalities, mostly CBT, strengths based, and motivational interviewing depending on the goals of each person. I am accepting new clients via telehealth.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
