The decision to seek psychotherapy is the first courageous step toward making significant changes in your life. Whether you are looking to find more effective ways of coping, more genuine ways of engaging in relationships or to uncover deeper aspects of yourself, my role is to provide a safe environment, accompany and assist you toward achieving these goals. Therapy often involves becoming familiar with different aspects of yourself and the surprising discovery of inner strengths you didn't know you had. In the context of a strong therapeutic relationship, this hard emotional work can reap great rewards.

Life can be quite stressful impacting how we feel on both a physical and psychological level. This can lead to depression and/or anxiety, which at times can negatively impact every area of life. There are many ways of coping that can help you become stronger in this process, leaving you with a more positive experience both within yourself and in your relationships. Letting go of old ways of living life that keep you stuck is not so difficult, it just takes acknowledging that this issue exists and skills (you already posses) that I can help you get back to.

I try to help patients discover those aspects of themselves, their partner, or relationship, enabling them to address their issue, moving to the next phase more satisfyingly. I do not bring any prior ideas or thoughts about the best outcome, but let my patient(s) guide the treatment. Working with someone means being available to the sort of dialogue that will be helpful. Some want to discuss a specific issue; with others, a larger pattern is revealed through our interactions. My adapting to the relationship, with the client not having to fit my style, is a particular strength of mine.

Welcome! My passion areas are helping couples break old patterns and communicate more effectively, and supporting individuals in healing childhood or sexual trauma, addictions, or unhelpful relationship patterns. If you feel stuck and need accountability, a loving challenge, and support from an experienced therapist, I am here to help. My style is direct, with honest feedback and accountability to move you forward. I am also psychodynamically trained to help you understand how the past informs the present and show you patterns in your life that may have been present with you for many years, but that aren't necessarily serving you.

Young adults (ages 18-40) have special needs, including: transitioning to new life events; feeling insecure about friendships; recognizing unresolved trauma/loss; creating a sustainable work/life balance (often while struggling with pressures to succeed and/or procrastination); and comparing themselves to others while efforting to figure out what they want professionally/socially/romantically. Because of the limited services in New York that address the specific needs of this population, Ms. Francis' private practice focuses on them.

Your thoughts are racing, stuck on replay. Your inner critic is winning. Life feels meaningless and exhausting. You want to escape reality. Feeling scared of vulnerability and hiding who you really are is wearing on you. Your relationships are draining. It feels like you're carrying around a body bag full of fears and insecurities. Feeling like a prisoner to your past is exhausting, too. Let’s face it: feeling confused, lost, and stuck has gotten old. Fortunately, you've come to the right place. Therapy can help. Life can be hard and feel overwhelming at times, but you don't have to live in pain.

I hold a doctoral degree in clinical psychology and have a private practice in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan, NY. I previously led a mindfulness meditation group at the University of Chicago, where I completed my doctoral and post-doctoral training. In my practice I work with late adolescents and adults across the lifespan. I consider myself a generalist as I do not limit my work to one type of person or concern, but I specifically enjoy working with people who have relational concerns. I seek to establish a trusting, accepting, and collaborative relationship with my clients to support them in navigating life's many challenges.

We are all born with the right to be happy, and we all have the capacity to heal. However, accessing these human truths sometimes feels impossible. Together, we can get to the root of what is getting in the way of you connecting to these ways of being, and empower you to know that you have the ability to change. Having a safe environment to explore challenges, uncertainty, or trauma, can help on the path to reconnecting with a stronger, more positive, sense of self.

Psychotherapy is about working together to create the best version of who you are and of your life at this moment.

Acknowledging a problem in your life is an important first step toward greater freedom and happiness. If you are reading this, I assume you may be ready to make the courageous decision to address it. Studies have shown that talk therapy can be a highly effective means of dealing with life problems, and of achieving meaningful and lasting change. While each treatment is unique depending on particular needs, psychotherapy may be understood generally as a collaborative process that works to clarify the deeper sources of your suffering, and to enable the constructive choices that can put your life on a new foundation.

We all seek happiness and want to rid ourselves of suffering so that we can enjoy our lives. Yet this seemingly simple goal is often the hardest one to reach. I strive to help people identify those things in the present and in their past that keep them from reaching their goals, and to creatively change patterns of feeling and thinking that get in the way. I have a special interest in working with non-conformist people in creative professions.

I hope to establish a cooperative and safe environment to work with individuals, couples, and families - one which offers reassurance to those courageous enough to seek therapy and are likely feeling overwhelmed by the process. I tailor therapy and discuss approaches that meet your needs (both short-term and long-term goals) at a pace and depth in which you are comfortable. I hope to help expand the richness of your emotional experiences, generate and evaluate alternative solutions with respect to the difficulties you face, and heighten your level of self-awareness.

I am a seasoned psychotherapist with many years of experience working with a diverse clientele. I believe that growth occurs in therapy not just from insight, but from the willingness to tolerate the discomfort of the unknown and experiment with new ways of being in and out of sessions. I strive to be an engaged and active partner in this work. I also do executive coaching for people in tech, finance and media-related fields. Although psychological factors are never entirely left out of this work, the focus is on optimizing professional goals.

My style of therapy is to try to understand the context of the symptom or problem you are having in order for us to have as much information and material to work with and to work through the problem. We tend to struggle with symptoms because we think of them discretely rather than expanding our lens to think about our struggles in a historical, environmental, and biological background. In working together to broaden the scope, we are better able to understand how the problem formed initially, its potential purpose in your life now, and how to move forward without its having the same negative impact.

The initial phone call or email to a therapist can sometimes feel like a daunting first step, and I aim to greet you with warmth and compassion. I view therapy as a journey of self discovery and a safe place to explore the relationship you have with yourself and others.

Some of my specialties include the treatment of binge-eating, bulimia, anorexia and other food and weight-related problems, as well as generalized anxiety and depression, difficulty with life transitions, low self esteem and general life stressors.
