Thanks for viewing my professional profile. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with more than 18 years experience, including working in hospitals, private clinics, and as the Clinical Director of an in-patient residential facility. My experience includes treating a broad range of issues including addiction, depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, divorce, parenting children with special needs, post-partum depression and schizophrenia.

A graduate of the University of Southern California, I became involved in trauma and play therapy while at UCLA's Department of Pediatrics. Transitioning to private practice in 2003, I continue to work with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder as an EMDR Certified Therapist, I serve adults, children and adolescents with Anxiety Disorders, Depression, Eating Disorders, and ADD/ADHD, as well as individuals and families with grief and loss, stage of life/adjustment, behavioral, attachment, domestic violence and other abuse issues.

Seeking out help takes courage. There is a level of vulnerability that is required when meeting someone new and sharing material that has possibly never been shared before. In fact, this can feel daunting. Perhaps you aren't where you'd like to be in life. There's a chance you aren't satisfied in your relationship(s). Or maybe you just need some help because what is being done simply is not working anymore. I believe the goal is to grow into our healthiest and most authentic selves.

My passion is providing therapy to individuals and families to help them have greater joy in their life and relationships and to overcome painful feelings and life experiences. Have you ever felt a negative emotion for long periods of time? Anger, sadness, worry, fear, guilt, or shame? Have these feelings been combined with negative thoughts that play over and over in your mind, no matter how hard you try not to think about them? Did these thoughts and feelings begin after a life event or experience. Or, did they seem to come out of nowhere? Either way, if you are looking for support and relief I am here to help.

I am currently accepting clients searching for a therapist who: 1. Needs support with their child’s challenging behaviors. 2. In the early postpartum years, that is struggling with symptoms of anxiety and depression. I bring a unique specialization in working with children and families. I support you and your family by building upon your strengths and providing the tools you need to thrive. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with specialized training in perinatal mental health. Additionally, I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. I've supported families in the home and school across Ventura and Los Angeles.

I am a Board Certified psychotherapist. Many clients simply need help in handling a family or personal crisis, or guidance through a transitional period in their lives. I encourage goal setting, specific objectives, strategies and time frames. I also have extensive experience responding to the needs of women, men and couples who are having difficulty juggling family, finances, work stress and intimate relationships.

Licensed and specializing in eating disorders, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationships, and more. I provide you with Zoom, FaceTime and/or phone sessions. I have personal experience recovering from an eating disorder as well as internship practice and experience with cancer patients, victims of crime, children, and teens.

As we travel this journey of life, sometimes the way to health and wholeness is not too clear. During these times, it's helpful to have a partner to walk with you. I have been in practice for nearly twenty years, helping individuals, families, couples and groups facing a wide variety of challenges. I treat individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, job-related issues, grief, and religious trauma. I have advanced training in the treatment of trauma, both single incident and long-term.

Some Adults, Teens and Children in our community face issues of stress, fear of underachieving, depression, body-image concerns, eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia or over-eating), relationship traumas (affairs, divorce, abuse, child custody battles), addictions. Other adults face unsettling retirement, empty nest syndrome, elder care concerns, serious illnesses, definite anxiety and feelings of meaninglessness. Couples become estranged: lacking in communication, connection and emotional or sexual intimacy. As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Licensed Marriage, Family & Child Therapist and Counselor for over 30 years, Dr. Carol Francis uses multiple researched tools helping individuals, couples, and families create satisfaction and well-being.

I am passionate about working with teens, young adults, and individuals who need a supportive space as they navigate the challenges in life, work, and relationships. I bring a compassionate perspective to healing that honors the mind and body connection. I work collaboratively with my clients to create a path toward healing that is unique to your needs. I am devoted to holding a safe space for your experience where we can explore and process old narratives and behavior patterns that are no longer working and create new meaning that will move your life forward.

Hi! I'm Nicole Williams, LMFT! I'm so happy you're taking the first step in reaching out to find a therapist! Are you experiencing relationship challenges, looking to improve communication or heal from infidelity? Would you like to explore your gender identity? Would you like to discuss dynamics around navigating your consensually non-monogamous relationship? Are you unhappy with your sex life? Do you want to improve your sexual health or increase your sexual knowledge? Would you like to heal from past sexual trauma? I can help! You deserve to live a sexually fulfilling life!

I feel incredibly privileged to have experienced firsthand the growth and healing that can come from a safe therapeutic relationship and I’m committed to providing that same experience for you. My approach is based on a warm, non-judgmental attitude, sustained empathic resonance, and sincere care. You will feel deeply listened to by me.

I'm not perfect but I do practice what I preach. I'm here because I found it difficult to find the help I needed and I hope my presence makes it easier for those in need now. I'm not here to judge you or tell you what to do. I am here to help you understand yourself so you can choose to take action on improving the quality of your life.

The most important job I have as a Clinical Psychologist is to create a non-judgmental and safe space to foster insight and growth in my clients. Having worked as a therapist since 2015, my goal is to help you see things in a new way, work towards creating fulfilling relationships with others and yourself, and to help you find relief from anxiety, depression, trauma and other things that prevent you from enjoying a full life. Over the years I’ve provided psychotherapy and counseling to adolescents, adults and couples from a wide range of life-experiences.

As a therapist, I know that sometimes, you may just need someone to listen and walk through a difficult season in life with you. You may find yourself in need of a safe place to explore your thoughts and feelings about dating, a significant relationship or a life transition. You may be coping with pain in ways that are self-destructive, or feeling "stuck", sad, and/or overwhelmed by worry. I offer understanding and caring, compassionate feedback. My goal is to help you tap into your own inner wisdom, so that you can heal, grow, and thrive- ultimately living a more fulfilling life.

We specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is an effective treatment for depression, anxiety, and other issues.

Relief from anxiety, depression, fears or angers gives you room to live your life fully. Self-improvement (your mind, body, self-esteem, capacity for satisfying/exciting relationships and powerful career advances) can move you leaps and bounds toward a richer, lively life. Eliminating habits (smoking, over-eating, lack of exercise, substances, etc) frees you to be you. Creating new paths after divorce, death, traumatic disruptions, leads toward a self-directed future. Through many different therapeutic approaches--well researched and tested-- you can attain your goals & dreams for your fuller, peaceful life. www.drcarolfrancis.com or call 310-543-1824.
