I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, or addiction who are seeking a compassionate and understanding space to address their challenges. Many of the people I support face cultural or military-related concerns, severe mental health conditions, or difficulties with social skills. They strive to manage symptoms, enhance emotional regulation, improve interpersonal effectiveness, and achieve a sense of overall well-being. These individuals are motivated to engage in therapy, open to evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and CPT and are committed to creating positive changes in their lives.

A mentor once told me, "We can't negotiate the terms of our own surrender," and that has framed my approach toward acceptance and healing as we live life on life's terms. Sometimes we need to take a step back to reflect on a new way to approach situations when "our way" seems to be getting in our way. I invite you to bring awareness to what brought you to this page and if the above message resonates, let's chat.

Hello, I'm Servando ( AKA: El Guapo ) if you actually got that, then you know I have a sense of humor. ;-) "Do you struggle with communication, anger or abandonment and often feel powerless, alone, taken advantage of, unheard, or misunderstood?" I teach individuals to empower themselves through exploring self-efficacy by learning the barriers to communication, self-worth and exploring wholesome ways to manage communicate and adapt to personal struggles. Our feelings are ours and only ours, so why do we blame other when we experience an unpleasant feeling? (You pissed me off!)

You’ve spent years trying to make life make sense and to find where you fit in the world always feeling like an outsider, different from your family, or that you don’t belong. You bounce around from one hobby, friend group, or idea to another. Perhaps, your identity feels like it’s been chosen for you, and you’re ready to break free from expectations. Maybe you were praised your whole life for being a team player or high achiever in school or work, but the cost of that very thing has you full of stress and anxiety at home with partners, loved ones, and friends—seeking out external validation for shit you don’t really care about.

Couples tell me all the time that they had a relationship that started out great, and had high hopes for the future, and now there’s more conflict, stress and overwhelm than they ever wanted.

I work from a holistic and strength-based perspective in therapy. While therapy and traditional counseling tend to focus on pathology and deficits, I tend to focus on working with individual's already existing strengths to help them move beyond any concerns they may have. In addition, I conduct psychological, legal-medical, and forensic evaluations in my practice. I also contract with Workers Compensation to meet clients needs.

My name is Rodrigo Franco (LCSW, LAADC) and I have been working as a therapist for the past 11 years. I understand therapy as an opportunity for renewing and empowering ourselves. Thus, an opportunity for personal growth that affects all parties involved. My overall approach is to provide hope and the sense that change (regardless of the magnitude) is possible. I mainly work with adults and older adult clients that might be experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and grief. I also have experience working with mood disorders.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
