"We all have our unique life stories with challenges and difficulties. Therapy allows us to share our stories in a safe and supportive environment so that we can gain insight and learn to work through our issues and problems in our own way. When you meet with a therapist, you should be able to trust their work and feel respected and cared for. These qualities will help you and your therapist to build a strong therapeutic alliance, a partnership toward your treatment goal."

"Imagine what your life could look like if you felt more in control, self-assured, energetic and hopeful about the future. Your conflicts and challenges don't need to define you, consume you, or prevent you from being able to enjoy the life or relationships you desire. Imagine feeling wonderful just as you are. What if you had fulfilling, healthy relationships (with your spouse/partner, family, friends, colleagues or children), despite anxiety, changing roles or circumstances, traumatic experiences, addiction or abuse, grief, loss, or guilty feelings? Let me help you heal old wounds and create a life you love living."

"With 20 plus years of working with individuals and families, I specialize in helping people make changes/progress with depression, anxiety, marital discord, parenting, behaviors, academics and other life challenges. As a therapist, I take a nonjudgemental approach in helping people take control of their lives. Some things to ask yourself: Are you dealing with anxiety, depression, or another life challenge? Does your child/adolescent need assistance in expressing feelings? Do you fight over homework? Does your child/adolescent push the limits? Does your child/adolescent lack motivation? Becoming stronger as an individual/family unit and strengthening boundaries and roles are my number one goals."

"Life is unpredictable and often throws trials that we weren’t expecting. To combat this I work with children, teens and adults to heal and grow. Whether it is dealing with sadness, anxiety, life transitions or parenting concerns, everyone deserves someone to talk to. Many times when we leave these problems unresolved they compound and hurt other areas of life."

"You are not alone, everybody suffers and feels stuck from time to time. Although we cannot change the past, we can change the present and achieve the future we want. My role is to help you fulfill your goals with ease... yes, with ease. Everything gets easier with a coach or therapist at your side, a person who truly sees and hears you. So if you feel lost and confused, betrayed and angry, anxious and unable to sleep, alone, desperate and stuck, please call me. I will be your support in creating unexpected solutions, success and joy in your life."

"Humans are meant to have support through pain, challenges, and life's many transitions. Yet, modern life can feel frantic and disconnecting. You may find yourself lost in the chaos, feeling lonely, depressed, and worried. It can be difficult to find spaces where you are truly seen, understood, and accepted, let alone able to express your pain, challenges, and dreams. You are not alone in your longing to authentically speak, feel, and process your life. You are taking the first step by seeking the support you need. "

"Clients who benefit from my help appreciate a therapist who is warm, nurturing and supportive in his approach and at the same time confronts the difficult issues that bring people to seek my assistance. I am an experienced clinician, and I draw upon a variety of techniques ranging from talk therapy to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, hypnosis and EMDR. My clients feel I help them with life issues including depression, anxiety, and trauma. I provide marital and family counseling, and I treat Borderline Personality Disorder as well."

"Do you want more out of your life and relationships, yet unsure of how to make that happen? Are you able to imagine the life you want but feelings of self-doubt, unworthiness and fear seem to always get in your way? You're not alone. Sometimes all we need is someone to listen and a safe place to talk. Therapy can be effective by helping you begin to uncover your unique strengths in order to live the life and have the relationships you want."

""I've tried so very long to change, but I just can't do it on my own." These are the words that I hear most often from women and men who have made the difficult but courageous decision to ask for help. Often, asking for help is not possible due to fear of being judged. I usually help individuals learn that they have already judged themselves more critically than anyone else could. No life is free from difficulties and everyone makes mistakes; we learn from our mistakes."

"I specialize in treating adolescents, teenagers, and young males to help cope with stress, enhance interpersonal relationships, deal with bullying, and improving focus on important tasks, such as career emphasis and academics. I also specialize in providing life skills to ensure a successful future for young teenagers and adults along with helping to manage difficult life transitions, such as career changes and separation. Additionally, I have a bevy of experience with athletes who are looking for a mental edge in competitive sports and help them reach the next level in their athletic goals, such as earning scholarships."

"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."

"Many people are struggling to maintain balance amid the stress of today's hectic and demanding lifestyle and this creates a host of problems in relationships, career and parenting. Making the decision to seek guidance is the first step towards meeting your goals and limiting behavior that may be sabotaging your success. I feel it's important to create a rich understanding of past experiences and current choices so that patterns can be illuminated, identified and brought to Iight. I find that when one becomes aware of these patterns, they develop the power and confidence to move forward."
