Therapists in Boise, ID

As a counselor, I wholeheartedly support transformational healing for all clients. I practice from a person-centered, trauma-informed viewpoint with the aim of empowering my clients to not only choose to change but to embrace their change. I walk alongside clients in their journey towards hope and healing, utilizing a strengths-based approach, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and key concepts of both Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Accepting clients interested in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy in July 2024. My goal is to help my clients not just survive but to thrive. I assist my clients in connecting to their deeper selves in order to discover their individual goals, talents, and desires. I'm most effective working with adults who are managing a life transition, addressing a relationship conflict, processing trauma or changing unwanted behavioral/thought patterns. Common symptomology that I treat are: depression, anxiety, PTSD, and mood disorders.

Populations I really enjoy working with are youth (ages 13+) and young adults. I feel this has definitely become my niche as this tends to be a transition period for youth with learning who they are as an individual, finding their voice, peer/school pressure, and social media. As well young adults (18-30) what I notice is this age group really struggles with boundary setting as they are transitioning from being under their parents to being an adult. I also enjoy helping them with identification of values and beliefs what are important to them, follow through and helping them learn to have healthy habits.

I love to work with people across the age spectrum from children to adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and/or parenting issues.

Life brings us many challenges & changes, which can be disruptive & can negatively impact our mood and decrease motivation. I bring 20 years of experience of working with individuals who are either experiencing pain or are feeling "stuck." My passion lies in helping individuals, families & couples who struggle with issues such depression, trauma, anxiety & interpersonal conflicts. This includes helping people with unexpected losses, excessive fears, intense emotions or lack of trust in relationships. Specifically, I enjoy working with couples who are experiencing miscommunication issues & are striving to strengthen their bond.

People say my style is different from other counselors. "He's not the kind of counselor who just sits back and says uh-huh every few minutes." I am not shy about giving feedback and responding to my clients. Counseling is a relationship and I strive to create an engaging and healing dialogue from the beginning. Whatever your issue is, if it's not getting better with what you have been doing so far, now is the time to seek assistance. Call me to discuss your concerns and we can decide if I am the right resource for you.

I work with those who feel disconnected from themselves and the world around them. Stress, trauma, or other difficulties can leave us feeling splintered and fragmented. We will welcome you back into your mind, body, and spirit.

Update 10/24/23: I currently have openings for new clients. Your partner complains that you are too disorganized and scattered. In fact, they complain they have to be your private secretary. It’s impossible to find anything. You missed another dentist appointment and now they won’t even let you make another. Your boss yelled at you for being late again. Or if you are a student, you forgot to turn in the homework assignment. Nobody seems to have much sympathy and now people seem annoyed at you. You don't know how much longer you can keep your life moving forward and negative thoughts toward yourself keep growing.

I enjoy working with pre-teens, teens and adults doing both individual and couples counseling. New clients can visit my website to view my availability and fill out a form requesting services.

***I am currently only accepting telehealth clients*** I am passionate about helping people see their true potential.

The path narrows as the sunlight disappears. A foot stumbles and balance is lost. In seconds, you are back up. The climb is exhilarating at times; at other times, it's uncertain where to turn next. Hello, I'm Francie. It's my honor to provide a safe place to sit with you while you share your struggles and work through life's different paths one step at a time. Life is like ascending a mountain. Our destination depends on what mountain we're climbing. What mountain are you climbing? What challenges are you facing today? My goal as a therapist is to support individuals on their journey.
