Hey there! I'm Kristina Francia, your go-to licensed clinical pro at Green Root Therapy. Back in 2021, I set out on a mission: to craft a sanctuary where clients aren't just names on a list, but unique souls with stories to share. My mojo? Zeroing in on women's issues, helping them pump up their self-worth, rock their confidence, and banish burnout blues. I'm all about teamwork and fusion, arming my clients to slam-dunk their goals.

I have found the heart of therapeutic work lies in meeting clients where they are and supporting individuals and couples as they identify what they already know to be true. I view every client through a strengths-based, trauma informed, and holistic lens. I know how trauma can hold us back from meeting life goals and want to work with you through this process.

I help people of all ages who are dealing with stress, a significant loss, obstacles to achieving important goals, a mental health concern or difficulties in their relationships with others. Do you find yourself feeling anxious, frustrated, sad, or overwhelmed much of the time? We can work together to help you with that. Therapy provides a safe, designated space to work on feeling better, more satisfied, and "less stuck." I offer a caring and non-judgmental approach which appreciates that each person is unique, as is their life path and goals for treatment.

My approach to therapy is that of a guide, helping people discover their own inner strength so they can make positive changes. Clients say that my laid back demeanor and calming presence allow a safe, relaxing place to talk openly and work through concerns together. While both direct and supportive, I tailor my approach based on the individual needs of each client. Whether child, teen or adult, I feel it is a privilege to help clients find healing and happiness.

Are you having a hard time connecting with your child or watching them struggle? The challenges youth have to navigate today are unique and complicated. Many of my clients are between the ages of 6-18, or parents of kids this age. Many suffer from anxiety, depression, family divorce, thoughts of self harm, oppositional defiant disorder, social/educational concerns at school, etc. Typically I meet with the child and then bring in the parent for the end of session to review and talk action plans/next steps. By working collaboratively with youth and their parents, we can work together to repair relationships and develop strong bonds.

ways of communicating with and relating to each other.

You knew that becoming a mother was going to be challenging. After all, sleep deprivation, diapers, and midnight feedings are bound to take a toll on anyone. But...you didn't quite expect to feel so 'out of sorts', emotionally. You didn't know that pregnancy and motherhood could come with constant worrying (what if I drop the baby when I'm going down the stairs? What if she gets sick? What if I'm just not cut out for this?), periods of feeling super low/depressed, and feeling totally overwhelmed by the mental load of it all. You wish things felt a little easier, and that you were confident in your ability to manage this new season.

My therapeutic approach is compassionate, validating, and empathic. I believe that everyone wants to feel heard, understood, valued, and validated and I work with you to gain an understanding of who you are and what you want. I believe therapy is a very personal journey and I strive to ensure every client feels incredible support. I believe that therapy is a healing process. We find the parts of ourselves that need healing to lead us to a better quality of life. I work with all races, sexual orientations, and genders. A favorite quote that I relate to therapy is, "Be messy and complicated and afraid and show up anyway."
