I have extensive experience with anxiety, OCD, autism spectrum disorder, social skills deficits, ADHD, mood disorders,behavioral issues and more.
A course of treatment must feel absolutely right for the client to experience success. I feature a collaborative model in order to obtain optimal results.

During the course of my career I have had the opportunity to study and to put into practice many different therapeutic techniques.

Mikaela Francis
Counselor, LMHC
Forest Hills, NY 11375
Many people come to therapy after years of caring for others while quietly neglecting their own emotional needs. If anxiety, depression, PTSD, or chronic stress have left you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode, you don't have to stay there. Using a person-centered approach combined with psychodynamic therapy and DBT skills, we'll focus on emotional regulation, self-awareness, and healing that actually accounts for how much you've been carrying. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to start that conversation.

The path to healing is not always easy, but you don’t need to do it alone. I am here to be your guide, your support, your resource, and your co-conspirator. As a QTBIPOC, 1.5-generation Japanese American immigrant I am familiar with the stresses, struggles and challenges of migration, acculturation, and racialization and the labor of masking and performing identity to survive.

By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

You don’t have to be in crisis to start therapy. A lot of my clients look “fine” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or just mentally drained and need a space to unpack it all. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and big life changes. I also support folks impacted by the justice system and families with young kids. My style is real, supportive, and no-judgment—less clinical, more human. We’ll figure things out together—gaining clarity, building coping skills, and creating meaningful change that is realistic for you. Click the link to my website to book with me!
