I work with adolescents, adults and couples to address concerns including trauma, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, self-harming behavior, relationship issues, parenting challenges and stage of life transitions. My therapeutic style is psychodynamic, supportive and relational.

I am an eclectic psychotherapist who offers a safe space grounded in empathy and understanding. I fully believe that you are the author of your story and you get to create the narrative to your life. I am trained in numerous modalities and interventions, but I use a personalized therapeutic style that best fits your needs.

I believe that human beings are, above all, adaptive. We develop powerful and unique ways to survive and succeed under conditions that are insensitive, unforgiving, and overwhelming. As a therapist, my approach builds upon the strength of this adaptive ability while remaining responsive to the anger, fear, and shame that can accompany it. I work with you to foster deeper self-compassion in the face of broader social circumstances that often encourage the opposite.

I believe the most powerful element in therapy is the relationship between the therapist and client; the connection must be supportive, non-judgmental and empathic. Like many therapists, my approach draws on concepts and techniques from many different modalities listed on the bottom of this page, but one needs to have the right fit. I believe much of the emotional pain people experience stems from a lack of compassion for themselves. We are often faced with challenging situations, difficult relationships, problems communicating and much more, in our day to day life. We all need someone we trust and WANT to talk to.

I enjoy working with people of all backgrounds, sexual and gender orientations and ethnicities.

I am a New York-based psychotherapist seeing individuals and couples. When working together, it is essential that I come to know and really understand what you’re struggling with and what you want for yourself. In this way, we can work from what you need and where you want to go. You'll have my attention and presence, my compassion and emotional sensitivity, my intelligence, warmth, and insightfulness as resources to draw on throughout the process.

Over the years, I have worked with individuals that have endured difficulties with alcohol and substance abuse. My experience includes working with neglected and abused children, personal and social relationship difficulties, HIV, Anger Management, and numerous other situations that are due to the complexities of circumstances in everyday life.

Have you or a loved one been struggling with addiction? Do you often isolate or avoid others because you don’t want them to know, and are left feeling helpless, and exhausted? Addiction is a challenge that is not easy to overcome, and is nearly impossible to deal with alone. By reading this, you are taking the first step in committing to a healthier, more fulfilling life. If you are impacted by someone else’s addiction, you are taking a step toward understanding the addictive behaviors, and exploring how to be supportive without enabling harmful behaviors.

I have been helping people prepare for psychedelic experiences and process them afterwards, since 2003, before all this became so popular. Psychedelic experiences are not some kind of a silver bullet which will unfailingly fix our mental health issues, they are in fact incredibly varied experiences, from the ecstatic to the terrifying, but they are always a door into parts of ourselves that we would be pretty unlikely to meet any other way. Rather than describing psychedelics as the next big thing in mental health, I think it's fairer to say that they are an extraordinary vehicle to help us in progressing on our soul's journey.

Young adults (ages 18-40) have special needs, including: transitioning to new life events; feeling insecure about friendships; recognizing unresolved trauma/loss; creating a sustainable work/life balance (often while struggling with pressures to succeed and/or procrastination); and comparing themselves to others while efforting to figure out what they want professionally/socially/romantically. Because of the limited services in New York that address the specific needs of this population, Ms. Francis' private practice focuses on them.

I am a Mental Health Counselor, who has a Masters Degree in Applied Behavioral Psychology and Advanced Certification in Mental Health Counseling. I offer my clients psychotherapy with an integrative approach, utilizing different theoretical frameworks to individualize a therapeutic plan for every person, group, and couple I work with. I primarily focus on CBT, Person-Centered, DBT, Relational, Psychodynamic, mindfulness, and meditation, but offer other techniques listed below. ​ My own philosophy is based on a holistic approach, so I do not always focus on diagnoses or pathology. However, I do recognize that sometimes it is needed.

Feeling sad, depressed, angry, impulsive? Do you have a lack of interest, or loss of motivation? Is fear and anxiety a driving force behind many decisions? Is drinking or recreational drug use increasing? Are you having conflicts at home or with your employer? Is life not turning out how you expected? Are you experiencing resentments towards most of life's events?

I work primarily with people of color, queer and trans folks coping with anxiety, depression, life transitions and relationship issues. I aim to help you tune into how you're truly feeling, while centering radical self-compassion. Healing and liberation come in many different forms and we will work collaboratively to understand your individual goals and needs. Ours will be an open space, free of judgment, to explore thoughts and feelings you may not otherwise have a place to address. One of the first steps toward healing is being seen and heard authentically and in our work together we will begin there.

You've done the hardest part, you are doing something for yourself. You came here hopefully to address an issue that is holding you back. It is not easy to discuss our problems, our flaws, or the things that hurt us. However, you intuitively know the issues and feelings needing to be discussed. My goal is to help you initiate the change you want for yourself. I treat children, adolescents, college age students, and neurodivergent clients. I also have experience working with adults in a collaborative effort to help them with their different stages of life. I hope whatever phase you’re in we can find hope and meaning together.

Therapy is your time, a comfortable, protected space set aside for you to slow down and focus on the things in your life that deserve your attention. My role as a therapist is to help clients identify goals and build positive change in their lives with compassion and understanding. Whether you want to improve the ways in which you manage the stress in your life or desire a deeper understanding of difficult emotions, I offer treatment for a variety of concerns relating to anxiety, depression, relationships, identity, life transitions, bicultural issues, race, sexuality, addictions, multicultural family issues, work-stress, learning disabilities and personality disorders.

As both a therapist and as a human in this world, I value continuous curiosity that leaves room for complexity and nuance to exist in my desire to more intimately understand your experience. I'm driven by the importance I find in creating a connection and relationship that is unique to us to use that as a secure base to explore, reevaluate, and disrupt old ways of relating and coping, together as partners in process. I believe strongly that a thoughtfully framed question can unlock feelings that have been hidden away, deepen complexity, shift perspectives, and inspire new possibilities through consideration of past and present.
