Sheria Y. Francis, MSW, LCSW, CAADC, C-SWHC is a licensed clinical social worker and the founder of Held II Heal, LLC. She specializes in working with adults navigating trauma, addiction recovery, burnout, grief, and major life transitions. Her approach is trauma-informed and evidence-based, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness-based strategies. Sheria’s work focuses on helping individuals make sense of difficult experiences, rebuild emotional stability, and develop a stronger, more grounded sense of self.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. The first session is designed to be a comfortable, low-pressure space where we begin getting to know each other. We will start by discussing what brought you to therapy and what you’ve been experiencing. You are welcome to share at your own pace—there is no expectation to talk about everything all at once.
Many people find it easier to talk than they expected because the space is steady, respectful, and collaborative. I also focus on helping you make sense of what you’re experiencing, especially when thoughts or emotions feel overwhelming or difficult to organize.
Take the first step to help. Call or Sheria Francis now - (443) 232-1674
