Francinne Anez is a Certified Brain Health Coach and clinical supervisee who specializes in helping clients enhance their ability to effectively cope with life's stressors .

I have over 14 years of experience. I am passionate and Solution-Focused, about helping others, whether it is a struggle with daily life tasks, general life transitions, or in cases of distress or crisis. My goal is to help you feel more empowered to reach your personal goals and experience a healthier and happier life. We can work together on healing whether you are experiencing issues in managing emotions, relationship boundaries, self-esteem, mood instability, or other symptoms directly related to OCD, bi-polar disorder, trauma, depression, and anxiety. I consider myself to be an “eclectic” therapist.

Are you trying to create a more fulfilling life? Do you feel like you get in your own way sometimes, but you’re not sure why? Are you overwhelmed by thoughts and urges you can’t get out of your mind? Do you feel like the only way to stop them is to do specific things, over and over again? Would you like to understand why your child struggles to achieve his or her potential at school? Whether you’re entering therapy or starting psychological testing, your goals for working with a psychologist will be unique.

As a therapist, I believe that everyone is capable of change and healing, regardless of your circumstances.

Transitions can be difficult with new life challenges and tribulations.

If you are in search of finding someone that can listen and provide life changing support and treatment then this can be a start to a new beginning.

I am a psychologist in the Tysons Corner area and have been seeing clients for 34 years. My goal is to create a therapy experience that feels respectul, supportive, safe and yet challenging. As a therapist I work in a number of ways. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, because I believe strongly in the power of words. One goal is to identify self-destructive thought patterns and to develop new empowering patterns. I also use insight therapy to release the hold of old perceptions and feelings which are no longer helpful and to consciously choose the life you want now.

Now accepting new clients! Making the decision to seek help could feel overwhelming. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign of strength, a desire to feel and be healthy. I offer an inviting, safe environment to help individuals navigate through life's challenges.

I believe in helping those who come to my office with compassion and understanding in an atmosphere conducive towards healing, where there is no room for judgment or criticism. In psychotherapy, my clients find an opportunity to go within, tap into issues that are unresolved and explore endless possibilities to make necessary changes that add meaning to their lives. It is a journey of self-discovery for clients who are willing to take the necessary steps towards self-awareness, mood-regulation and self-actualization.

As a collaborative therapist, my focus is on meeting the client where they are and helping them identify goals in treatment that will allow them to achieve optimum functioning in their lives.

If you are experiencing intense anxiety, relationship issues, depression, and/or just feeling stuck, change is possible. I believe that the relationship between client and therapist opens pathways to healing and clients can discover the truth of their own inner strength and resources. I would like to help you on your journey to explore, learn, and encourage movement towards greater self-awareness, deeper peace, and achieve more meaning and joy from relationships. To achieve these goals, I believe that a customized approach in therapy is most effective in helping people make positive changes in their lives.
