I believe meaningful progress comes from consistency, effort, and a genuine commitment to growth—from both the individuals and me I support. I approach each session with intention, ensuring my clients feel heard, respected, and actively supported as they work toward their goals.
My therapeutic style is warm, friendly, and approachable, helping clients feel at ease from the very beginning. I value building authentic relationships and creating a space where people can show up as their full selves without judgment. Alongside this, I embrace a bit of quirkiness in my personality, which often helps break down barriers and makes the therapeutic process feel more human, relatable, and engaging.
I use a blend of solution-focused, person-centered, and cognitive behavioral therapy approaches to guide my work. This means I meet clients where they are, focus on their strengths, and collaborate on practical, forward-moving strategies.
I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist, Certified Group Psychotherapist, and our Chief Clinical Psychologist at Well Psychology, Inc. I combined my expertise in health equity with a social and clinical vision to found Well Psychology, Inc., an innovative telehealth organization focusing on accessible, affordable and affirming behavioral health care. I received my PhD in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology and am a Certified Group Psychotherapist through the American Group Psychotherapy Association. My Doctoral training, both pre and post-graduate, focused on Health Psychology and Neuropsychology.
I have extensive postdoctoral education/training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, through the Oklahoma Society for Psychoanalytic Studies and the Greater Kansas City Psychoanalytic Institute. I am currently a candidate in psychoanalysis at the New School for Existential Psychoanalysis in San Francisco. My approach to therapy is thus basically psychodynamic/psychoanalytic. While most other approaches to therapy are focused on symptom relief, this approach is more depth-oriented and focused on promoting greater self-understanding and more lasting change. Therapy of this sort tends to be of longer duration and is more challenging in some ways, but when successful, the results are deeper and more permanent. I enjoy working with adults, adolescents, and older (school-aged) children. Although the bulk of my work is in individual therapy, I am also available for couples therapy. When feasible, I can provide psychological testing & diagnostic assessment.
As an experienced Psychotherapist, I'm passionate about helping people to become their best version of themselves by focusing on a new perspective of self awareness and understanding of yourself and others: "If you can't change the problem, change the way you view it ".
“Another great session, as usual! The system Franco helped me put in place has been very successful and has help keep me accountable for my daily actions and routines and also allows me to share my progress with my care team and loved ones. It is a system that is not overwhelming but keeps me on top of things and create healthy routines and stay sober. Thank you for all your wonderful work and care!”
