Hi! My name is Francesca and I am an LCSW in practice in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, currently accepting clients. I have extensive experience in working with adolescents and young adults in the transitional stages of their lives, specifically targeting issues around anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, and adapting to adulthood. I am extensively trained in CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing.

We offer trauma-focused strengths-based therapy to individuals, caregivers, and families. When working with children, families will be engaged in play therapy sessions to encourage bonding, communication, and growth. With adolescents and adults, using CBT techniques, we will focus on replacing negative thinking with positive self-talk and adapting positive coping mechanisms. Through Somatic Experiencing techniques, we can tap into physical and emotional symptoms associated with trauma -- locked into the body -- and guide you into identifying and utilizing the innate healing capacity in your body.

Our approach is one of compassion, providing a non-judgmental place to help you safely explore life's challenges and strengthen your connection to yourself; fostering lasting emotional well-being. We offer a wide range of specialties and interventions styles. Reach out and we will set you up with a therapist that best suites your needs and therapeutic style

I appreciate the time you are taking to choose the best person and process for your specific needs. Being a college student requires a lot of difficult choices, and I know finding a counselor can be hard as well. Here are some thoughts about how I work, but please contact me if you have other questions. My goal as a counselor is to shape our work around the needs, goals, and overall direction you want to take in your life. If you have very focused, concrete issues you want to address, we’ll use a solution-focused approach to create plans and strategies for focused change and growth. If you have more broad, complicated things to address, we talk about a deeper purpose and meaning for your life that can serve as a foundation for more significant changes. No matter what you would like to talk about in counseling, we will capitalize on your strengths as a whole person to create the change you seek.

I believe this stage of life is an exciting time full of growth, challenges, and new experiences. But it can also bring stress, uncertainty, and pressure to figure it all out. My goal is to provide a supportive, judgment-free space where students can feel heard, understood, and empowered to thrive. I take a collaborative, student-centered approach, helping you build practical skills to manage stress, improve your mental health, strengthen relationships, and stay aligned w/ your goals and values. Together, we’ll work on strategies that fit your lifestyle—so you can feel more confident, resilient, and ready to take on what’s next.

I’m a Clinical Psychologist (board certified in Group Psychology), and I work with college and graduate students who want to understand themselves better and feel more at ease in their lives and relationships. In therapy, I offer a space to slow down, reflect, and make sense of what’s happening—whether it’s stress, anxiety, relationships, identity, motivation, or big transitions. My approach is psychoanalytic and relational, which means we pay attention not just to symptoms, but to the deeper patterns and experiences that shape how you think and feel.

College can be exciting — and overwhelming. If you’re feeling stressed, anxious, or just not like yourself, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space to talk through challenges like anxiety, life transitions, and relationship struggles. Virtual sessions make it easy to fit therapy into your busy schedule.

Hello, my name is Michele. I am a licensed clinical social worker with experience supporting individuals, couples and families, through a variety of challenges including but not limited to: anxiety, depression, terminal illness, grief, anger, and relationship stress. I admire the strength we inherently have within us, and I would be honored to sit alongside you in your journey. I use a variety of therapy modalities, but I often use a person centered approach and Motivational Interviewing as I find these frequently yield fulfilling outcomes. There are many approaches and strategies to supporting clients and these are flexible based on your needs. Together, we will discuss what brought you into therapy. I want to understand the problems you're facing. Our time together is meant to offer a nurturing space to talk, process, and learn new skills to improve the quality of your life. You are capable of change. I am eager to support your well-being, so please do not hesitate to call.

I use a relational, psychodynamic approach to help people who want to explore the root causes of their anxiety or depression in order to better cope with challenging situations. Perhaps you’re feeling overwhelmed or isolated by school, a big life transition, conflict in a relationship, family or grief. At times like these, it can be helpful to have someone to listen and support you. Together we'll address your struggle in a non-judgmental and safe space. I may challenge you at times but in a supportive, compassionate manner. My goal as your therapist is to help you gain insight and healthy habits that encourage healing, reduce stress, build confidence, and improve relationships. If you’re seeking a supportive and collaborative approach to feeling less anxious or depressed and more confident and connected, I look forward to working with you.

My work is based on the belief that caring for our mental health is an essential part of our overall wellbeing. I collaborate with my clients to help them understand their strengths and gain insight into themselves, experiment with new ways of interacting with others, and learn new skills to work towards cultivating fulfilling lives. As part of this process I strive to create a warm, empathic environment, and I prioritize developing therapeutic relationships with clients based on authenticity and trust. I draw from client-centered therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based therapy techniques in my work. As a generalist, I am experienced in helping individuals with a broad range of concerns including anxiety/stress, mood difficulties, identity, career and school concerns, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. I have trained and worked in several college counseling centers over the years, including large state schools as well as smaller private schools. I enjoy working with both undergraduate and graduate students. If you are interested in the possibility of working together, please EMAIL me to inquire about a free phone consultation.

One of my favorite things a patient has said to me is - “Thank you for being part of my journey”. That’s what life is to me – a journey we are all on together. What I want for everyone is that they can overcome any barriers they may have so that they can become their whole selves and live life to its fullest. I work with many kinds of people from all walks of life on issues like neurodiversity, autism, anxiety, ADHD, family history, relationships, and couples’ concerns. I also have expertise working with college students, international students, young adults, and couples after working and training at the University of Rochester counseling center. I have done training specifically to provide therapy through an anti-racist lens and continue to reflect on my own whiteness. I use a mixed relational approach pulling from person centered therapy, existential therapy, DBT and more. I am committed to providing a safe, sex positive, non-judgmental space for trust and growth to happen. Are you looking for change? Are you ready to challenge unhelpful thought patterns and uncover your potential? Then give me a call or send an email and we can set up a consultation. Let’s start the conversation!

Working with a counselor can be anxiety provoking, so my focus is on helping you to feel at ease and create clear goals to make you feel better. I love to support clients in developing skills to manage emotions, build mindfulness in moving through pain, and find compassionate ways to heal. I have spent over 15 years facilitating individual and group services that center around grief, schema, dissociation, and complex trauma. I have been trained in solution focused therapy, ACT, DBT, and EMDR. My passion is helping others customize their healing journey and to take pleasure in every step on their path. It's rare that anyone wakes up overnight a different person. Rather it's through the beautiful process that we develop insight, wisdom, and happiness.
