LISW, 27 years of experience
Taking the first step toward healing can feel overwhelming. You've come so far just by looking for support, and I want to meet you with warmth and understanding right where you are. My name is Jennifer Franck, and for over 25 years, I've had the privilege of helping people navigate life's toughest challenges. My experience as a social worker has taught me that we all have an inner "toolbox" of coping skills. Together, we'll explore yours, adding new tools, fine-tuning the ones that work, and letting go of what no longer serves you. I specialize in working with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and self-confidence issues. My background also includes supporting those facing life-limiting illnesses, navigating aging and disabilities, and managing caregiving roles. In our work, I promise to create a space where you can share your story without judgment. My goal is to listen deeply and provide you with support as you move toward your goals. I use several evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and Motivational Interviewing, to help you gain insight into the thoughts and behaviors that might be holding you back. I commend you for taking this courageous step toward healing and growth. I’m here to be a partner in your journey, and I look forward to walking alongside you.
Our first session is all about you. It's an opportunity for me to get to know you, understand what brought you here, and hear about what you hope to achieve. While I will ask some questions to get a clear picture of your life, my main goal is to listen and create a space where you feel comfortable and understood.
My biggest strength as a therapist is my ability to help you feel seen, validated, and no longer alone in your struggles. I’m here to walk with you through difficult times because I truly believe that no one should have to face life's challenges by themselves.
I specialize in helping adults ages 18 and up who are dealing with depression, anxiety, and stress. Together, we can work to shift your mindset and build skills that support your goals.
