Hi! I'm Fran Bax, MS, LMHC, LPC, CASAC-Master. I'm a licensed therapist in New York State and the state of Nevada. I specialize in integrating motivational interviewing and cognitive-based therapy to help clients overcome challenges such as depression, anxiety, and addiction. I provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment, where clients explore their motivations for change and learn practical strategies to challenge negative thoughts and behaviors. My approach emphasizes empowerment, resilience, and long-term growth, tailored to each individual's unique needs and goals.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, you can expect a welcoming environment where you can openly discuss your behavioral health issues. I'll listen without judgment as you share your history, emotions, and concerns. We'll explore your goals, triggers, and past experiences to create a tailored treatment plan together. By the end, you'll feel heard, understood, and hopeful about your path towards healing and recovery.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength as a therapist lies in creating a compassionate and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their challenges. My expertise in integrating motivational interviewing and cognitive-based therapy, as well as other approaches, equip me to offer tailored support, empowering clients to navigate complex mental health issues like depression, anxiety, stress, and addiction. Using a holistic approach, coupled with an emphasis on individualized care and goal-oriented interventions, fosters clients' trust and hope, facilitating their journey toward lasting healing and growth.
