New to Grow
Hi! My name is LInda Franco. I am a licensed clinical social worker based in New York State.I believe strongly that life is not about your problems, but how you solve them. I have been a bilingual social worker for 15 years, I've also mentored and taught social work students. I've worked with diverse cultures and communities, with generations of family to heal and make positive changes in their futures. I love helping people develop healthy connections. You can feel comfortable being alone, and, feel comfortable with others. My personal experience with ADD, women's health issues, caregiving issues, families dealing with cancer, parenting issues, being a suicide witness, has helped me use these skills to help and guide others.
At the first session, we''l get some background bio, relevant details, and, what brings you to therapy. Don't worry about telling your whole story, it always comes out as we begin working. I hope to create a safe,non-judgmental, trusting environment for you to express yourself. We'll hear your goals and expectations and how we can meet them together.
There is always hope. Everyone is capable of change. Everyone can have that victory with honest self-reflection and determination.
I provide individual therapy, collateral therapy, family therapy for clients affected with ADD, Depression, Trauma, Intimate conflict.

I help clients learn to improve old patterns to improve quality of life. I actively employ ACT so that people can feel better and do better.
