I'm Makenna Francis, a licensed psychiatry provider dedicated to helping individuals optimize their mental health and cognitive performance. While I am licensed to prescribe medications, my passion lies in empowering clients to enhance their brain chemistry naturally. Human brains are already equipped with an incredible array of resources and the potential to form new connections that help with lasting improvements. My goal is to minimize or discontinue medications whenever possible through holistic, evidence-based strategies. If long-term medication management is necessary, I will support you in transitioning to a provider better suited for that focus, as my practice emphasizes natural brain enhancement and sustainable mental wellness

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

As with most initial psychiatry appointments, we will spend time discussing the problematic symptoms that prompted the visit as well as a medical, psychiatric, and medication history. We will establish a clear treatment path including goals and tools. The first visit is one hour and follow-up visits are 20-30 mins. I look to avoid long-term medication options whenever possible, but I also understand and respect psychiatric medications when properly prescribed, can be very helpful and sometimes necessary for someone's life.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I used to struggle significantly with ADHD symptoms myself, however after researching and implementing multiple techniques, I have improved my symptoms to the point where I no longer meet the qualification for a diagnosis. I feel that attention is our highest form of currency and learning techniques for improved concentration benefits all aspects of life. Understanding the unique challenges of individuals with attention deficit and my ability to navigate to clearer waters is my greatest strength as a provider.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I work best with clients who are motivated to take an active role in their mental health and personal growth. My ideal clients are those seeking to optimize their focus, memory, and overall cognitive performance, while minimizing or eliminating reliance on medications. Whether you’re navigating challenges like ADHD, anxiety, or cognitive decline, or you simply want to enhance your brain’s natural potential, I provide a supportive, evidence-based approach tailored to your unique goals and lifestyle.
