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.

During my 9 years of experience, I have been providing psychotherapy to both adolescents and adults across a range of clinical settings. My professional background includes working in the community as a family therapist on an Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team, where I treated individuals with serious mental illnesses, as well as serving as a crisis counselor at multiple crisis centers. I also have experience working as a Substance Abuse Prevention and Intervention Specialist in New York City public schools and as a therapist in a substance abuse treatment clinic. My clinical work primarily focuses on helping clients manage and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, recognize and regulate anger and develop healthier emotional and behavioral coping strategies. I support clients in identifying triggers, increasing self awareness and building skills to help manage intense emotions in adaptive ways. I also work extensively with individuals experiencing major life transitions, helping them navigate the stressors associated with change, including uncertainty, instability and shifts in identity or roles. Through a collaborative and strengths based approach, I assist clients in building resilience, increasing emotional well being and fostering personal growth during challenging times. My goal is to empower clients to create meaningful and sustainable change in their lives.
