Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Amber Francia, a therapist with over 6 years experience. I believe everyone has the capacity to heal and thrive, even after experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, or substance use challenges. I provide a supportive and collaborative space to help you reach lasting changes. My focus is on empowering you to develop your own tools and strategies for lasting well-being. Let's work together to make it happen.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I like to work with client's from an open-minded and realistic approach. I believe building trust and working as a team are most important. I am a Licenses Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I am certified in several evidence-based therapies, including Written Exposure Therapy for trauma, Problem Solving Treatment for brief therapy, Adolescent Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Matrix Model for substance use recovery. For children, I address behavioral issues and attachment disorders, and I work with families to improve communication and bonds.

What you can expect from our first session

In sessions, you'll gain practical skills to create lasting change, including solution-focused strategies, increased self-worth, and healing from past and present experiences. I empower you to develop these tools, enabling you to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and resilience.
