Carla Francis

I received my master's degree from the University of Southern California in Social Work with a concentration in Mental Health.

I began my career serving diverse communities across Los Angeles County, working in community mental health centers, at the Department of Mental Health, and in specialized treatment programs.

Through these roles, I gained extensive experience in trauma recovery, substance use treatment, crisis intervention, and supporting individuals facing life’s most complex challenges.

With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I specialize in providing individual therapy for adults (18+).

My work is client-centered, trauma-informed, collaborative, and culturally responsive. I work to provide a safe, healing, and comfortable space where vulnerability and transparency are honored, not judged.

Some of the issues I can help with include:

Depression

Anxiety

Stress

Trauma

Grief

Life Transitions

and more

In our first session together we will start with a brief introduction and then allow the space for you to share the challenges you have been facing. This will allow us to work together on an individualized plan just for you. Then we will discuss a plan for follow up sessions.
