Christina Franklin

I’m Christina and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Austin, TX. I specialize in working with individuals working in high stress jobs, struggling with work-life balance, and living with anxiety and/or neurodivergence. Additionally, with experience working in Hospice/ end of life care, I work with client navigating grief and loss. I specialize in supporting those facing their own terminal illness and/or anticipatory grief related to the terminal illness of a loved one . I am here to help you hold and move through the emotions that come with all stages of your grief process.

Through our work, I will support you in reconnecting with your own values, hobbies, and passions, and hold space for the rough days, it’s okay to cry about it, scream about, IT IS OKAY TO FEEL IT! I will also provide resources and tools for understanding what makes you unique, and working with how your mind works, while supporting you in building confidence and trust in yourself in the face of uncertainty and life transitions.

I believe that finding a therapist you really vibe with is one of the most important aspects of the therapy journey. I am happy to provide a free 15-minute phone consultation to explore if working together is the right vibe for you. Following that consultation call, the first session is about getting oriented together. I'll ask about what's bringing you in, what you've tried before, and what you're hoping to get out of our work. I also want to hear a bit about who you are beyond the problem that brought you here — context matters. By the end, we'll have a sense of whether we're a good fit and discuss future scheduling if we decide to move forward working together.
