Emily Francis

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families across school, community, and clinical settings. I earned my Master of Social Work from Widener University with an emphasis on trauma-informed clinical practice. On a personal level, I’m also a mom and military spouse, experiences that have given me an appreciation for the complexities of balancing relationships, family, career, transitions, and the many roles we carry.

I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can be honest, feel understood, and work through the things that have become difficult to manage on your own. My approach is supportive, collaborative, and tailored to each individual rather than one-size-fits-all. I take a trauma-informed and strengths-based approach, helping clients better understand the connection between their experiences, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.

During our first session, I’ll take time to understand you as a whole person, not just the concerns that brought you to therapy. We’ll explore your current challenges, relevant experiences, strengths, and what you hope to gain from treatment. I prioritize building a genuine therapeutic relationship and creating a space where you feel comfortable, respected, and understood.
