Francelise Kacy-Cornwall

As a licensed clinical therapist, I provide a safe, confidential, and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel heard, supported, and respected. With over 10 years of experience, including clinical work in both the U.S. and France. I bring a culturally informed and compassionate approach to therapy. I use evidence-based interventions tailored to each client’s unique needs, while emphasizing collaboration and trust in the therapeutic relationship. My role is to help clients gain insight, strengthen coping skills, and navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and resilience, always working at a pace that feels comfortable and meaningful to them.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. I integrate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based techniques, while remaining flexible and responsive to each client’s goals. I believe in empowering clients by helping them build insight, develop effective coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change. Above all, I value the therapeutic relationship and work alongside my clients to support their growth at a pace that feels right for them.

I support those navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress management challenges, including panic disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and sleep disorders. I work with individuals experiencing grief and bereavement, end of life issues, infertility, chronic conditions such as diabetes, and other health-related disabilities that impact emotional well-being. My practice also supports clients living with bipolar disorder (also known as manic depressive illness), attention deficit disorder (ADD/ADHD), eating disorders, alcohol and substance abuse concerns, anger management and impulse control difficulties, and complex family or relationship issues.

I provide affirming care around identity development, cultural and ethnic issues, women’s issues, men’s issues, maternal mental health including prepartum and postpartum transitions, and LGBTQ+ concerns, including support for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender individuals. Whether you are navigating major life transitions, managing chronic stress, or working through long-standing patterns, therapy can be a space to build insight, strengthen coping skills, and move toward greater stability and self-understanding.

In the first session, clients can expect a warm, welcoming, and confidential space where they can begin to feel comfortable and heard. We will take time to explore what brings you to therapy, discuss your current concerns, and review any relevant background to better understand your experiences. I will also explain the therapy process, including confidentiality and expectations, and answer any questions you may have. This session is collaborative and paced according to your comfort level, with a focus on beginning to identify your goals and how we can work together to support your growth.
