Frances Holguin-Westfall

I work with neurodivergent individuals in Tucson, including those with autism, ADHD, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and social challenges. My ideal clients are children (8-17) and adults navigating burnout, overwhelm, social expectations, or life transitions who want support that actually fits how their brain works. I help you build practical coping tools, increase self-understanding, and reduce stress in a way that feels sustainable. Together, we create strategies that honor your strengths, improve daily functioning, and support meaningful progress without masking who you are.

I specialize in neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed therapy for autism, ADHD, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD in Tucson. My approach is strengths-based and tailored, helping you reduce overwhelm, improve emotional regulation, and build skills that align with your unique needs and goals.

Your first session is all about getting to know you. We'll spend time talking about what brings you to therapy, what's been feeling challenging, and what you hope life might look like if therapy is successful. I'll ask questions about your background, current concerns, strengths, and the supports you already have in place so I can better understand your unique experiences.

This is also an opportunity for you to get to know me and ask any questions you may have about the therapy process. There is no expectation to share everything during our first meeting—we'll move at a pace that feels comfortable and respectful of your needs.

Together, we'll begin identifying goals that are meaningful to you and discuss what approaches may be the best fit. Whether you're looking to better understand yourself, manage anxiety or overwhelm, improve relationships, process trauma, or build practical coping skills, we'll create a plan that aligns with your strengths and supports the way your brain works.

Most importantly, my goal is for you to leave our first session feeling heard, understood, and hopeful that you have a partner in your journey toward meaningful and lasting change.
