Francesca Newman

Hi, I’m Francesca. You might be reading this in the middle of practice or between naps and a chore, juggling a thousand things, trying to keep everyone else afloat—and somewhere along the way, you’ve lost sight of yourself. Whether you're a mom overwhelmed with responsibilities, a couple feeling more like roommates than partners, or parents struggling to connect with each other or your children, I’m here to help you breathe again, reconnect, and feel like you.

Before becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor, I spent years as a teacher and school counselor, walking alongside families and students during some of their most challenging moments. That experience deeply shaped my approach—grounded in empathy, collaboration, and a deep understanding of the unique pressures families face.

I earned my counseling degree from Sam Houston State University and bring not only clinical training but real-life perspective to my work

No two people are the same—and I believe therapy shouldn't be either. I take a personalized approach to counseling, tailoring our work to meet your specific needs, goals, and personality. Whether you're someone who needs structure and tools, or someone who benefits more from slowing down and reconnecting with your body and emotions, we’ll create a space that works for you.

I draw from evidence-based modalities, as well as somatic approaches that gently guide you back into your body, especially when words just aren’t enough. When we’re overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected, our nervous system often holds onto stress in ways we can’t always “think” our way out of—this is where body-based work can be a powerful part of the healing process.

You can expect our sessions to feel grounded, supportive, and collaborative. I’ll meet you where you are each time we meet—sometimes that means problem-solving, sometimes processing, sometimes just giving yourself permission to pause and feel.

My clients often tell me they feel seen, heard, and supported from our very first session. I’m not here to judge or tell you what to do—I’m here to help you untangle what’s weighing on you and move toward clarity, confidence, and connection.

My style is warm, honest, and practical. You’ll find I’m someone who truly listens but also gently challenges you when needed.

Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to have it all together—because I believe healing begins when we stop pretending we’re fine.

If you’re ready to feel more like yourself again, I’d be honored to walk with you on that journey.
