Francine Way

I believe therapy heals from the inside out, cultivates resilience and growth, builds a life of meaning and purpose, empowering one to fully engage with life as their authentic self. In a welcoming sex-positive, affirming, judgement-free environment, together in partnership with you, I will mindfully customize my approach to meet your unique needs and comfort level, to promote growth and healing that goes beyond relieving distress. My passion in therapy is the journey of transformation. I help clients identify and make value-driven choices, empowering them to achieve their goals and build the truly meaningful life they envision

My orientation is an Acceptance-Commitment Therapy, Compassion-focused approach. I am a trained EMDR practitioner, certified Cognitive-Behavioral Therapist, also formally trained in Acceptance Commitment & Dialectical-Behavioral Therapies. I specialize in treating trauma/complex trauma, depression, bipolar, anxiety, body dysmorphia & other mental health issues

Think of our first session as a structured curiosity—an intentional deep dive to explore what brings you to therapy. I'll ask some direct questions, not to rush you, but so I can quickly understand your history, what you’ve already tried, and what your hopes are for our work together. Staying focused and curious allows us to maximize our time, identify what matters most, and clarify what your therapeutic path could look like. I look forward to meeting you and seeing if we're a great match!
