Franco Bejarano

Hello! I'm Franco Bejarano and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have over 10 years of involvement in private and community-based settings.

By developing together the skills of psychological flexibility, I aim to equip you with the skills to successfully endure future hardships on your own in an imperfect world where negative experiences and events are outside of our control. I have extensive experience is CBT, ACT, psychodynamic and mindfulness approaches working with diverse populations.

My goal as a psychotherapist is to create a safe space whereby building a relationship, unraveling issues, demystifying oneself, voicing hopes and dreams, and developing wisdom and insight, one can emerge from (and exist in) the forest that is life with a deeper understanding of how to navigate oneself and the world around us.

My goals for client involve bypassing the thoughts, emotions and stories that have collectively informed our negative behaviors that have consequentially created a concept of who we are. But I believe the concept of who we are is not so much about how life has shaped up to behave, but rather who we want to be despite adversity. By committing ourselves to living to our values and goals, despite how difficult they might be, we can create a more authentic sense of self that serves us purpose.
