Giovanna Franklin

If you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in patterns of trauma, or exhausted by PTSD, healing is within reach. I am a compassionate psychiatrist whose practice is informed by a social-work lens. This means I look at the big picture—how social, environmental, and biological factors impact your mental health. My goal is to guide you from a place of survival to thriving. I provide careful diagnostic assessments and tailored treatment plans that respect your preferences, helping you safely process the past and reclaim control over your future wellbeing.

I offer a highly empathetic, person-centered approach to psychiatric medicine. Rooted in social work ethics, I look beyond symptoms to honor your unique life context. Together, we utilize precise medication management and therapeutic tools to dismantle anxiety, heal trauma, and promote genuine emotional balance.

In our first session, we will focus on establishing safety and diagnostic clarity. We will map out your current challenges with anxiety or PTSD, review your medical history, and discuss your goals. You will leave with a clear, collaborative roadmap—including therapy and medication options—tailored to your comfort level.In our first session, we will focus on establishing safety and diagnostic clarity.
