I have been with Ms Francine for over a year now and she has helped me so much. I always look forward to speaking with her. She understands me and also holds me accountable. I just love her

This is my first time in therapy and Francine is absolutely amazing. She lines up so well with me and my personality and needs.

She is amazing and I would recommend her to anyone. I’m bummed our time will be cut short but if I’m ever back in the area will be returning to her in a heartbeat.

Francine is a fantastic listener: sympathetic and analytical. She can understand where I'm coming from but she also gives me a healthy perspective that equips me to progress. I truly believe that I have someone on my team, helping me to succeed. I get through things that are challenging and traumatic with a sense of joy because of her grounded, intelligent, and insightful help. I don't think I would have lasted on teencounseling.com without her. She makes the service worth it for me and feel I have progressed quickly in my healing because of her.

Fantastic to talk to any worries I had about sessions were gone within 5min of the first phone call. Would highly recommend.

I struggled finding a therapist who understood what I was working towards and once I got teen counseling and matched with Francine I knew it was definitely worth it indeed. Francine has been such a turn in my my life helping me work through things and definitely opening my eyes to so much. I’m so blessed to work with someone who truly listens and gives me work to do so we can continue my journey toward a happier healthier lifestyle.

She’s very kind and responsive!

My daughter is VERY shy and has a hard time talking or keeping a conversation going (1 of the reasons I have her in therapy) and Francine has been doing great at getting her to talk and open up. She's also very good about scheduling with me around school and work and opening up slots just for her so she gets her live chats in. So far both my daughter and I are really enjoying Francines style and approach on this new journey!!

Francine is honestly the best therapist I’ve ever had hands-down she’s very attentive, communicative, and understands my needs and goals to where I want to be mentally. when we talk, I don’t feel like I’m talking to a therapist- I feel like I’m talking to a family friend that I’ve known for years.
