My Expert Service
|
|
I provide therapy for emotional; mental health; intrapersonal and inter-personal issues by using innovative methods such as CBT, Solution Focused, and Goal Directed family systems models. Family therapy offers solutions anrd facilitates positive change in seemingly hopeless situation. People typically develop relational styles based on what they have learned from their families. Sometimes these ways of relating to others can be dysfunctional and trigger psychological symptoms and/or relationship problems. Family models can help change these dysfunctional patterns and help people develop healthier styles of relating to others. By speaking with me you can: learn easy ways to deal with common family, personal and relationship difficulties as well as develop solutions for healthier & happier living.

Experience & Qualifications
|
|
I have provided direct interventions with parents and children resolving numerous family issues such as difficulties with adolescents and young adults, defiance, behavioral problems, anger management, parenting, relationship problems, financial issues, doemstic violence, grief, etc. I have provided therapy for nearly 8+ years, to groups and individuals and have addressed all kinds of issues such as abuse, alcohol & drugs, behavioral disorders,depression, anxiety, grief, post traumatic stress, etc. I believe the best way to get through life is to confront the issue at hand, processing it appropriately and deal with it wisely via exploring options, and simultaneously learn to cope with difficult gridlock problems, which enables you to move forward and to enhance the quality of your life. I am currently working at an outpatient Drug & Alcohol/Mental Health dual diagnosis program; as an outpatient D&A/MH counselor providing counseling services to individuals 18-60 year olds. I also work at an impatient treatment facility as a head clinician and behavioral specialist consultant, providing intervention services to adolescent male offenders up to 18 years of age (who have behavioral problems), and their families. My work is devoted to empowering others in distress or in difficult situations. I do this by providing encouragement and support; engendering hope; confidence; increasing insight of the underlying causes of the symptom or problem; while also focusing on positive thinking and on the unique strengths of individuals and families in order to assist them to adopt a "can do attitude", that can promote change and growth to find a successful path forward in re-establishing yourself and leading a rewarding lifestyle.

Once again, I’d like to give Francine the highest rating – she was a real help in dissecting my personal issues and shedding some light on the ways to deal with them. Highly intelligent & a good listener, she was a sheer pleasure to communicate with, and I wish there were more advisers like her. Thank you, Francine, and I’ll talk to you again real soon….” :)
