Ms. Francesca has been a breath of fresh air. I truly appreciate her and her wisdom. She challenges me to think differently and look at things in a different way. She takes her time and is very gentle but brutally honest about her observation regarding me.

I’ve only had two sessions with her so far but both times have been very informative and helped me a lot - she has given me so many different things to think about and read on in regards to the situation I am going through.

I have only met with Francesca a few times and she gets me and has a fresh and kind way of helping me understand how I can help myself be a better person. She is very human and not stiff the way some therapist have been in the past. It is more like a conversation with a really smart, non-judgmental friend who is not afraid to ask tough questions to prompt me to think deeper and believe more in myself.

Francesca is amazing, I feel a strong connection with her - she is empathetic, a wonderful active listener and ask thought Leo idling questions as well as provides guidance to help identify and work thru opportunities.

I had a wonderful experience with Francesca. I’m in disbelief of how much progress I made in such a short amount of time with her!! Her knowledge and her ability to genuinely care to help is truly special, and I would recommend her to anyone I know looking for help. She made me feel very comfortable from the beginning that I had no trouble opening up to her, she’s a great listener, patient and honest, all qualities of a great therapist. Im extremely grateful for her help and would 100% recommend!!

This review is long overdue. Sought out betterment for relationship trouble, specifically communication issues with my GF.

Thank you Francesca!

Francesca is a very intentional and helpful therapist. She makes her approach clear from the beginning and shares valuable techniques and resources. This is my first time trying therapy and I feel very lucky to be working with her.

Written on Jan 29, 2023 after therapy with Francesca for 3 months on issues concerning parenting issues, self esteem, anger management, and compassion fatigue

Francesca provides the perfect balance of theory and action: her knowledge helps to define the path and her warmth and enthusiasm supports during walking the path. This combination is highly effective, that's the shortest therapy period I've been to :)
Also I feel and we agreed on that if I need further support, she is here.
I had trust issues, but somehow with Francesca it was not a problem - she creates and supports the feeling of a safe space which is so helpful during therapy.
Whether we worked using teencounseling.com worksheets or discussed articles/books related to my problems, I felt that I'm provided with information and tips that I lacked for so long.
It was wonderful to trust Francesca's vast experience and learn that I'm not alone in my difficult situation, many people have been through something like this and they succeeded in making their life better and positive-oriented.
I want to say a huge thank you to Francesca for her diligent and thorough approach. After the therapy I feel supported, calm and well armed against life difficulties)

Written on Jan 23, 2023 after therapy with Francesca for 3 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, lgbt, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, anger management, and compassion fatigue

Francesca has helped me express and challenge ways of thinking that I didn't know I had. She is lively, honest, and true to her values. Would recommend if your therapy style is receiving a lot of feedback on your thoughts and opinions.

Written on Dec 05, 2022 after therapy with Francesca for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, lgbt, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, self esteem, and coaching

What I appreciate about Francesca is she makes sure to build a rapport with her client to establish that sense of security for me to open up to her without judgment and I think that is important especially when it comes to unearthing traumas that most people tend to shy away from discussing including myself.

Francesca is an excellent motivator and is so adept at helping you figure out what is holding you back in life. Be it trauma, negative thoughts or life adversities. I love that she gives me a space to talk but also gives me solid guidance and I leave a session feeling like my issues are slowly resolving. While I appreciate counselors who give me space to talk the whole time, I definitely prefer having someone like Francesca who actually engages in a subtle form of collaborative problem solving. Very happy to have her as my counsellor!
