Kristen Francisco
Licensed Therapist, MSW, LICSW
About
I specialize in OCD because it's often misunderstood, requiring specific training and expertise to diagnose and treat. When you stop fighting your obsessions and anxiety, your symptoms will naturally decrease. The question isn't whether you can or can’t, but how you do it. I became a therapist because I have a knack for guiding people through difficult times. Asking for help can be difficult, and you may feel alone, but I’m here to help you. I too have fought my own mental health battles, not always with ease but with hope and determination. Let’s do the same, together.
