Francesca Cristiano

You don’t have to struggle with mental health issues alone. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with experience in co-occurring care, I support adults navigating addiction, anxiety, depression, mood instability, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anger management, life changes, and emotional overwhelm. I look forward to being your partner in care, leading you closer to the happy, healthy life you deserve.

My goal is to help you develop healthy coping skills and deepen self-awareness through care that's tailored to you. I take a compassionate, non-judgmental, and collaborative approach designed to help you understand your emotional patterns, learn practical tools, and create meaningful, lasting change. When working together, you are empowered to achieve this change in an encouraging and supportive environment that uses evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), and psychotherapy.

I believe meaningful change begins with authentic therapeutic relationships, a belief that grew out of my own experience in therapy that taught me the value of a partner who empowers you to be your best self. By meeting patients where they are in my practice now, I partner with them in self-exploration and healing to support a purposeful and fulfilling life.

To stay centered and balanced in my time outside the office, I enjoy exercising, yoga, and spending time with family and friends.
