Sheida Francis

Sheida Francis is a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 25 years of experience. She works with adults experiencing anxiety, life transitions, grief, relational issues, and chronic health conditions. She approaches therapy from a psychodynamic and relational perspective, integrating mindfulness, cognitive, and behavioral methods. She is a certified Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist. My practice focuses on building healing and developing strong personal relationships. I provide insight-oriented therapy for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, stuckness, and relationship difficulties. Insight into these concerns can help heal the pain that is interfering. I view therapy as an adventure into the world within. It's vital to understand the inner forces that fuel our feelings. A respectful understanding of these dynamics creates a fresh perspective and promotes mastery of our lives, helping us know our lives, our own person, preferences, and boundaries. I provide a safe, supportive environment in which you can explore areas of your life where you feel less than satisfied. I’ve long been drawn to the deeper layers of human experience—how we make meaning, where we get stuck, and how real connection can lead to healing. I believe that people evolve through an understanding of their internal world. Our experiences influence us in profound ways, both in our relationships and in our attitudes toward ourselves. My therapeutic approach provides support, insight, and clear goals to help address personal life challenges effectively, and it is highly personalized, tailored to each client. I believe therapy is a collaborative process. Together, we can explore the issues that are hindering you from living a fully engaged and meaningful life.
