Emily Franko, LICSW

Ask yourself, “Am I the Best Me?” What is the answer? Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself?

Perhaps you are not sure what you are feeling or why you are feeling a certain way. Not to worry... Together, we will identify what's not working for you and get you back to balance or take the journey towards being the "Best You." Whether you're dealing with overwhelming emotions, lack of emotions, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques and together we will identify individualized, effective coping strategies to meet the "Best You!"

I utilize evidence-based therapies, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy & Grief and Loss.

My biggest strength as a clinician is to form a meaningful connection with clients early on, with a strong focus on strengths and support. I tend to ask a lot of questions to better understand your situation and how it is unique to you. It is important to understand the root cause of whatever you bring to therapy and begin to build skills and protective factors to allow you to be the “Best YOU!”
