About me
Hi, I’m Francesca Dicochea, a compassionate and collaborative Associate Therapist with over six years of experience supporting teens, adolescents, and families through life transitions, trauma, and emotional challenges. My approach is warm, person-centered, and grounded in evidence-based practices, with a deep respect for each client’s unique story and identity.
I have focused my work towards supporting youth and families navigating complex systems such as special education, healthcare, and community mental health. I have extensive experience supporting students with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), neurodivergent individuals, and those managing anxiety, depression, and relational challenges.
I have provided therapy in a variety of settings—including public schools, outpatient clinics, residential facilities, and community-based programs—and I bring this wide lens into my current private practice work. Drawing from training in trauma-informed care, play therapy, somatic techniques, and systemic family work, I aim to adapt treatment to reflect each client’s needs and experiences. Whether I'm working with a teen learning to advocate for themselves at school or a parent seeking to strengthen family dynamics my goal is always to create a supportive space that encourages healing, growth, and emotional resilience.
I’m here to support you as you build deeper connections with yourself and others.
