About
Tyra Francis
Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and collaborative environment where children, adolescents, young adults, and families feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful change.
I enjoy working with individuals experiencing anxiety, OCD, ADHD, depression, trauma, school-related challenges, behavioral concerns, and life transitions. My approach is rooted in evidence-based care, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), exposure-based interventions, behavioral activation, mindfulness, and other practical strategies tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals.
I believe therapy should be both supportive and goal-oriented. Together, we’ll build practical coping skills, strengthen confidence, improve emotional well-being, and work toward lasting change at a pace that feels manageable. My goal is to help clients not only feel better but also develop the tools they need to navigate future challenges with resilience and confidence.
