Getting to know Adriana Franco

Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or dealing with addiction, life transitions, or repetitive challenges? You're not alone. I'm here to create a supporting, understanding and empowering space for you. As a therapist, I help adults struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, and life changes. Our collaboration will entwine the exploration of your present challenges, enhancement of your strengths, and the practical steps that align with your aims and values. My approach is symbiotic, warm, and adaptable to your specific needs. I introduce elements of mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and solution-centered techniques to cultivate insights, enhance coping mechanisms, and effect lasting change. Together, we'll create a supportive and accountable environment to work towards your goals at a pace that's comfortable for you. My journey to becoming a therapist was non-traditional. I switched from a 20-year career in Information Technology to act upon my passion for aiding others. My volunteer experience at a children's hospital as a medical interpreter showed me the profound impact of empathy, connection and being genuinely listened to. So inspired, I embarked upon counseling studies at UC Berkeley, eventually earning a Master of Social Work degree from UIC. Since then, I have offered services in diverse settings, treating each individual respectfully and with cultural sensitivity. As a bilingual therapist in English and Spanish, I welcome all clients, irrespective of their background. Besides therapy, my interests include hiking, travel, yoga, meditation and various art forms. They help maintain my connection to mindfulness, growth and self-discovery, and channel these influences into my client endeavors. Therapy, I believe, can foster greater self-awareness, resilience and meaningful change. If you're ready for the next step, I'm here, ready to guide you on your journey towards better well-being.
