Getting to know Carla Franco

I specialize in working with high-achieving women who appear successful on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or quietly exhausted beneath the surface. Many of my clients are driven, thoughtful, and highly capable, yet find themselves struggling with anxiety, burnout, resentment, or significant life transitions. Therapy at Kaleidoscope Solutions is collaborative, active, and deeply insight-oriented. Our work focuses on understanding long-standing patterns, strengthening emotional resilience, and creating sustainable change-not just short-term symptom relief. My clients are motivated, reflective, and committed to meaningful personal growth. I accept Aetna and also offer private-pay therapy for clients seeking a more personalized therapeutic experience. Sessions are conducted virtually in a confidential and supportive environment. If you're ready for deeper insight and lasting change, I'd welcome the opportunity to connect.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I take a holistic approach and strongly believe in the connection between our minds and bodies. I help clients by combining concrete strategies with deepening insight into behavioral patterns. I will create a safe and nurturing environment to facilitate your journey of self-discovery. We will stay focused on your goals and have a problem-solving mindset. Together, we will identify obstacles, discuss approaches and reframe mind work. At the end of each session, I hope you feel empowered to take the next step of necessary changes that will bring you success.

In-network insurances

Carla Franco, LMFT has 150+ in-network plans.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
