Working with Emily has been incredibly helpful for me. She has been there for me through one of the most difficult years of my life, and I am so grateful that I found her and started therapy when I did. I have grown so much and am more confident in my relationships and work.

More about Emily Franchi, LCPC
I am the owner and psychotherapist at Essential Therapy Chicago. I have years of experience helping clients grow and find emotional healing through individual psychotherapy in private practice settings. I earned my MA in Counseling from Northwestern University and my BS in Brain, Behavior, and Cognitive Sciences from the University of Michigan.
In my work, I aim to create an open, welcoming therapy environment where clients feel empowered to make positive changes in their personal lives and relationships. As your therapist, I will work with you to identify your strengths and to set goals of therapy that excite and motivate you. I base my practice on an integrative framework incorporating psychodynamic and internal family systems therapies, as well as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness skills. This integrative approach allows me to not only provide short-term symptom relief and mood stabilization, but also to foster long-term growth and self-explorations.
I offer individual psychotherapy for young adults and adults, primarily ages of 18-35. I work with college students, recent graduates, young professionals, and those who are having difficulty finding their professional and personal identities in early adulthood. I've had success helping clients who are struggling with a variety of issues, including trauma, sexual assault, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, parent-child relationship and family system issues, depression, anxiety, and adult ADD/ADHD.
I know that taking the first step to start therapy can be overwhelming. I work hard to help clients feel comfortable and understood from the first appointment through the end of treatment. I look forward to working with you.

I have been working with Emily for over 2 years, and she has been incredibly kind, patient, and encouraging throughout the entire process. She helped me work through some personal trauma and anxiety, and I am feeling so much more clear-headed and self-loving today. I would highly recommend Emily to anyone who is looking for a therapist!
More than 1 year agoSK
I was so anxious to start therapy and Emily made me feel comfortable almost right away. She provides good insight and helped me learn new skills to manage my anxiety and depression. She also helped me learn new ways to communicate and interact with my family. I've been working with Emily for about a year now and I always look forward to our visits.

Working with Emily has been very helpful. She is professional, warm, and makes me feel comfortable opening up in session. Her office is comfortable and in a great location coming from work.
More than 1 year agoSD
I have been working with Emily for 5 months now on my anxiety levels. Right off the bat, she was so easy to talk to and open with. She has helped me identify some root causes and triggers for my anxiety and has provided me with really helpful coping mechanisms that have worked great. Highly recommend her!
