Getting to know Fran Costello

Hi there, I'm Fran! I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) and earned my master's degree in Counseling Psychology from National University. I began my career in 1997 and have worked in various behavioral healthcare settings, providing outpatient psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults. I am client-centered and utilize a variety of psychotherapy modalities tailored to each individual. My approach I strive to create a safe and comfortable environment for my clients. My goal is to equip every client with the tools they need to succeed and reach a point where they no longer need me. I am here as a trusted partner who will also challenge you and help you grow to your full potential. My focus I specialize in working with children-from toddlerhood (2-4 years old) and primary age-along with adolescents and adults. My communication style I am warm and welcoming, often described as ?bubbly,? energetic, and engaging. My office is comfortable and relaxing, featuring a children's playroom that my little clients love and always want to return to. My journey to mental healthcare Before becoming a therapist, I was a substance abuse counselor (paraprofessional) for 15 years. During that time, I earned my master's degree because I loved helping others and wanted to become a licensed therapist working with co-occurring disorders. I bring deep empathy and compassion to clients facing mental illness and addiction. My goals for you Together, based on my clinical assessment and your own goals, we set short-term objectives to guide your therapy. My first session with you The initial assessment involves gathering and reviewing all pertinent information for diagnosis and treatment planning. I then focus on building rapport to establish a strong therapeutic relationship, especially when working with young children.
