Our Sessions Are Focused On You
Sessions will provide you with the space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and goals. In feeling safe and comfortable, you'll be able to gain clarity and be understood and heard.
It's important to me to provide a non-judgemental space where you can be yourself. There isn't a "one size fits all" approach to Counseling. Our sessions will fit your specific needs and concerns.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My practice is based on the philosophy of putting you first.
I believe that change is possible when you allow yourself the space to do the work
I believe that we can stop feeling shame when we share our story with someone who is capable of listening with empathy and understanding.

More information on payments and coverage
Clients can file out-of-network claims through their insurance providers. Most policies reimburse a portion of the fee for out-of-network mental health services. The total cost after reimbursement typically matches your standard co-payment. I’ll provide you with all the necessary documentation to submit for reimbursement.
To find out what your insurance policy covers, call the telephone number on your insurance card listed for “Behavioral Health” and ask the following questions:
What is my individual/family deductible for out-of-network providers?
What percentage of the psychotherapy cost is covered for out-of-network providers?
Is there a cap on reimbursement for services?
Is a pre-authorization required?
Do you cover procedural/billing codes 90837, 90834 and 90791

Francesca is amazing! She doesn’t push when a topic is too traumatic for me to talk about. She has helped me realize that not everyone is going to be happy with me and that it’s okay for that to happen.

Francesca is the BEST!!! I started meeting with her when I was going through a rough time in my life, and she has helped me become the best version of myself! We’ve been meeting for a little over a year and I have had so much noticeable growth and maturity in that time. She is extremely understanding, easy to talk to, and always has the best resources and knowledge to help me with any situation or feelings I’m having. I’ve even done a few yoga sessions with her which has turned me into a total yoga-lover. She is very responsive and flexible, and always prepared for our sessions. I know that no matter what I’m going through I’ll be able to talk to her and have someone to listen and help me. Francesca has changed my life for the better and I highly highly recommend her!

Francesca is kind, understanding, and relatable. My daughter fell in love with her immediately! Most impotantly, she has improved the quality of our lives.

I have been doing therapy with Francesca for around 6 months and it has helped me immensely. She is very relatable and a pleasure to talk to. The work we have done in the past 6 months has opened my eyes to several life coping mechanisms. I would recommend her to anyone who may have dealt with life trauma or has issues dealing with such things as anxiety or depression. We still speak on a weekly basis and I have no plans of stopping anytime soon. 5/5 stars!

Francesca is such a kind and respectful clinician! Her bedside manor is by far the best I've experienced (and I've seen several counselors in the past),while her responses were thoughtful and thorough. I really found our past few sessions helpful and look forward to seeing her on a regular basis moving forward.

I see Francesca regularly. As someone who has been through the ringer with therapist, I cannot recommend her enough. Therapy isn't a quick fix for anything-it takes time and Francesca gives value to that time. Truly the best therapist I have had.

Francesca is a very kind and empathetic therapist that allows me space to think my own thoughts and come to my own conclusions. We have conversations but I don't feel guided or led by the hand.

This provider Francesca Wehr was more than I could have imagined. She wants to know all about me. Supporting and a great listener. She is open, honest and very compassionate.
In my 66 years of living, for the first time I feel like someone actually gets me! This was only the first visit... incredible.
You won't go wrong with selecting her as a therapist for you! Like any therapy, you have to be ready as well!
