Getting to know Francis Calero
Hello, My name is Francis Calero. I am a marriage and family therapist. Originally from Nicaragua, I am bilingual, I speak Spanish. I received my Master's from the University of San Francisco. I have been practicing since 2015 in different areas of mental health. My experience ranges from working with 0-5 children, adolescents, and adults. I come from a Cognitive-behavioral background with family systems work.
Throughout the years I have worked with clients who are experiencing: grief and loss, anxiety, recent changes/adjustments in life and depression. Relationship struggles whether personal or professional, Newcomer/immigration/POC experience, and family dynamics.
As a clinician, my style is a relaxed, humanistic approach. Emphasizing family history to identify current issues, struggles and/or patterns. A problem-solving frame with areas of exploration and introspection. I allow my client to lead and we work collaboratively on goals and areas of growth. Incorporating psycho-education, solution focused, attachment theory approach when needed.
*** Please Note: I am accepting short term clients (under 15 sessions) and have very specific availability during the week.***
What should a new client know about working with you?
After our initial session which is a summary of your historical background, we will move into the assessment period which will allow us to dive deeper on certain topics. At this time, we will identify goals for treatment, short and long-term.
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.
