“Francis has been there for me since my workplace accident. The rapport I’ve established with her has been so beneficial. I still have a lot to work on and still healing emotionally, physically and mentally but I’m extremely grateful that I have Francis there with me to give me the tools to guide me, teach me, help me grow, heal and learn that it’s ok, I’m safe.
She’s so authentic and direct in her work with me and each session she makes me open to seeing life in a more positive, slower pace. If I could choose more options to describe Francis, it would also be; solution oriented, warm, open minded, empowering, intelligent and an all around genuine human being.
She’s literally taught me to enjoy the moment now, stop and smell the flowers. Slow down enjoy each moment
10/10 recommend Francis. Thank you ”

Getting to know Francis Diaz-Bonales
I consider the last 15 years of clinical work a journey into guiding and helping improve the quality of life a person may be striving for. My goal is to embrace and support the goals an individual wants to address. I am hands-on and will guide and teach the use of helpful interventions and tools for you to take with you and practice immediately. I believe in building on a person's self-efficacy by empowering them to gain clarity, understand their strengths, and work toward overcoming various challenges they may be experiencing. My background and training are strongly influenced by Mindfulness-Based Treatment, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Feedback Informed Care, and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy.
My education includes a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from California State University, Fullerton. I have 15 years of experience practicing as a licensed provider. My work has focused on treating individuals across the lifespan, including trauma, anxiety and stress, depression, relationship problems, parenting, and life transitions.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I strive to ensure at every session we are working on target skills and strategies to empower you and increase opportunities for healthy coping. My goals is to support you in building on sustainable life skills that can help navigate and create increased meaning in life your living.

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.
