Getting to know Francisca Ammerman

Do you find yourself falling into unhelpful patterns, without knowing why or how to change them? I am Francisca Ammerman, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I help clients gain clarity around what needs to shift and provide the support to try out new ways of being in the world. My approach Ensuring a safe, comfortable, and calming environment, I utilize different theoretical approaches to match my clients' needs. This can include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered, and Solution-Focused approaches. My focus The family unit is the strongest support system within an individual's life. I offer individual sessions to parents wanting to become more reflective and present in that role. I also help teens who are navigating life transitions and relationships, as well as individuals who simply want to create a life that feels more aligned with their values. My communication style I believe in allowing my clients to take the lead within their sessions. I do not pressure clients to discuss situations they are not ready to explore. I guide my clients in their choices as they process past experiences, current stresses, and family dynamics. I ensure that my clients feel safe during our time together as we work as a team in treatment. My journey to mental healthcare As a young child, I often wondered, "Why do people do what they do?" This question led me to discover my love and passion for therapy. I graduated with my bachelor's in Liberal Studies and my master's in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University. I earned my Pupil Personnel Services credential from Brandman University. I began my professional career in 2012 working within school districts as both a therapist and a school counselor, supporting children and adults who have experienced trauma. In 2021, I started my private practice, taking on clients seeking growth and healing.
