Getting to know Kristen Francis

I am a clinical social worker specializing in Mindfulness, Trauma-Informed approaches, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Denver, a Bachelor's from the University of Missouri, and completed a Fellowship in Contextual Behavior Therapy at the University of Chicago. I work with folks struggling with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, trauma, family dynamics, relationships, and career transitions. I am happy to work with folks without insurance and with those experiencing financial hardship. My practice is non-diagnosing so I can meet you as a human and not a problem that needs to be solved. Sessions with me are non-judging, compassionate, and unconditionally accepting. I look forward to meeting you real soon!

What should a new client know about working with you?

My practice aspires to be safe for all humans. I welcome all bodies, all races, all genders, all education levels, all sexual orientations, all relationship statuses, all faiths, all incomes, all cultures. I believe that all humans are equal and that any ladders of oppression need to be disassembled.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Psychotherapy sessions with me incorporate talk-therapy, mindfulness, meditation, unconditional self acceptance, exploring discomforts, compassion, self trust, values identification and prioritization, short-term and long-term goal setting. It is also common to explore societal systems and norms and the impact they have on your day-to-day life.
