Getting to know Marie-Lisa Francois
Hello there, I'm Lisa.
Do you feel like the world's troubles are on your shoulders? Do the pressures of everyday life feel like a pressure cooker ready to explode? Is it hard to find peace of mind and time to just relax and do things for yourself? I help people managing multiple stressors in everyday life-whether it's work, school, family, or home life. Together, we can create a plan to get you back on track toward finding peace, tranquility, and harmony in a world full of chaos. We can begin the journey to work-life balance.
I use a person-centered approach that incorporates mindfulness, CBT, and trauma-informed practices to support the body, mind, and spirit. I can be your safeguard when dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, serious mental illness, and work stress. I understand that reaching out for help can be anxiety-provoking, but it takes strength to know when you need extra support. There is no judgment here. This will be a safe environment where you can share your experiences, concerns, and struggles without fear. I believe in healing, and this will be a place to learn and grow.
I hold a Master's in Social Work from Temple University, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to support you effectively. Let's embark on this journey together toward ultimate healing and leave all stigmas behind.
What should a new client know about working with you?
We will begin the first sessions getting to know each other, and building rapport. We will work on a plan of action to help process complex emotions, and learn coping skills to better manage stressors on be on the road to healing. I use evidenced based techniques in order to help you get through difficult times and experiences and learn to overcome them.

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.

I never met with the provider. I scheduled a 6pm session and she texted earlier that day asking if I could do an earlier appointment instead at 3pm or 4pm. I really couldn’t, but because it was important to me, I left work early to agree to a 4pm. My husband also called out of work to manage the kids as he works nights and wanted me to have a distraction free session. I logged on for my appointment at 4pm and the provider texted me around 4:05 to say she was running late and if she did not enter the session by 4:15 that she would just reschedule the session. She never showed and I never had a session with her. It is very discouraging, especially when it takes a lot to make the decision to prioritize yourself and reach out for therapy.
