Getting to know Nerissa Pratt Franklin

COUPLES-Please note that most insurances will not cover the cost of couples session unless the reason for counseling is related to the a mental health diagnosis for the insured partner so the sessions will be billed as self pay. I have over 20 years of experience helping adults and couples navigate life's challenges in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to make meaningful changes that align with your values and goals. As a Certified Sex Therapist and CBT-certified therapist, I use an integrative approach to treatment, tailoring therapy to meet your unique needs rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model. While Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) serves as one foundation of my work, I also incorporate evidence-based techniques from other therapeutic approaches to provide individualized care. I have experience working with clients facing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, intimacy and sexual concerns, LGBTQIA+ issues, military-related experiences, and major life transitions. Whether you're navigating communication difficulties, rebuilding trust, managing stress, exploring your identity, or working toward greater emotional and relational wellness, I am committed to helping you develop practical skills and lasting insight. I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, authenticity, and compassion. Together, we will identify your strengths, explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop strategies to help you move forward with confidence. My approach is warm, direct, and solution-focused while honoring your pace and individual experiences. I am passionate about helping people build healthier relationships, improve emotional well-being, strengthen resilience, and create fulfilling lives that reflect who they truly are.
