Getting to know Westly Francois
You’re holding it all together but it doesn’t feel that way inside. Your mind doesn’t shut off, even when things are quiet. You keep pushing through, but it’s starting to catch up with you. You’re a professional balancing career, relationships, and expectations. You don’t fall apart, you push through, but it’s costing you. The stress follows you home. Sitting in your car trying to decompress. Lying in bed replaying the day while your mind won’t slow down. It’s showing up in your body, your mood, and your relationships. You’re the one people rely on, but you rarely have space to exhale. Something still feels unresolved.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I use EMDR to help you work through what’s been weighing on you and the patterns that keep showing up. We start with real moments, sitting in your car trying to come down from the day or lying in bed while your mind won’t slow down and trace them back to what’s underneath, so they stop driving your reactions and you feel more in control.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
If you’ve been holding everything together but feel like you’re running on empty, you don’t have to keep pushing through like this. Book your consultation today. That’s the first step toward real, lasting change.

He works with trauma and stress through EMDR, with particular attention to the experiences of Black men, who often carry unique pressures with little space to exhale. His work helps clients move from just pushing through to actually processing what's underneath. If you need space to finally breathe, Wes is who you want in your corner.

Wes specializes in working with Black men navigating trauma and stress, and brings EMDR to that work in a way that goes beyond just talking about it.
There's a particular kind of exhaustion that comes from carrying everything and not having a space where you can set it down without explanation or judgment. That's what he offers. A space where you don't have to translate your experience or justify why it's hard.
If you've been on the fence about therapy - or tried it before and it didn't quite fit - Wes is worth reaching out to!
