Francine Rubinstein

My communication style

I practice active listening and create an environment where you can feel comfortable discussing and exploring difficult issues. Sometimes this will take the form of quiet, sometimes we may just breathe together. There may also be periods of more direct communication.

My journey to mental healthcare

Through working in various settings, I was drawn to working with survivors of trauma. I continue to be inspired by the importance of healthy connection and the internal strength inherent in us all.

My goals for you

People are often uncertain about what they want their goals to be for treatment. They just know they want to feel better. We will begin by identifying one or two specific goals that meet your needs and gradually add to them as therapy progresses.

Our first session

Our first several sessions together are used to get to know each other. I take a detailed history about your life, education, family, issues you want to address, and goals for treatment.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
• Jewish
