Hello, my name is Fran Mackin. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices psychotherapy with warmth and curiosity in order to help clients to find meaning and experience growth in their lives.
My approach
I integrate a diverse range of proven therapy techniques to best meet my client's needs. Evidence-based practices with which I have experience include cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness-based therapy.
My focus
My areas of specialty include anxiety, depression, trauma, and body acceptance/body neutrality issues. I am also a culturally competent therapist and have specific experience working with LGBTQIA+ individuals as well as cancer survivors.
My communication style
My aim is to create a warm, therapeutic relationship grounded in collaboration and empowerment to help clients challenge negative thoughts, uncover their true selves, and feel good about themselves. I also believe that humor is a helpful part of the therapeutic process!
My journey to mental healthcare
Being a person is not easy and we are faced with challenges every day! What drives me to work as a therapist is to validate human struggle and help people develop skills so that they can learn how to accept and thrive in uncertainty.
My goals for you
As your therapist, I am here to help you define and make progress toward meaningful goals.
My first session with you
Our first session will include an intake which will look a bit different from a typical session. During the intake, I will ask direct questions about your past experiences that led you to where you are today. It is also an opportunity to learn more about each other and the therapeutic process.
