Gillian (Gillie) Francis
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
I use therapy as a reflective tool to realign my patients with meaningful values, using an integrated approach and get them back to their daily lives.
Gillie is motivated to get her patients back into their lives. Gillie helps with self-esteem, self-harm, and women’s mental health. Gillie uses a collaborative, integrated approach, focusing on value alignment and incorporating acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and emotion-focused therapy. Gillie believes therapy is a reflective tool to help realign ourselves with the things that make life meaningful. Gillie enjoys watercolors, hiking with their dog, and spending time outside with their family.
