DR. FRANCESCA LUIZZA, Licensed Clinical and Forensic Psychologist, PsyD

My clients describe me as:

Authentic, Compassionate, Unconditionally Loving, Supportive, Empathic, Real, Caring, Culturally Competent, Experienced, Fun, and Passionate.

Something to know about my approach is:

Our childhood experiences shape the way we view and experience ourselves, others, and the world. When we understand why we think, feel, and behave the way we do, we can begin to accept our past and enjoy our present.

Together, we will:

We will work together on identifying and changing self-defeating patterns, developing healthier ways to manage emotions and challenging situations, resolving past traumas and inner conflicts, and uncovering the underlying meanings of your behaviors.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I use the past strategically to connect the dots to today’s unhelpful patterns that are no longer serving you and causing distress in your life.
