I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from the University of Illinois, Chicago and a trained EMDR therapist with over 25 years experience in social work and mental health treatment.

I’m Bedelcia Franco, LMFT I am a trauma-informed therapist dedicated to helping clients heal, grow, and thrive. My private practice specializes in supporting BIPOC communities through culturally responsive care. I provide therapy for those navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and perinatal mental health challenges, integrating approaches like CBT, DBT, CPT, and EMDR. Rooted in my identity as a first-generation Latina and daughter of immigrants, my work is guided by empathy, equity, and empowerment. My goal is to create a safe, affirming space where clients can explore their experiences, embrace their resilience, and build lives that feel more authentic and fulfilling. My approach is always flexible and guided by what resonates best with you. As a certified Perinatal Mental Health professional (PMH-C), I provide support for parents navigating the ups and downs of pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood.

I specialize in helping clients to truly get to know themselves and the thoughts in their head (whether conscious or subconscious) to break patterns, decrease people-pleasing, increase self-esteem, relieve stress and anxiety, address interpersonal issues, and increase their life satisfaction. Sometimes in life, we might feel stuck in a rut. My role is to help you work yourself out of that rut. I use cognitive behavioral therapy to modify your thoughts and in turn your behavior. I also use interpersonal therapy to increase effectiveness within your relationships. Solution focused therapy helps me, to help you, find the answers or resources that are already within you.

I have a License in Clinical Social Work and have a background working in both child welfare and community mental health. I've worked with countless families, parents, children, and adolescent. I see my client's as part of a system; recognizing that our environment influences our development in childhood and throughout adulthood. I believe that with insight and cognitive reframing, we can take control of our lives.

I'm an LCSW and been in private practice since 2019. Most of my experience is in community mental health, supporting symptom management of trauma, depression and anxiety.

Thanks for visiting my page! I specialize in working with adolescents and adults navigating PTSD, maternal mental health (pre- and postpartum), panic disorders, anger management, grief/bereavement, and relationships — especially during life's biggest transitions. Using evidence-based interventions, I work with individuals, couples, and families to help manage stress, improve relationships, adjust to major life changes, and reach self-improvement goals.

I am a proud father of five children ranging in ages 2-26 and a happy grandfather. I love what I do, strive to help couples save their marriages, and it gives me great joy to see my clients' lives improve!

Having been in therapy myself, I've experienced firsthand its positive impact, helping me overcome my anxiety and equipping me with practical tools I still use today. I understand that repeatedly answering 'How does that make you feel?' can be frustrating. Drawing from my personal experience both as a therapy client and practitioner in a treatment center setting, I bring energy into my sessions and build momentum to help clients get unstuck and face their Anxiety & OCD with confidence.

Hola! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families in a variety of settings. I’ve worked with individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, substance use, life transitions, and personality-related concerns.

More that fifteen years of teaching English and drama at a Los Angeles public high school taught me many things - primarily, it taught me how often people's barriers to achievement are not due to any lack of skill or ability, but rather from emotional barriers stemming from stress, adversity and trauma. So, I went back to graduate school to pursue a new career as a therapist so that I could help in a different way. My training and experience has focused on treating anxiety disorders, PTSD (including Complex-PTSD) and also couples - helping them to navigate challenges and triggers so that they can reset and reconnect.

Hi, I’m Erica Thurlow, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in mindfulness and evidence-based practices like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Eye-Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR). I specialize in working with teens and adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I have a passion for supporting neurodivergent individuals, honoring their unique wiring and building lives aligned with their values.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent nearly 20 years working as a grip/rigging grip in the film industry. That experience gave me a deep appreciation for creativity, high-pressure environments, and the importance of meaningful human connection. I earned my M.A. in Marriage & Family Therapy from Hope International University, where I also trained as an EMDRIA-approved EMDR therapist. Whether you're seeking emotional processing, relationship repair, or making peace with your past, we'll work together in cultivating acceptance, empowerment, and change.
