Therapeutic Spaces

Individual Psychotherapy

I am grateful to be able to work individually with clients,
offering a non-judgmental and respectful space for self-exploration and healing.
My intention is to support each client to be in the present moment as we explore feelings,
self/body experience and the history that has created the framework of our daily lives and choices.
The therapeutic space is co-created, emotionally and physically safe, and completely confidential.

Couples Therapy

I have great affinity for helping couples build bridges to open, clear communication and fuller connection.
We work together to create a different path in the dynamic of the relationship.
Whether the intention is to move through the current difficulty and go deeper with one another,
or to explore if there is a need to let go and move past the current relationship.
With a contract to try something new, as the old is no longer working,
we begin from this moment forward.

Family Counseling

Building bridges is very much needed in families when there is much love,
but on the opposite side of that same coin may be just as much frustration or silence,
that impedes clear and healthy communication.  I am honored to support families, siblings, parents and children, to come together and feel heard and understood and represented.

Group Therapy

Group work is also offered to allow clients to feel part of a greater whole while working on healing and growth.

The following groups are being offered virtually due to the Covid-19 virus. They are an opportunity to feel connected to others going through similar experiences of these novel times, within a more limited financial responsibility.  If you are interested, register with Francesca at contact@thrivepsychotherapyny.com If the days and times don’t work with your schedule, I may be able to accommodate with future groups. Space is limited!

The layers of the onion that we must attend to as parents and partners simultaneously is hard enough….enter pandemic.  And here we are…in the fishbowl!  Where every aspect of our experience is out for all to see, our missteps, vulnerabilities, frustrations, stained sweatpants, moodiness, pain and fears. This group offers support  to be as authentically ourselves as possible, while living so closely with every aspect of each other.  To feel healthy and supported in our relationships, active communication and self care are of the utmost importance in the best of times, and absolutely necessary today.  Join us in working on how to take care and be the best person, partner, parent we can be in the midst of the unknown.

Mother’s Group

Thursdays, 5:30-7pm
June 4th – July 2nd 2020

In these unsettling times, where our extended familial connections scatter and are divided, we need a space to be supported as we mother our children and create the next generation.  What an awesome task in the most supportive of environments!  Our culture and biology asks entirely too much of mothers; to be all knowing and successful, open and nurturing, naturally gorgeous and joyous, systems and communication specialists, nutritionists and chefs, tech experts. We as mothers are overwhelmed, transformed and deeply moved by this unparalleled transition that is constantly in flux.  As a result, mothering is the perfect training for life in a pandemic…yet we are asked to do more still!  This group is designed to offer a gentle space to step into our fullest experience of mothering, both dark and light, heartbreaking and heartening.  To be reminded to allow ourselves the kindness and intuitive listening we afford our children.
