Francis David, LCSW is an expert therapist with the skills, know-how and training to help you overcome the vicious cycles that are keeping you from being your best self. Anxiety, anger and depression all hold something in common, they are alarm systems in our body telling us that something is wrong. But if you’ve tried to look for help for these issues in books, online, from podcasts or even professionals – the answers don’t seem to help for long. Sometimes people telling you “it’s okay” doesn’t much seem like anything other than a condemnation to accept a life of suffering. But that isn’t true.

Francis understands that anxiety, anger and depression aren’t difficult to treat because you lost some genetic lottery that’s rendered the situation hopeless. These issues are difficult to treat because it is the very tools you are using to compartmentalize and manage these feelings that are often at the root of what perpetuates them.

Francis offers behavioral therapy designed to help you identify and counter detrimental cognitive patterns will help you learn skills to reduce your suffering, and further – he has the expertise to help you stop these cycles at their roots. Francis’ approach is meant to help you find both relief from your pain and long-term transformation. 

Francis helps men, women and children both in-person and online in the South Land Park and Greenhaven-Pocket  neighborhoods of Sacramento, 10 minutes from midtown, West Sac and Elk Grove. Whether it shows up as irritability, overthinking, burnout, numbness, or self-doubt, Francis can help you shift from stuck to steady—with therapy that’s practical, respectful, and focused on real change.
