Fabiana Franco PHD, Clinical and Consulting Services in NYC

Dr. Fabiana Franco works with adults, adolescents, children, couples, and families in NY and online. My approach in therapy rests on two pillars.

My passion is helping clients to get past their pain and acquire the skills they need to lead fulfilling lives. The first is starting with a clinical evaluation so I can use the most effective evidence-based treatment. The other is creating a warm and supportive environment in which each client feels comfortable enough to do the difficult work of confronting and overcoming their issues

It is my p

rivilege to work with a diverse range of clients and I specialize in treating PTSD, C-PTSD, depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. Nothing gives me more satisfaction than seeing my clients get past their issues and make the most of their potential. Living and working in New York means that I am very conscious of the importance of culturally competent therapy in diverse multicultural cities. I speak fluent Italian, Spanish, French, and Portuguese and have lived in five countries on three continents. I strive to incorporate cultural sensitivity and awareness into all my work in order to do the best for every client. Get in touch today with me today to learn more abut how I can help you.

Healing isn’t always graceful.
Sometimes it looks like sleeping longer than you think you should.
It sounds like a shaky “no” that makes your stomach twist.
It means crying in your car before stepping into the next task.
It feels like everything’s getting harder before it gets better.

But that doesn’t mean you’re failing.
It means you’re feeling.
It means you’re finally tending to what you used to push past.

Healing isn’t linear. It’s deeply human.
Give yourself grace. Reach out today if you need help.
You’re not going backward. You’re just beginning to move differently.

It’s okay if you didn’t get everything done today.

It’s okay if your emotions feel too big sometimes.

It’s okay if you need space from people you love.

It’s okay if you don’t have the words to explain how you feel.

It’s okay if healing is taking longer than you expected.

It’s okay if all you did today was survive.

It's okay to reach out for help.

Are you feeling disconnected?

Life has a way of pulling us in countless directions, leaving us feeling lost or disconnected from who we truly are. But what if you could rediscover yourself? Therapy offers a space to slow down, reconnect with your core, and reawaken the passions and dreams that may have been buried under life's pressures. It's time to listen to your inner voice again and find the peace that’s waiting for you.

When everything feels like too much, what helps you come back to yourself?

In moments when the pace of life feels overwhelming, even the smallest practices can offer grounding—whether it’s something you do, feel, remember, or simply allow.

You don’t have to have the perfect answer. Just something that helps.

What helps you feel steady when things feel chaotic?

Feel free to reflect quietly—or share if it feels right.

Life is full of ups and downs. Things change—relationships shift, we fall in love, we experience joy, and sometimes, we get hurt. Even our daily routines—like sleep, diet, and relationships—can be affected.

It’s easy for mental health struggles to creep up on us without warning. Arguments with your partner, snapping at loved ones, or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and loneliness you can’t fully explain. If you’re noticing these signs, it’s okay. Your mind and body are signaling that it’s time to seek support. Therapy can help you regain balance and find peace again. Don’t wait—taking that first step is one of the most powerful acts of self-care you can make.

Some mountains are harder to climb... and that’s okay.

We all face challenges that others can’t see. The journey to healing isn’t always straightforward — but every small step matters.

If today feels heavy, pause. Breathe. Remind yourself that you’re doing the best you can. And that is more than enough.

Help is just one click away 💛

We’re not always taught to talk about how we feel.
Sometimes we’re told to “tough it out,” “move on,” or “keep it to ourselves.”
But here’s the truth:
Feeling better often starts with speaking up.

Whether it’s sadness, anxiety, confusion, or numbness—naming it is the first step to healing.
Therapy is a space where you can finally put the pieces into words—safely, without judgment.

You don’t have to go through it alone. Reach out for expert help today.

🧠 The Science of Therapy: Why It Actually Works:

Therapy isn't just "talking about your feelings." It's a scientifically grounded process that reshapes how your brain responds to stress, relationships, and emotions.

✔️ Studies show therapy can rewire neural pathways—helping you break patterns of anxiety, depression, trauma, and more.
✔️ Common therapy techniques are evidence-based and tailored to how your mind processes and heals.
✔️ The therapeutic relationship itself has healing power—it activates areas of the brain linked to safety, empathy, and self-regulation.

💬 Common Myths:
❌ “Therapy is only for people with serious problems.”
✅ Therapy is for anyone who wants to grow, heal, or understand themselves more deeply.

❌ “Talking won’t change anything.”
✅ Talking with the right support activates reflection, insight, and real behavioral change.

❌ “It’s just advice.”
✅ A good therapist won’t tell you what to do—they’ll help you explore what’s right for you.

Therapy is brain-based, person-centered, and transformation-oriented.

You’re not “broken.” You’re human—and your brain is built for healing.

Life isn’t meant to be a constant struggle. Stress, anxiety, and self-doubt don’t have to be your everyday reality. We all deserve a life where we feel at ease, connected, and fulfilled. Seeking support isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a step toward a better, healthier version of yourself.

Prioritizing your mental well-being means making space for joy, clarity, and peace. If something doesn’t feel right, you don’t have to accept it as “just the way things are.” Help is available, and a better quality of life is possible. Reach out today.

With evidence-based approaches and compassionate support, therapy helps you develop tools to navigate life’s difficulties and create meaningful change. Taking the first step can feel daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone.

Self-love isn’t selfish—it’s the foundation for a healthier, more fulfilling life. When you treat yourself with kindness and compassion, you build resilience, improve your relationships, and create space for personal growth.

But self-love doesn’t always come naturally. It takes practice to silence self-criticism and embrace your worth. Therapy can help you uncover the barriers holding you back and guide you toward a more compassionate relationship with yourself.

Remember, the way you treat yourself sets the tone for how others treat you. Start prioritizing your well-being today—you deserve it.
