Hello. I am Andrea Francis, PhD., Counseling Psychologist with over twenty five years counseling experience. I counsel children, adolescents, parents, families, singles and couples.
My Master of Arts and Master in Education are from Columbia University, and my doctorate from Walden University. I also treat children with emotional trauma, and have extensive experience working in public schools.
I also work with parents, young adults, couples and individual seeking wellbeing.
