Francia Telesford
Registered Social Worker, MSW, ACSW, CLE, PMH-C
Thanks for taking time to find care for yourself. You deserve to have wellness and care and to have a therapist who wants to see you thrive. Most of my clients come to me seeking help with stress, anxiety, and the various stages of motherhood. I love and have a wealth of experience working with individuals and families and building relationships. In my own journey to healing, I have had to learn to navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, loss, and postpartum stress and anxiety. I understand what it feels like to be overwhelmed and to want someone to see and care for you in a way that feels genuine. I have been working in the helping profession for 20 years in various settings from private practice, non-profit, hospital, educational and street outreach settings. My goal is to meet you where you are and to partner with you to decrease your suffering no matter where you are in your life stage. We all deserve wellness.

Hello and thank you for tuning into my profile! I am a warm, grounded, and experienced guide for couples and individuals on a healing journey. My specialty is Emotionally Focused Therapy for loving couples who are stuck in patterns of miscommunication and struggling with conflict resolution. Together, we uncover what your emotions are trying to communicate about what you need and I help you learn the skills to convey that to your partner in a way that they can hear and respond in an attuned way - strengthening your bond and growing your relationship intimacy and resiliency.

Maureen Backman
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA, MS
I’m a therapist because I believe in the healing strength of being with: Being with our feelings, our present moment experience, and each other. So often, we walk through life feeling alone and disconnected. Therapy is a place for you to unfold and expand into a life that feels more authentic and spacious, a place for you to experience connection and transformation.
Clients who work with me often describe me as warm, thoughtful, and creative. In addition to what you might think of when hear the words “talk therapy,” I also incorporate art, movement, and mindfulness into our sessions. I view my clients and myself as co-collaborators in the therapy process, and work with you to create a space that feels supportive and safe. I take a non-pathologizing approach, honoring the strategies that got you to this moment, and supporting you as you unfold into your authentic self.
