Marriage and Family Therapist, CA LMFT#128698
It can feel impossible sometimes to let down your guard, feel into your heart, and discover your potential for change. I offer a creative healing space where you can explore the hard stuff and grow into the good stuff. My training and experience cover diverse healing practices, and my office in downtown Santa Monica includes an art studio space where you can explore and play. Whether you are arriving to therapy yourself, with a partner, with your family, or to join a group... with me you will find the necessary support to safely go inward. I love this work, and I will hold space for you to show up as you are.
I am currently accepting new clients for both in-person and telehealth services. Schedule a free consultation today.

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.
