Dr. Glenn Francis
Marriage and Family Therapist, Psy.D., MFT
I know the agony of social anxiety. I am, if you like, an expert in it. Which means, I can help you find compassion for yourself, and the gradual allowance of who and how you are in social life, and the expansion of a certain ease and freedom in this respect that can seem unthinkable at the beginning of the journey.

Online in Bakersfield, CA California
Bakersfield sits at the southern end of California's San Joaquin Valley and is shaped by its oil industry and agricultural economy — two sectors with distinct occupational cultures that affect how residents approach mental health and help-seeking. The city has a large and long-established Hispanic community, and bilingual Spanish-English therapists serve a critical access role for families where language barriers limit engagement with mainstream mental health services. Kern Medical provides institutional mental health resources alongside a relatively sparse private practice community — Bakersfield has fewer therapists per capita than comparable California cities, making telehealth an important access route. The city's conservative political culture and strong evangelical community mean faith-integrated approaches to therapy are in consistent demand.
