EMDR Therapists in Davenport, IA

Through counseling children and adolescents, I help clients coping with trauma to become emotionally expressive. Clients and families build confidence and self-esteem though a strengths play based approach. Clients will find empathy and compassion during sessions, but may also be challenged.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, a trauma-informed therapist, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCPT), an EMDR-trained clinician, and an Internal Family Systems (IFS) Informed Therapist. I utilize Internal Family Systems (IFS) integrated with EMDR to help you process trauma, understand your internal system, and restore balance and resilience.

Hello, and welcome! My name is Jen Francke, and I have had the privilege of practicing as a licensed independent mental health practitioner and licensed alcohol and drug counselor for over 11 years. My journey in the field has been deeply influenced by my belief that everyone, at some point in their life, faces challenges that can feel overwhelming. While you have undoubtedly navigated through many difficulties in the past, there is absolutely no shame in seeking extra support when you need it. That’s where I come in—to walk alongside you as you work toward healing, balance, and a renewed sense of well-being. I offer a holistic and integrative approach to therapy, blending trauma-informed, client-centered methods with proven therapeutic techniques. I am also certified as a Clinical Trauma Professional and trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, which I have found to be incredibly effective for clients dealing with trauma and distressing life experiences. Whether you're seeking individual psychotherapy or substance abuse treatment, I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore, heal, and grow. In addition to my clinical work, I have completed yoga teacher training, which has enhanced my approach by incorporating mindfulness and self-awareness practices to support emotional and mental healing. By integrating mind, body, and spirit, I work with clients to help them achieve greater mental clarity, emotional balance, and overall well-being. No matter where you are on your journey, I’m here to help guide and support you in taking the next steps toward a healthier, more balanced life. Feel free to reach out to learn more about how we can work together toward achieving your goals.

Despite being a good listener, I don't see myself as a "talk" therapist. I am interested in how you, your nervous system, and the environment are getting along with each other. We will DO things in our work just as much as talk and reflect. I provide ways to reduce overwhelming emotions that impact effectiveness, break unhelpful reactions/patterns, and enhance internal resources for navigating the world as it is. My personal style is a combination of a little irreverent spice and humor while deeply honoring your concerns and goals.

Life can feel so heavy when anxiety won’t let your mind rest, when fear wakes you at night, or when stress and self-doubt erode your confidence and faith. When burnout creeps in and relationships begin to crack, holding it all together can start to feel overwhelming. At Rising Calm Center, we understand that weight. Our Christian counselors help young professionals, couples, and families find calm, rebuild trust, and walk in the peace Jesus promised—rather than performing under the pressures this world demands. We integrate faith-based wisdom with evidence-based care, drawing from CBT, DBT, IFS, ACT, Gottman, EFT, Narrative Therapy, trauma-informed work, tapping, and breathwork. This combination helps you retrain your nervous system, heal emotional and spiritual wounds, and live with genuine peace. Clients often come to us struggling with anxiety, insomnia, panic attacks, grief, burnout, relationship conflict, or a sense of spiritual disconnection. Here, you’ll find compassion, honesty, and practical tools to feel safe in your body and centered in your spirit again. What we offer: • Free consultations for new clients — relief can start now • Same-week availability, including evenings (Mon–Thu until 8 p.m.) • Sliding-scale rates for affordable care • In-person, telehealth, or phone sessions You don’t have to face the storm alone. There is calm on the other side—and together, we can find it.

Davenport is the largest of the Quad Cities—alongside Bettendorf in Iowa and Rock Island and Moline across the Mississippi River in Illinois—a bi-state metropolitan area with an industrial and agricultural character, and its mental health landscape reflects the economic transitions of the upper Midwest's manufacturing belt alongside the specific challenges of a river city with significant disparities between more affluent and poorer neighborhoods. UnityPoint Health and Genesis Health System provide behavioral health services, and St. Ambrose University contributes to the regional education landscape. The Quad Cities, like many Midwest river cities, have been significantly affected by methamphetamine and opioid use, and substance use treatment is an important component of local mental health care. Common therapy concerns include economic stress tied to manufacturing sector change, anxiety, family and relationship difficulties, substance use and recovery, and the mental health challenges of navigating persistent economic uncertainty in the upper Midwest.
