Francesca Freda, LSW
Background
I am a Licensed Social Worker in Pennsylvania. I earned my Bachelor's and Master's degree in Social Work at Millersville University. I have experience with various populations including adults, children, those battling substance abuse disorders, and trauma. My previous experiences, including working in Oncology and In-patient treatment facilities, has molded my therapeutic approach to best support individuals as they face every day and unexpected life changes.
Approach
It’s easy in today’s world to forget to take a break and breathe. To care for ourselves and focus on our strengths. My experience with DBT, mindfulness and strength-based approaches aim to assist clients in recognizing their worth and creating a safe space to care for themselves physically, mentally, and emotionally. I use humor and compassion to create a positive therapeutic environment, allowing clients to feel seen, heard, and supported, in a way that allows them to be challenged as they work towards growth and feeling better.
