Kerri Francis
Licensed Professional Counselor
I am a widow and a mother of 4. I have 2 adopted kids and 2 bio-kids. My favorite pastime is going to rock/metal concerts. If you don't know, AC/DC is the best band ever! I knew in 10th grade that I wanted to be a therapist. People came to me with their problems, but my life experiences make me uniquely qualified to help you navigate your path. I received my BS in Psychology and my M.Ed. in Counseling/Guidance from SWTSU (Texas State).
My primary approach to therapy is as a facilitator. I am completely sold on the effectiveness of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients discover who they are without negative life experiences getting in the way. I want my clients to be able to find their truth and to be able to live in their own truth, instead of living under the values, beliefs, and opinions of others. As such, it's necessary to recover from trauma and negative life events that disguise their truth. I work with clients who usually don't see the connections between their past and their present. By bringing those to light, clients gain self-awareness which results in the client's ability to make choices based on their own truth and their own value system.
Outside of GHCS, you can find me enjoying my kids' activities or listening to live music. When I have time off you'll catch me at a concert, doing things with/for my kids, visiting with friends, or napping! I'm the therapist for you if you are ready to find your truth, to "uncover, discover, and discard" all the things that keep you living in the shadow of your negative life events.
