Emily Franchi, LCPC, LPC(She/Her/Hers)

Emily Franchi is a licensed professional counselor based in Rochester Hills, MI who specializes in trauma, depression, anxiety and social anxiety, and relationship issues. Her practice is open to college students and young adults, as well as adults in all stages of life. Emily is licensed to practice in both Illinois and Michigan, primarily serving the metro Detroit and Chicago areas.

When clients come to see Emily, they’re often facing a major life transition and may be feeling overwhelmed about all that such a shift implies. In particular, Emily enjoys working with young adults who may be having difficulty navigating the transition from adolescence to adulthood, and individuals in the process of starting a family or entering middle adulthood. Emily strives to foster an open, receptive dynamic that allows clients to speak freely about the different stressors they’re juggling. She works with clients to identify areas they can work on, and strongly supports them as they work towards these deeply personal goals.

Emily takes an integrative approach to treatment. She targets therapeutic outcomes involving both short-term symptom management and relief, as well as longer term, internal change and growth. Emily will help clients develop more effective coping skills to manage and reduce their current symptoms, which may be related to anxiety, depression, insomnia, or panic, utilizing mindfulness, meditation, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). To promote longer term growth and change, Emily uses psychodynamic and family systems therapies, keeping sessions open-ended to allow clients the space and time to actively explore their past and present experiences and relationships.

Emily is a certified trauma professional and EMDR provider, and has nearly a decade working with clients seeking support in their trauma recovery process. She works with clients in all stages of trauma therapy, those seeking help for the first time or years into therapy.
