Finding the right counselor for you isn't easy, but Dr. Franklin makes it easy by listening, answering your questions, and giving you the tools you need to feel better. I've seen a lot of therapists over the years, and Dr. Franklin is the best. If you're considering meeting with her, stop considering. She's the best.
