Francesca DeBiaso (She/They)

My Background and Approach

I come from a lineage of Italian-Mexican healers, hard workers, and creative types with a treatment approach that combines expressive art therapy, nature engagement, self compassion, cultural and ancestral awareness, mindfulness, and movement practices for embodied care. I have experience supporting people as they move through compassion fatigue and burn out, grief and loss, migration and acculturation, disordered eating, codependency and family dysfunction, life transitions, systemic oppression, addiction recovery, complex trauma, self worth and belonging, as well as anxiety and depression. My practice is 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming. I hold my masters in Art Therapy from School of Visual Arts in New York, NY and have facilitated both group and individual therapeutic interventions in nature settings, residential treatment centers, academic settings, lockup facilities, and community spaces which focus on returning to the mind-body connection and creative expression.

My Approach to Helping

In our time together we will tune into the needs of the nervous system and focus on stress management, emotion regulation, self-soothing, and coming home to the body, mind, and spirit. My practice is for individuals seeking something experiential and creative, taking into account your own cultural, communal, and spiritual identities.
