About

Hi! I'm Fran Bax, MS, LMHC, LPC, CASAC-Master. I'm a licensed therapist in New York State and the state of Nevada. I specialize in integrating motivational interviewing and cognitive-based therapy to help clients overcome challenges such as depression, anxiety, and addiction. I provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment, where clients explore their motivations for change and learn practical strategies to challenge negative thoughts and behaviors. My approach emphasizes empowerment, resilience, and long-term growth, tailored to each individual's unique needs and goals.
